Asus launched on April 2 7-inch tablets in Brazil: the Nexus 7, made in partnership with Google, and Fonepad exclusively yours. However, how to decide between them? Which one is more advanced? Which is cheaper? In this comparative TechTudo you know the positives and negatives of each.
Design and Display: Draw technician
In the dispute
design and specifications related to the dimensions of the device, it can be said that there is a kind of technical draw. The visual of them are very similar and the dimensions idem. The Fonepad is slightly smaller, but the difference is minimal: comprimeiro 19.64 cm by 12.01 cm wide and 1.04 cm thick vs 19.85 x 12.0 x 10.45 cm Nexus 7 .
weight, they are identical: 340 grams. As the screen: both have a seven-inch display with resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, 216 ppi density IPS technology LCD. The Nexus 7 takes a slight advantage by having your display your glass scratch resistant, but in terms of picture quality, they are equal.
Performance and Memory: Nexus 7
visually If the difference is small in terms of the Nexus processor 7 has a good advantage in relation to Fonepad. It comes equipped with an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, against a single-core Intel Atom Fonepad. The graphics of the Nexus 7 are processed by a GPU GeForce 416 Mhz, while Fonepad uses the PowerVR SGX 540.
Both have 1 GB of RAM and come with 16 GB capacity for storing files. In terms of battery plus a slight advantage for the Nexus 7, which uses the battery of 4325 mAh to 4270 against the rival. Therefore, in terms of performance, the win is clearly the Nexus 7.
Camera: Fonepad
Normally
cameras of tablets are not so used, but they are still a mainstay of tiebreaker in this fight – and that give a favorable point to Fonepad. The camera it records images up to 3 megapixels (and shoots in 720p), while the Nexus 7 produces images of only 1.2 megapixels. Another difference is that the Fonepad has two cameras, one front and one rear, and the Nexus has only the front.
Connectivity: Fonepad
Another category in which there is ample advantage of Fonepad is connectivity. It has memory card slot, USB port and comes with 3G chips for entry (which can be used even as a phone). And none of this comes the Nexus 7, which has only microUSB connector and WiFi Incidentally, the lack of a space cards, even if microSD is a point and negative Nexus, since he does not have much memory and easily lota – especially if you download games.
Operating System: Nexus 7
Both have Android, so it may seem a technical draw, but the Nexus 7 comes with “pure Android” without any visual interference from Asus, keeping the interface designed by Google. Also it comes with Android 4.2. Ie: have the latest version of the mobile platform.
Fonepad, in turn, is equipped only with the Android 4.1. Of course this is not a huge difference, but the Nexus 7 is superior in operating system since, at least, has the distinction of pure and Android version has more advanced features multiplayer, for example, and others that are not available in the previous edition.
Price: Nexus 7
Released as a very low-cost tablet in much of the world, the Nexus 7 still has a price that can be considered salty in Brazil: R $ 999, sold exclusively at Walmart. Even so, it still comes out cheaper than your competitor, which costs U.S. $ 1,098 on the same network and R $ 1,099 on other sites.
As with almost everything in this fight, the difference is not so great – are only R $ 100. However, taking into consideration that the total price is U.S. $ 1000, the difference is 10% of the product value, something certainly relevant. Therefore, in this regard, who wins out is the Nexus 7.
