Design and Build
The Asus Fonepad is a testament to the design ethos of its time, encapsulated in a reasonably sturdy, albeit slightly bulky form. Measuring 196.4 x 120.1 x 10.4 mm and weighing 340 grams, it certainly leans more towards a manageable tablet than a super-portable phone. The 7-inch IPS LCD display is compact by today's tablet standards but was a significant screen size upgrade for phone users. Despite a somewhat modest screen-to-body ratio of 60.2%, the device offered a sufficient 800 x 1280 pixel resolution with a pixel density of approximately 216 ppi. These specifications allowed for decent, though not particularly groundbreaking, visual quality, suitable for browsing and multimedia consumption. The color options, Titanium Gray and Champagne Gold, provided some degree of personalization for prospective buyers.
