    Awesome tablet !!!

    Awesome tablet !!!
    This is a great deal. The tablet is just awesome.PROS- Premium metal unibody- 74% screen to body ratio- Gorgeous, bright screen, 264 ppi (same as iPad)- Looks good, feels premium, high quality build- Very narrow bezels on the sides- This thing is fast. I mean - FAST- Fingerprint sensor is lightening- Gets about 80% charge in about 30 min- USB Type-C connector- Expandable storage. In addition to 64 GB storage it comes with, you can have up to 256 GB more with a micro SD card.- Comes with a free 100 GB Google Drive storage for 2 years- Is great with the ASUS Stylus ZASUS Z Stylus for ZenPad (Z580CA; Z300C/CG/CL; Z500M)- The tablet comes also with a stand hold (in the picture)- The speakers are very good for a tablet. Very loud, clear sound- The price. It is an incredible tablet with unbelievable priceCONS- Not many things to tell here. It would be nice if it came with a stylus. The stylus costs additional $29.99 and it requires an AAAA battery to function. I'll update this review over time when I notice something additional.I bought a case MoKo ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 Case, Ultra Compact Slim Lightweight Smart Shell Triple Folding Stand Cover Case with Auto Wake / Sleep for 9.7" ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 Z500M Andriod Tablet 2016 Release, Black for $8.99. It fits perfectly and looks good.VS iPad Pro 9.7Unlike iPad Pro, this does not have an 4G option, but it lots of advantages over an iPad. ASUS Zenpad Z500M has a 64 GB memory in base model (vs 32 GB of iPad). 4 GB ram with ASUS vs 2 GB on iPad Pro. Having exactly the same screen size and ratio as iPad, this tablet is a bit narrower than iPad and a tiny bit lighter. The screen resolution is the same as that of iPad (264 ppi) and at the same time you can expend the storage with ASUS reaching up to 320 GB, while with iPad you are stuck with what you get. iPad Pro has better camera and speakers. The speakers on the ASUS tablet are very very good and loud though. The camera is still quite good, but just not like on iPad Pro. Also iPad Pro has a 4G option, this tablet does not provide 4G connectivity. Battery life is more or less the same for both tablets, although ASUS charges crazy fast. Last but not least - the price !!! ASUS made a great job here. iPad Pro costs $599 + $99 for the pencil and you are stuck with the 32 GB storage it comes with.With ASUS Zenpad Z500M you get premium quality tablet for the half price. Stylus is an additional $29.99, and you have a great tablet for less than $329. You also get 100 GB free Google Drive storage for 2 years and expandable storage via micro SD card.

