Asus Has Released A New Premium Tablet – Meet The ZenPad S 8.0

Asus has definitely captured the attention of many with their high-end, low-cost smartphone, the ZenFone 2, and they’re hoping that they can find similar success with their new tablet, the ZenPad S 8.0.  Let’s take a look at the specs:

• 8″ QXGA (1536×2048) IPS Display
• Intel Atom Z3560 or Z3580 Processor
• 2GB or 4GB of RAM
• 16GB / 32GB /64GB of Internal Storage
• microSD Card Slot
• 8MP Camera
• 5MP Front Facing Camera
• Dual Front Facing Speakers
• 15.2 Wh Battery
• USB Type-C Port
• Android 5.0

Not too shabby right?  It’s got pretty solid specs with some nice little extras including front facing speakers and a USB Type-C port.  The device also has Active Pen Support so you can doodle to your hearts content with Asus’ Z Stylus.

At $400 for the 4GB/64GB model it isn’t quite as competitive at price point when compared to the ZenFone 2 is but it’s a pretty decent price nonetheless.  The device will be available in about a month as NewEgg.ca has the launch date set at September 25.
