Meh. The Lenovo S8-50 is 12,999 Php and has superior specs. 1K more and you get an 8″ 1920×1200 IPS display, LTE, an 8 megapixel camera, more compact body, and a slightly bigger battery (4270 vs 4000 mAh). Tried the S8-50 demo unit at Gigahertz Glorietta and it’s almost like the Galaxy Tab S 8.4. This Fonepad 8 needs a fat price cut.
Meh. Lenovo sucks. Can’t even provide a KitKat update to Lenovo K900. Nahiya naman ang Asus sa Lenovo nung nag-upgrade yung current-gen Zenfone sa KitKat at may Lollipop upgrade pa this April.
^ iniwan na nila K900, Chipset problem
