Asus outs the Memo Pad HD 7, Memo Pad FHD 10, Fonepad Note FHD 6, and new Transformer Pad Infinity

It’s Computex week in Taiwan’s capital Taipei, and Asus wanted to make sure it wouldn’t go unnoticed at the event. So it’s taken to announcing many new devices, such as the all-new Transformer Pad Infinity, the Memo Pad HD 7, the Memo Pad FHD 10, and the Fonepad Note FHD 6.
Convoluted names aside, these are some interesting products.
The new Transformer Pad Infinity is obviously the successor to the tablet of the same name that got unveiled last year. The sequel turns out to definitely have been something worth waiting for.
  • It’s got a 10.1-inch 2,560×1,600 IPS touchscreen
  • 1.9 GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor
  • 2 GB of RAM
  • 32 GB of storage
  • 5 MP rear camera
  • 1.2 MP front camera
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth
  • SonicMaster enhanced audio
  • A redesigned keyboard dock with a multitouch touchpad
  • USB 3.0
  • SDXC support
  • Longer battery life
The new Transformer Pad Infinity will be in stores “this fall”, and it will cost you $399 by itself, or $499 with the bundled keyboard dock, according to The Verge.
Asus also unveiled its first ever phablet today. It’s called Fonepad Note FHD 6, and its name does hint at a few specs.
  • It’s got a 6-inch 1080p Full HD Super IPS touchscreen indeed
  • It’s packing 
  • 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 processor

  • all the usual connectivity options (sans LTE)
  • A 3,200 mAh battery
  • It runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
It has dual speakers on the front, a la the HTC One, and a stylus too.
Pricing info or a release date for the Fonepad Note FHD 6 haven’t been announced yet.
Moving along we are arriving into affordable tablet territory, where Asus has introduced the Memo Pad FHD 10 and the Memo Pad HD 7. These are going to be the company’s mass market offerings in the tablet space, so if they get released in as many places as possible they should be able to sell well.

  • 2 GB of RAM
  • dual speakers
  • it runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

Once again, Asus has chosen not to make pricing and release information available at this time.
Finally we have what’s going to be the cheapest product out of this batch,
The Asus Memo Pad HD 7. 
  • This is a 7-inch tablet that has 1,280×800 screen resolution 
  • And comes with a quad-core processor
