Value For Money

The Asus Fonepad 7 (FE171CG) sounds like a great device on paper, and fixes the many shortcomings of its predecessors. There is more storage, more RAM and a better camera in the FE171CG. However, real-world performance is poor, with the tablet unable to keep up with the simplest of tasks. The display is also poor, and the touchscreen regularly disregards taps. Consider this product only if you really want a 7-inch tablet that can make calls.
