Asus did not release an official battery capacity figure for the ZenPad S 8.0 – but the 3DMark app says it is 4000 mAh which seems accurate given the performance I experienced.
In everyday terms, I think you would be fortunate to last 2 full days with the ZenPad S 8.0. I found that using social media intermittently, watching videos and running our benchmarks drained the tablet faster than I would have liked. For instance, a 90-minute HD video drained the ZenPad's battery by 26%, meaning it can play roughly 5-and-a-half hours of HD video from a single charge. This is not huge, so do not expect to be using the tablet for several days before it will need recharging.
The Geekbench 3 battery benchmark only confirmed this. The ZenPad S 8.0 lasted 6:25, well below the time posted by the Vodafone Tab Prime 6. Clearly, the 4000 mAh battery is just not enough for the high resolution display.
Where is the review? This is just the specs, and a video in which you list the specs again.
How does it feel, build quality. Is it powerful / laggy / normal, performance. Is the screen IPS or regular. Sound quality from speakers. Camera examples. Ports and expansion.
Give us the pros and cons
Then round it off with a bit about how the overall adds up to a device you love/hate.
why is nobody testing the z stylus? ugh
I was back in the market for shopping for a tablet as the one I just recently bought into (Lenovo) decided it needed a broken LCD by barely applying pressure to the screen (it was in my cargo pocket, screen facing my leg….and I leaned forward and it applied enough pressure to crack the glass and turn the LCD into all sorts of colors). So after TONS of research and reviews (ie, http://pocinc.net/blog/product-reviews/review-asus-zenpad-s-8-0-tablet ), I decided to give this one (ASUS) a chance. So far I love it. The screen looks nicer (they claim it is 2K resolution, but it doesn’t look much better than any other awesome tablet…it just simply looks awesome lol but not 4K like the TVs). It’s faster than my other one, has more space than it + has a card slot for more space and hasn’t given me any troubles yet. Just needs better battery life that’s all. It’s enough to last you all day, but if you let it sit around not using it, it dies within a few days usually. Sometimes though it seems to last much longer. Really odd…
