Phablet is all abt the pen. Anything bigger than 5"(G2 exception) but no pen, it'll never be in my list

RM1,268 OMG SO CHEAP

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry64974779

Saw two review videos. Looks like it will lag (like when scrolling down through photo albums) even though it's Android 4.2.2 with 2GB RAM. Camera photos look whitish. Otherwise nice phone.

The price is definitely cheap for the specs and features and the design looks cool (except for the thick bezels which are a total turnoff).

A good effort from Asus!

same here. i'm hooked to a proper pen.

however, asus gives me mixed reaction. having owned 1st gen transformer... really love it. nothing to complain. but after that, had padfone2... and scary experience -- having to go Customer Service, wait, and then see so many bugs... no doubt back then, asus was fast with firmware updates, but still... its no fun having a buggy main device.

but otherwise, this is cheap and looks like a decent deal.

Mana LTE?

Wow really cheap... Anyone bought? I might take the plunge...

No flash for the camera, non removable battery and no LTE. Otherwise, the other features like full HD display, 2 front speakers, stylus capability, low price etc may make this an appealing phablet.

How is Asus' after sales service ?

Got demo unit at the mines, not bad. Everything is smooth and screen is very very nice and bright. Sound is clear but not loud, maybe cuz the place was too crowded just now. And yes, its really cheap for what you're getting.

Might be getting 1 myself, will try play again tomorrow

bro, pls try it and share the feedback with us. the price is attrative. i watched youtube link, the modern combat 4 cannot run at all

If gaming is important, you can forget about this phablet as the Atom processor does not perform well ( based on my previous experience using the Fonepad 1.2 n 1.5 Ghz) and many games are incompatible too
If you are looking for a budget phablet with reasonably good performance - Huawei Ascend Mate , Mega 6.3

For normal usage, browsing, watch movies and light gaming is smooth. But heavy games didnt get to try, internet was so slow at the shop. See the spec seems to be the same with Lenovo K900. Perhaps can check with k900 users.

Contrary to most review, the back of the fon is like rubberized matte feeling. Not glossy so no fingerprint issue. Only black color available, white not yet arrive

except for the thickness and soft buttons, I think this device rocks! Especially for that price.

Finally bought this phone after few times playing at the shop. Got it at rm1399 with 6 months instalment


Still cant believe the price i paid for the experience of this fon

i was at Digital Mall PJ. saw some demo units.

played around with it. wow... it feels very much like a note (i'm a Note 2 user). there's even pen hovering function (looks like they use wacom screen tech?!?)...

scrolling was smooth. din really feel any lag. 6" isn't as uncomfortable as i would have expected.

din try games and photos.

but ya, had to agree with forgot_86. we played a sample video that was in the phone and maxed the volume. could not really hear anything. it's bad for a phone with 2 front facing speakers.

since you got yourself a unit. if you have the time, can try and test out the following games (just curious to know how it does):
* Destroy Gunner SP (alpha) @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?....DGunsSPF&hl=en
* Asphalt 8 @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?....ANMP.GloftA8HM (it's now free)
* Fifa 14: @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ifa14_row&hl=en
and maybe CSR Racing too @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...otion.csrracing

these are considered the graphic intensive games. do let us know how it performs.

soft button is the way to go. i prefer soft buttons.

yes bro, i m serious considering these few models. Have to study more before i make any decision. The asus model is attrating me with the FHD resolution plus 32GB internal. While the Ascend mate is for its battery life and the ability of using sd card as internal storage. As for Mega, i m not so keen. Side note, the G Pro can be get at RM1.2 via Taobao hence it is a good deal and good contestant in my heart. and it's a f240k model


yes bro you should try it and share

Just got this just now for RM1399 (+ free 2 years international warranty, 16GB Memory Card and 12 months EZP). So far, this thing is great for reading, which is the primary reason i bought it for as my Ipad is tad too heavy.

I had a chance to play with a black set in LYP.

Nice full HD screen and finishing. Contrary to reviews which said that it has a glossy plastic surface, it actually came with a soft touch back cover which is slip resistant.

Feels light and not too bulky despite its thickness. Not much bloatware installed.

However, the 2 front speakers are a big disappointment. Even my Mega's single rear speaker is so much louder. Wonder if firmware update can fix this.

I came across some online retailers who are selling this for less than $ 1,300. I suppose it's really good value.
