News & Reviews:   ASUS MeMo Pad 7 ME572CCL

ASUS recently scheduled the Android L or Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the ASUS ZenFone 4, ZenFone 5, ZenFone 6, ZenFone 5 LTE and PadFone S for the end of April 2015. Now with the end of April set for today, a new schedule has been released today revealing that an OTA schedule starting with the ZenFone 5 LTE A500KL in the beginning of May 2015 and ending with the PadFone S PF500KL in the beginning of June. Bear in mind that the schedule could change again, but this should give all those ZenFone and PadFone S users in Malaysia an idea of when to expect the latest Android L update. Incidentally, the Android 5.0 Lollipop update has already been rolled out for the ASUS MeMO Pad 7 ME572C/CL so ASUS tablet users should expect their sweet upgrades soon.

While ASUS have already announced a 64-bit tablet with the ASUS Fonepad 7 (FE375CG) they recently brought another 64-bit tablet to the family with the official announcement of a 64-bit ASUS MeMo Pad 7 (ME572C/CL). In terms of design,  the tablet offers more colours and slimmer bezels. Unlike the Fonepad 7, this MeMo Pad 7 tablet does not pack in 3G or 4G LTE. Tech specs for the tablet include a 1.86GHz Intel Atom processor,  1GB RAM, 7-inch IPS screen with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution and oleophobic coating along with a 5MP rear camera and  2MP front camera.  The cameras use ASUS PixelMaster camera technoloogy while the tablet measures in at 113.7 x 189.3 x 9.6mm and 295g. No news yet on Malaysia release dates or pricing but early performance benchmarks have these new 64-bit Intel Atom processor working very well so stay tuned for more developments.
