Asus ZenPad Z8 review

You know the type of love song where the singer basically just lists a bunch of generic things about the person they're enamored with? Like hair and eyes? That's kind of how I feel about the Asus Zen Pad Z8. There isn't just one specific, unique thing...

The Asus Zen Pad Z8 starts at only $149 with 4G LTE. It's slim and lightweight with a sharp, bright screen and smooth performance. The battery lasts longer than the vast majority of tablets and charges quickly via USB-C.

The front-facing speaker and camera quality leave a lot to be desired.

While it's not fit for writing your next term paper on, the Asus ZenPad Z8 is our favorite budget Android tablet and is perfect for casual use.

Asus ZenPad Z8

The Asus ZenPad Z8 for Verizon Wireless is a relatively affordable Android tablet with a sharp display and solid performance, but you'll get more for your money elsewhere if you don't need a tablet with cellular connectivity.

Fairly affordable. Sharp display. Sturdy build. Expandable storage. USB-C port.

Limited internal storage. Heavy UI layer.

Comparisons and Conclusions You'll be hard-pressed to find a solid cellular-enabled tablet in the same price range as the $250 Asus ZenPad Z8. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 costs twice as much, as does the Apple iPad mini 4 . The iPad mini 2 is a slightly...

Asus ZenPad Z8 Review

Think back to the year 2012. Remember much of anything? We don't blame you if you can't, so here's a quick recap: Mitt Romney and Barack Obama were running against each other for the presidency of the Unite States, NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars...

Thin body with nice texture on the back ; Beautiful 2K display ; Aspect ratio is great for browsing the web and playing games ; Surprisingly smooth performance ; Access to Verizon’s LTE Advanced network

Build quality leaves a bit to be desired ; Many of Asus’s software additions feel gimmicky and unnecessary ; Front-facing speakers, while a nice addition, sound tinny and lifeless

It’s been quite a while since I’ve actually had and used an Android tablet for a prolonged period of time. The last Android-powered tablet that I can remember owning myself was the 2nd generation of the Google Nexus 7, and while using the ZenPad Z8,...

Definitely NOT worth the money...

" We got this tablet as a Christmas present, and it's honestly shocking, for one thing the charge lasts about half an hour if you're lucky, if you're using the tablet for watching YouTube or playing games, and then the charger doesn't actually work and...

Great value for money.

" I needed to replace my nexus 10 which seemingly just gave up altogether,refusing to switch on or charge.This Asus ZenPad 10 has been a worthy replacement at a fraction of the cost. "

Asus Zenpad 8 Inch Black - 16GB.

" This has hanged a few times already. Operation is not as smooth as I expected. I'm not sure if this is due to the hardware or the operating system. Overall it seems to be a good tablet for the price. "
