Asus ZenPad Now Official in PH

Asus Philippines has officially launched three ZenPad tablets in the country, namely the ZenPad S 8.0 (Z3580CA), ZenPad 7.0 (Z370CG) and ZenPad C 7.0 (Z170CG).

The announcement of these three models of the Asus ZenPad came to no surprise as these are the same slates that were seen on the company’s website just days before the official local launch.

Then zenpad s 8 is super expensive and totally overpriced for a small tablet. They literally dont have the right to higher their tablet price than the one from Apple’s.. Ipad mini 4 is coming and the mini 3 will soon have the 15k price range. Though it doesnt have the most powerful specs in the world, it will give you the best and smoothest tablet experience.

Asus should atleast release a 16 or 32 gb version and price it around 10k and im sold. Im sure its going to sell like hotcakes too. If not, ill go with the mini 3 this xmas season. Im sure a lot of filipinos wouldnt buy an android tablet thats really expensive. :)

i agree. it’s WAY MORE expensive than i thought considering one ASUS fanboy/spammer always keeps mentioning this product as if it was the holy grail.

hindi ako basta basta nabubulag sa specs na yan and especially from ASUS na may history ng part defects found in their Nexus tablets

if you can wait for iPad Air 2 to go down in price sometime in October (assuming Air 3 releases at that time), that will be a better buy IMO kahit mas lower specced yun in terms of hardware.

Apple does media consumption tablets better and you get more optimized tablet apps in iPad than in any Android devices. if you want a productivity tablet, a Windows tablet is better

Ahm seriously namamahalan ka pa diyan? it’s an 8″ tablet with 64gb rom and 4gb ram and with an official ASUS warranty. Ang samsung 8.4 tab s with lte na tinutukoy mo eh 16gb lang ang internal and it’s just store warranty from gray market kasi ang official with samsung warranty is above 20k

OK din ang line na ito…

Kaso, dahil x86 architecture at iba ang GPU niya,
app incompatibillity ang usual na problema dito

Also kung ok lang ZEN-UI sa iyo, go for it…
Expecting ma roroot ito soon para matangal ang di kailangan apps…

hhmmm, you have a point, pero it has the same SoC as Zenfone 2, we could safely assume that anything that runs on zenfone 2 can run on zenpad s

I’m looking for a new tablet to replace my P3100. Was planning to get the Yoga Tab 2 10.1 at Php20k but the Zenpad S 8 at around Php17k looks a real killer.

Hi Yugatech, will you be doing a review of the Zenpad S 8 soon? Hehe.
