ASUS takes the stage at Mobile World Congress 2013 today, and ahead of their event they have announced the Fonepad -- a 7-inch tablet with full 3G data and voice services using a new Intel ATOM processor.
ASUS and Intel have a long partnership and Hermann Eul, Intel vice president and co-general manager of the Mobile and Communications Group, states that the "new Atom Z2420 processor delivers the power, performance and flexibility required to accommodate a range of devices and market needs. We think the ASUS Fonepad is a very innovative device in an emerging category of 3G tablets with telephony features.”
The full specs of the Fonepad weren't given but we do know the ATOM Z2420 is paired with 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, and sit under a 7-inch 1280 x 800 display with 10-point multitouch.
We were told ASUS has no plans to release the Fonepad in North America, but we should see it in UK late Q2 2013. Pricing will start at a suggested retail of £179 (inc VAT). Exact pricing and specification will be confirmed closer to launch. Follow the break for the full press release.