    I have a DJI Phantom 4 Pro quadcopter. I had been using my Nexus 7 for connecting to the controller and viewing FPV images from the aircraft. I didn't think anything compared to my Nexus 7, which was, originally, made by ASUS. I needed a bigger viewing screen but didn't want to sacrifice the Nexus 7's amazing resolution. I read reviews for the new ASUS Zenpad 3S 10 and was impressed. I watched several Youtube reviews on the new ASUS Zenpad and, overall, it was an excellent Android tablet. Comparing the features of the 3S 10 to an iPad Air 2, it is very similar, in dimensions and capabilities. I was afraid the resolution would not be up to the high standards of the Nexus 7. At $299USD, it was a very good price, compared to the price of the iPad 2 Air. It does not offer LTE service but I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge that I can connect to the Zenpad 3S 10 via Bluetooth, to give me real time access to Google Maps, for the DJI Go 4 app for the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Upon opening the package, I was skeptical but would give it a shot. Upon booting up the Zenpad, I was not very impressed with the graphics. The startup process was flawless, using my Google account, at transferring all my apps and settings. As soon as I was able to view small font types, I knew this was a winner. The resolution is comparable to the Nexus 7, with a bigger screen. It is lightning fast with scrolling through pages of browser images and running apps. With the Nexus 7, using the DJI Go 4 app, I was getting pixelation as the screen tried to keep up with what my DJI 4 Pro was transmitting. With the Zenpad 3S 10, it is flawless; no pixelation with real-time 4K video processing. There is extensive glare, outdoors, and I will have to find a solution for blocking ambient light but that is minor. During my process of setting up the 3S 10, I received notice of a system upgrade. It did not appear to be anything related to an Android update but the Android robot appeared, stating it was upgrading the Android operating system. The ASUS EMUI layer probably prevents you knowing what it is actually upgrading. The upgrade was flawless and quick. I do not like the ASUS homepage clutter but is easily bypassed by simply swiping right and getting a "clean screen". The tablet, compared to the Nexus 7, is huge. Holding it with one hand and using the other to navigate is almost unsteady. Fingerprints and traces are very noticeable, given the glare of the screen. They were easily removed with an optical grade cloth. Overall, if you are an Android fan but wish your device had Apple-like qualities, you will not be disappointed by the screen, brightness, or resolution. It is not on par with the iPad Pro but who wants to spend $700 for an iPad Pro? I wish the speakers were not on one, narrow, side of the tablet. Since I use it in landscape orientation, the sond only comes from one side, which is somewhat annoying. I wish ASUS had put a speaker at each narrow end of the tablet. Bottom line: it is an excellent choice for an Android user wanting a comparable product to an Apple iPad Air 2. I have no idea what version of Android it is using but know that upgrades, from ASUS, do occur. I have not explored all the capabilities of the 3S 10, but I'm sure they will all be a positive experience. I feel this is ASUS's revenge to Google dropping them from making the newer Google tablets. It is not on par with the Google Pixel but, Like the iPad Pro, who wants to pay $700 for a tablet? I won't give up my Nexus 7 but it may be upstaged by the 3S 10!

    After using the tablet for a few days now, I find it just about everything as advertised! The screen is absolutely gorgeous, and this is coming for a person that also has a Samsung galaxy Tab S , that to me had the most amazing screen ever!! I love the speedy multitasking that this tablet can do, and the abundant amount of storage (64 GB along with the added ability to use an SD card!) Movies and anything recorded in Hi Def just cant be beat!Games run snappy and fast with no dropped frames from any of the games I have played! The audio with the DTS is great also with a good set of either wired or bluetooth headphones! I saw some reviews complaining that the camera on this were really crap! But I don't use it to take video or photos, so that isn't a deal breaker for me personally. I have however used the front facing camera for video chats in Skype and Hangouts, and everyone says the video is very defined and crystal clear! If there is one reason for me giving it 4 stars rather than 5, it would be battery life! The battery life on this thing could be better...I have it set up to not boot up memory hungry apps that run in the background, have disabled some of the Zen apps that i have no use for, but still find the battery draining quickly! Other then the abysmal battery life, this tablet is a definite BUY, especially at the price!

    UPDATE: Okay using this thing a bit more now, and I find the battery life getting better...Possibly the battery needed a little conditioning, I don't know , as I have heard of that happening. Either that or you know when you first get a device you tend to put it through the paces and maybe I was just using it more! That being said, that when I use it as I would normally use it, I find that the battery life is really not all that bad at all, and seems to be very acceptable..so I am giving it the 5 stars which I think it deserves...Great tablet, great performance, and great bang for the buck!!

    I only received the tablet yesterday, so I cannot testify to it's longevity, however, it was very responsive and seems to have reasonable battery life. Within 6 hours it had upgraded the software to Google 7.0 and transferred all my apps etc.It does remind me of an Apple iPad. Graphics are good and the screen resolution is excellent. Speakers are loud, and the unit is light in the hand.
    One aspect I did not understand was the wild swings in price of this product, over just a few days. I managed to buy it at an excellent price in Canada, and the next day the price rose 30% . I can only conclude that demand for this high quality tablet is rising fast. So far so good, I am a happy consumer.

    The tablet is great. It's very fast and the screen image quality is amazing at 2k. Sound is clear and loud.

    The delivery of the package is another thing. Delivery guy left in on my front porch in view of the entire street. He made no attempt to see if anyone was home. Left it and walked away and it's all on security video. If a signature is required then whats the point. Amazon you need to review your delivery service in Toronto Ontario. If you order fast delivery you get poor service.
