Asus Fonepad 7 Dual SIM Alternatives & Analysis
Facing a fierce competition in an already populated budget tablet market in India, the ASUS Fonepad 7 has a lot to worry about. The newly launched LAVA QPAD e704 offers a higher resolution screen and a Quad Core processor with even lower price tag.
Dell Venue 7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 offer a similar specification and feature set with a price tag matching the product. However, FonePad 7’s competitor in the market is from ASUS itself. The last generation Google Nexus 7 currently retails for about INR 11000.
The Nexus 7 comes with a stock Vanilla Android flavor , 32 GB Internal Memory , Gorilla Glass and a suite of other features. The Fonepad 7 doesn’t really stand out in this competitive market and will have to offer something unique and more powerful (Quad Core processor at least) keeping the price range within sub INR 15000 mark.
