As Asus Philippines is set to launch the ZenPad in the country next week, we managed to ship in a unit to review from the US where it's already available in several stores (via Galleon.ph). Asus already has a couple of Android tablets/phablets in its line-up -- the FonePad, Nexus 7, MeMo Pad, and Transformer Pad -- but their success with the ZenFone series have prompted Asus to use the same formula to create the new ZenPad series. It's interesting to note that while the official specification of the Asus ZenPad points to a USB Type-C interface, the one that we have still uses the regular micro-USB port. Also, we note that this variant of the ZenPad S 8.0 uses a 5-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera, as opposed to the 8MP and 5MP combo as specified by Asus. It goes without saying that the ZenPad S 8.0 is the best-looking tablet Asus has ever made and befitting of being the successor to the MeMo Pad series. We got the Asus ZenPad S 8.0 in the US via Galleon.ph {see listing here} which took a little under 2 weeks to arrive. Asus Philippines will finally launch the newer edition of its Eee PC series this week.
