Asus MeMo Pad 7: Is It An Affordable Alternative To Samsung Nexus 7

There is no second thought that almost all the Android devices from Samsung displays a strong performance, compared to other Android powered devices in the comparative categories and that has made it very hard for other manufacturers to cope up with the competition against the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer.
Asus was one them, who are facing a tough challenge from its Android counterpart that delayed the release of their Android MeMo Pad 7, which was announced way back in January by the company. However, the device is finally released and seems the company took it’s own time in planning the marketing strategy and have finally succeeded with their plans by reducing price upto $50 when compared to the mighty Samsung Nexus 7 at price of just $149.
Asus’ new Android Tablet PC looks very much similar to it’s main competition, at least when they are kept side by side powered off, but the Memo Pad comes with low resolution 1024×600 display, which could be a setback if one can afford an extra $50 and definitely the Nexus 7 is an incredible one.
Nevertheless, if you can afford only $150 the MeMo Pad definitely is the one to go with, since specifications are powerful enough with a 1 GHz VIA processor, combined with 1 GB RAM running on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean along with a custom skin. This tablet PC is also loaded with a few extra widgets and holds an extra button on the bezel for convenient use of floating apps.
Another major loss of purchasing this tablet is that the device is fitted with a 1 megapixel front camera that is rather disappointing, since the devices priced even less are fitted at least 2 to 5 megapixel camera, either on back or front.
Ultimately, the company seems to have wasted their time in releasing a very disappointing Android Tablet PC that’s claimed to be competing against one of the most popular 7 inch tablet at just a difference of $50 and lacks many things, or rather uncomparable. Personally, I would with the Nexus 7 for an extra $50 and if I can’t afford, I would would cut coming month’s budget, instead of regretting for the mistakes.
