Asus. It's nice that you're trying
But maybe try a bit harder? Most of the included features are of little use and there are so many bloatware apps. It's also still based on Android 5.0
Software oversharpens picture
Cannot disable video smoothing
No specific apps to take advantage of large display

Low price, Superb high, res screen, Stereo speakers
A lot of pre, installed apps, Flimsy microSD socket cover, Average camera

Abstract: The Asus Zenpad S 8.0 is the latest tablet to hit the market, and it combines a handy size with some decent specs, a gorgeous screen and a price that doesn't break the bank. Can it compete with Apple's iPad mini though? We took a look at one to find out...

Super-sharp screen, excellent value, smart design for an affordable tablet, super-customisable user interface
Build not quite as hot as looks suggest, bursting at the seams with preinstalled guff
The Asus ZenPad S 8.0 is special because it crams a good, super-sharp screen into a very slim and handy body for a great price. Samsung's best at this level is the Samsung Tab 4 8.0, which isn't nearly as good by comparison. If you have a bit more...
Stylish, compact, Runs Android, Ultra HD display, 4GB RAM, Good camera spec
Videos seem oversaturated
Asus have shown us that consumers shouldnt have to choose between form and function when on the lookout for a mid-range device. Not only does the tablet look great but the dual front facing speakers, 2k display, expandable memory and good battery life al...

Very thin and light, great screen, nimble performance, flexible storage, cheap price
Few enterprise features, below average battery life, runs an older version of Android
