New one la, white plastic n front speaker cannot b wrong right?

Saw it at tamp mall level 4 challenger... :)

ya, then confirmed new one. cos only the new one has black n white color. that's good news. they probably drop the price to match telco price. in the old thread, ppl reported that M1 sells the fonepad 7 at $299 w/o contract.

What is the difference between this and the first version? It seems the same to me. Very confusing.

Ok let me answer myself.

new fonepad has:
1) Better processor with more cores & GPU
2) Faster UMTS download speed
3) 10 finger multi-touch
4) Higher MP rear camera
5) Better speakers
6) Better battery life
7) Lighter

Above info taken from ASUS specs.

Personally I can only feel

better 2cpu & 2gpu cores

better Camera 5m

speakers like same , no difference

battery wise the old 1 better cos 1cpu1gpu only + bigger batt (I tried same usage pattern of apps) (4270 mAh old ver / 3950 mAh battery new)

plastic feel & bulkier(fatter) but Lighter than old metal ver

Connection wise no difference cos I am on 3g anyway. If I got LTE sim I would gone for tab3 8inch. Both I can only go up to 7mps (same on m1 3g)

Old ver screen is brighter than the new ver with or without the auto sensor.

same 10 finger touch sensor. ( how to use all 10 fingers on the small screen?)

new 1 can go up to 64gb micro sd card old 1 only up to 32gb.

Wonder y they nvm put asus logo in front to show branding? ASUS logo is nice!
