Asus Philippines has launched the renewed version FonePad 7, this time a bit thinner and lighter than its previous version. The new version comes with the model number FE170CG.
The tablet has a WSVGA display, 4GB internal memory and 2MP camera which is somewhat inferior than the the previous version which had a WXGA display, 8GB internal memory and a 5MP autofocus camera on its back.

To power the device, a non-removable Li-Po 3950 mAh battery is available in the device.
This redesigned variant of the FonePad 7 has been launched in Philippines for a price of PHP 5995 that translates to $137.
