The Asus Fonepad price has officially been outlined and those on a lookout for an Android-driven tablet, offering phone functionalities, should note that they will now be able to take the slate home for €219. Two variants of the device have been put up on display at the MWC, radiating different colors namely, titanium gray and champagne gold.
Potential buyers will be given an option to purchase the Fonepad in either 8GB or 16GB models.

The CPU has been clocked at 1.2GHz and it will be backed by 1GB of RAM.
Well, the storage configuration isn’t the only component people get to choose from. The company has left the decision of purchasing the slab with or without an integrated camera to customers as well. The tablet will definitely pack a 1.2MP front-facing webcam, though the 3MP main snapper featuring auto focus and 720p video-recording capability will be optional.
The device incorporates a 7-inch multi-touch display which bears the capability of reproducing visuals at a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. Owners should be able to enjoy 178-degree wide viewing angles, on account of the IPS technology employed by the screen.
Browsing the Internet will be made possible using Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and 3G. And at the same time, Bluetooth has also been included in order to facilitate wireless sharing of content. A 2,420mAh battery will be powering the device for undertaking the aforementioned functions and apparently, it should render up to 9 hours of usage.
According to the company, the Asus Fonepad should start shipping sometime next month. The retail value mentioned earlier will be applicable for the 8GB model flaunting a camera on the flip side.
