ASUS Memo Pad 7 (ME572C) – Test tablet

One can say that the tablet is a true friend of every technological maniac, especially if we are talking about the handy and lightweight model with a powerful processor and vivid display. And so does the ASUS Memo Pad 7 (ME572C) – although stylistically seems to be mainly dedicated to women.

HOUSING / WORKMANSHIP

Tablet that can fit in a handbag and … that looks like a handbag? ASUS Memo Pad 7 (ME572C) shows that the mobile equipment is not exclusively reserved for the male audience. The device, in addition to its szykowności and elegance, has very good quality. More space, Memo Pad 7 does not deviate from the trends in this sector tablets. The lightweight (269 grams) and slender. Easily be able to keep them in one hand. In this respect, it surpasses even the Lenovo S5000 (250 grams, 6 mm thick), but it is close to him.The tablet is made of plastic material occurring here in two forms. The main body is made of a smooth and matt plastic plecki finished and rough layer of material that does not cover the whole rear surface. Thanks to this treatment equipment looks more like a women in addition to clothes, than a full-fledged tablet. Memo Pad 7 comes in several different colors, but I think none of them is dedicated to us, gentlemen. Solid device has a slightly outlined corners and a rectangular shape – characteristic elements Lumii Nokia 1520. I like the Finnish Phablet so and Memo Pad is very nice.

In the tested model display mounted in a slightly wider than the cover glass body. It looks nice, but I wish above and below the screen is enough free space. The manufacturer could either reduce the area, or attempt to replace the virtual touch control buttons. On the other hand, wide frame allow for comfortable grip Memo Pad 7 in horizontal orientation – while watching movies or playing games.front panel is characterized by extraordinary simplicity. Over the 7-inch display just placed a video camera to talk and light metering sensor. On the back side of the device is just as simple. In one corner of the main camera was mounted and placed in the middle of the manufacturer's logo. In the upper part of the left side you will find a microSD slot, on the opposite side of the physical buttons (wake and volume control) and microUSB port on the bottom next to one of the two multimedia speakers. The second is located at the upper edge with the audio output.

As previously I could mention, the ASUS Memo Pad 7 has been made ​​with care. The device does not squeak even though the plastic structure is susceptible to soft flex. Corning Glass cover Fit Glass is so flexible that it bends under stronger pressure, but the discoloration on the screen is small. It's a really well-made tablet. [Temperatura_obudowa product_id = "20624"] For the most part the structure is warm, but only under heavy load the temperature rises to values ​​which give rise to discomfort (in excess of 40 degrees Celsius). Available above graphic shows a sample of the housing record warmth during strong operation of the processor.

CAMERA

ASUS-y usually have decent photographic facilities – both in terms of equipment and software designed to take pictures. In the case of the tested model, we get a 5-megapixel camera without flash, but with autofocus. Feature-rich application for shooting allows you to perform a series of Turbo – up to 100 photos in less than a minute. Photos in turn can view and save only those selected by us.

In addition, the program allows you to impose a variety of color effects and taking pictures in a variety of modes:

• Stepping back in time – after the picture shows a preview of the slide, where we can view a series of photos from the last 3 seconds
• Selfie – set the amount of the face and we turn the tablet, and when the device detects all, automatically takes a photo
• Depth of field – makes a photograph of the object, which is close to the lens, and blurs the background
• Removing Smart – the tablet takes a series of 5 images and removes moving objects
• With a smile – after a series of 5 images, choose the best tablet
• Self-portrait – in the preview window bar appears with options to add blush on the cheeks, skin smoothing, slimming cheeks (sic) and enlargement of the eye
• and Panorama, Night Mode and animation GIF

Sample pictures and videos look good, although in this segment models possessing find better equipment. Photographs taken Memo Pad 7 have natural colors, but the amount of detail could be higher. Videos in turn (1080p, 30 frames / sec.) Are smooth, but would look better if you could use the image stabilizer. Unfortunately, this feature is reserved only for video recording in 720p. The camera is doing well with the recording of dynamic objects and generally there is no reason to complain.

THE SCREEN

The tablet is equipped with a 7-inch screen running at a resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels, which is analogous to that which we meet in the Nexus 7 (2013) or Allview Viva H7 Xtreme. Applied resolution translates into a very clear picture of the pixel density of 323 ppi equal. This amount of screen density factor also meet the Retina display iPad mini second generation. It is no wonder that reading books or rich text memo websites Po 7 is a pleasure. Fonts are suitably smooth and very clear.

On the technical side, we are dealing with IPS matrix characterized by a very wide viewing angles. The colors are not distorted screen regardless of how much odchylimy tablet. The projected image is of very good quality – the colors are vibrant and saturated. In this respect, the device is not inferior to other matrices IPS, even those found in more expensive models. Memo Pad 7 to give a great consumption of multimedia content. Both pictures and videos will be presented very well. Measurements of the intensity of the backlight, with a maximum brighten it pointed to the value of 559 cd / m2. With regard to the test we conducted a 7-inch tablet, featured model would put in second place because of the brightness of the luminance, just behind another ASUS-I: Nexus 7 (2013). It is worth noting that among the stronger competitors in the form of Samsung (Galaxy Tab Galaxy Tab 3 and 4) and Lenovo (S5000, A7-3500-H / FL) dominated by the values ​​in the range of 330 – 460 cd / m2.

Test Memo Pad 7 not only performs well in the competition, but should also check in an environment where there is a lot of light. The screen remains readable even in sunniest days, and when using the device in the dark, the light radiating to the display will not hurt (minimum illumination of only 6 cd / m2). From my own observations I will add that the screen is very responsive to touch.

EQUIPMENT

All music lovers will appreciate the side stereo speakers emit sound a maximum intensity of up to 78 dB. Tablet play at this very clean and nice. I have not heard that there was any distortion or crackling sound when playing at maximum volume. Built-in WLAN 802.11 a / b / g / n to work properly, although carried out by our test showed that the tablet can lose the connection to the router, whenever it is on a different floor. The condition affects multiple devices but this price range. During the practice tests I noticed that hold the tablet in a particular position of influence to reduce coverage. [Test slug = "wifi-Tablet" axis = "negative" product_id = "20624"] GPS module test Memo Pad 7 went very smoothly. Locate on the map took us less than a minute, and sample a recording of the tablet path is good, though not entirely accurate (registered route is shifted by about a meter from the true path that went through). On the map it is not recorded that actually went through the lanes for pedestrians.

Built-in memory, we have 16 GB (5.19 GB have been reserved by the system). You can move applications to the micro SD card (the manufacturer declares compliance with cards up to 64 GB), but is transported only part of the application data. Tablet supports OTG accessories – flash drives, hard disk drives with their own power supply (FAT32 or NTFS), active and passive HUB and mouse. Do not connect a external modem. His service was probably locked software'owo, given the available option with the modem 4G tablet (ME572CL). The device supports the transmission of images over Miracast function. We checked this feature on a device with an appropriate certificate. The image was smooth, he had no major delays. I tried to play on the tablet of the transmitted image, and in this way to watch a movie. Both tasks podołał Memo Pad 7 without any problems. 

BATTERY

The tablet has a battery with a fairly large capacity, such as the device has a 7-inch screen – 3950 mAh. Such a battery mounted in Fonepadzie 7 whose specifications, in the likeness of the test tablet is also based on the Intel system. Memo Pad 7 stand on a single charge even more than 11 hours of surfing the Internet via Wi-Fi, and nearly 12 hours of video. If the equipment had a built-in modem, then we could probably count on about 7-8 hours of continuous use the Web via a packet data (in the latter case, "shoot" because we did not have the opportunity to test variant ME572CL). [Test slug = "battery" virtual = "video-wifi-off, internet-wifi, communicator-fi, PCMark-work, charging-ac" product_id = "20624"] Usually, we will be able to count on the possibility of forgetting to charge your tablet for 2 -3 days, depending on its use. Intensive CPU loads games or more demanding applications can quickly unload the battery, but reading books or browsing the internet – what, I think it would use the tablet user / wearer – will allow for long runs on a single charge. I will only add that the loading of 10-100% battery lasts about 3 hours.

PERFORMANCE

Consistently tablet market is shared between devices based on Intel and models having the units of other manufacturers. ASUS trust but this first, so that Memo Pad 7 works based on the Intel Atom Z3560. The system is one of the stronger, as evidenced by the great recorded by the model results in individual benchmarks. We are dealing with 64-bit unit, with a 4-core processor clocked at 1.86 GHz, graphics chip PowerVR G6430 and 2 GB of memory.

The only test 3DMark Unlimited was a challenge for the tablet (in pozostałtych he obtained the maximum score of), while in GFXBench device won scores comparable to those of the first generation iPad Air. On the face of it a big surprise, considering that the issue price gap divides the two devices. But the truth is that both tablets – and Apple, and ASUS – based on the same GPU. Technical specifications flattering Memo Pad 7 makes a very interesting tablet. The model performs well against the arena we conducted 25 7-inch tablet, which would be one of the most efficient. Memo Pad 7 is not ashamed to your score, even if you compare it with the tablet system based on the Nvidia Tegra 4 (in this case, Gigabyte Tegra Note). [Test slug = "gfxbench-fps" virtual = "t-rex-3-offscreen, manhattan-offscreen" product_id = "19848, 19958, 19230, 20624, 19450"] According to my assumptions tablet perfectly passed the practical test – all games they tried to involve him run on high graphics settings. Their smooth operation was different – Asphalt 8: Airborne ,Modern Combat 5 and Real Racing 3 acted without absolutely no hesitation. Lower framerate noticed in Dead Trigger 2 . Light zacinki happened at the beginning of the game, just after the start of the board, but then the gameplay of titles increased to a satisfactory level. The device can play video files of various formats, including 4K movies. I enjoy the fact that the processor excels at Full HD video support, because this allows us to use the native resolution of the display. Viewed websites scrolls very smoothly and general multimedia tablet that is not scary.

SYSTEM

The factory was running Android 4.4.2, but a few days before the publication of the test ASUS has released an update to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop. Regardless of the best of our version of the system is enhanced with an original cap manufacturer. Installed modification changes the layout of the system, making it colorful and more accessible to the user. There is limited here only to the substitution application icons, but also the distribution of the commands in the settings. For one thing well, because pure Android is boring, but on the other hand, little of the "material design" lollipop. Are left subtle changes introduced with the new distribution of Android – how to delete notifications, as well as reviewing the menu recently opened programs. He has developed a system of lightness. In the pre-installed system noticed occasional slowdown in action tablet which eliminates the introduced updates.

A key element of the overlay ASUS is the ability to personalize the system. There is limited here only to change the wallpaper or the possibility stick to the desktop widgets. We can change the animation scrolling screens, as well as install icon pack. However, the manufacturer gives us a choice. In the settings you will find the page "Home" for selecting our preferred launcher. In case we want to reach for a solution to the competition, the selection menu will help us change.

The functionality of the system enhanced with easy mode. Dedicated less familiar with Android users, this mode limits the tablet features the most basic, and by the way modifies the appearance of Android. Simple layout, large icons and a smaller selection of options make it easy to use the device. Minimalism does not mean losing the charm. ASUS made sure that this mode would not only friendly, not only in terms of service, but also appearance. Expandable top bar hides two useful features:

• Reinforcement – a tool for rapid purification of memory
• Balanced mode / images / reader – color screen mode switch that adjusts for optimal color profile used function display

Of course, could not miss the application added:

• Do It Later – program reminders.
• File Manager – as the name suggests, allows you to view files.
• Audio Wizard – allows you to adjust the audio profile to the current activity. Predefined profiles are energy saving, Music, Movie, Recording, Games, Speech.
• WebStorage – helps in automatic uploading images to disk in the cloud.
• People – pretty, again maintained in blue colors Address Book.
• Energy saving function – a program that allows you to manage energy accumulator. We get to choose from three modes: a cost-effective, optimized and manual.
• SuperNote – a really cool application for quotation. We can write, draw and draw, and everything imitating card template.
• Splendid – a program to personalize the display profile. We can choose the color temperature of the display, and improve the quality of the projected image.

[Nggallery id = 906 template = techmaniak] There is What's Next inform you about upcoming events Story to create a diary of our life in the form of a photo album,QucikMemo for short notes, Party Link to sharing the contents of the memory devices in the vicinity, and even … Mirror. It is impossible to describe all of this because it is too much. Hooray for ASUS, but hopefully these functions and programs of the manufacturer no longer. Now seems to be too many of them. 

SUMMARY / EVALUATION
