Asus Fonepad Note FHD 6

One of the biggest smash hits of this year's Computex fair was Asus' phablet, the Fonepad Note FHD 6, which I recently had the opportunity of trying at the Asus headquarters in Hong Kong.

Asus Fonepad Note FHD 6When it comes to its appearance, the Fonepad Note FHD 6 is reminiscent of Samsung's Galaxy Note II, however, of course, it is significantly bigger with its 6-inch display. It is this dominating screen that can be credited for the good impression Fonepad Note FHD 6 leaves at first glance, given that this is a Super IPS+ LCD display with Full HD resolution, resulting in great pixel density: 367 ppi. Regardless of the viewing angle, the imaging always looked exceptionally sharp with precisely saturated colors and a great level of contrast, though the screen's brightness was lacking.

The device comes with a stylus (Asus has not made it clear which type it is), however, once again, it is almost identical to the S Pen offered by Samsung with its flagship phablet. Still, the greatest peculiarity of the Asus offering is that it comes with a dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 running a 1.6 GHz clock, securing above average performance, but not economic enough or optimized for Android OS 4.2 as offered by Qualcomm and Samsung's processors. Due to the usage of the Intel hardware, this phablet does not support LTE, but HSPA+ radio is here as a "compromise", offering speeds up to 42 Mbps in downlink.

The final impression after trying Asus' unusual copy of the Galaxy Note II is that this is not a precisely planned product that still offers plenty of room for improvement, even though many will find it interesting and it might still take Asus into the big leagues of mobile devices.

LG Optimus G Pro

LG's best mobile device, the Optimus G Pro, was initially revealed at MWC in Barcelona this year and was presented at special events later on in New York, London, and several other cities, which helped spread interest. And after a few months of being on the market, it seems fair to conclude that this is the most successful phablet on the market behind Samsung's Galaxy Note II. We wrote a review of this device in great detail, so here is just a brief summary of the Optimus G Pro's pros and cons.

The biggest deal-makers of this mini-phablet are its exquisite display and great performance. The 5.5-inch Full HD IPS Plus LCD screen with a pixel density of 401 ppi offers unprecedented imaging sharpness, exceptional dynamic range and color vivacity, and imaging sharpness. With 2 GB of RAM, the quad-core Snapdragon 600 offers multitask options that have not yet been implemented on any other mobile device in the world, and the quality of photographs taken by the 13-megapixel back-facing camera are praiseworthy.

What I did not like, however, is its highly unimaginative design, contrast sustainability while being exposed to direct sunlight, and poor video recording quality.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I had the opportunity of testing what is convincingly the most beautiful phablet after its premiere last month in London. The 6.4-inch Sony Xperia Z Ultra, a device that is almost identical to the 5-inch smartphone Xperia Z, is exceptionally elegant (it is just 6.5 mm thick) and features impressive artisanship. It weighs only 212 grams despite its front and cover being made out of glass and, just like Sony's flagship smartphone and tablet models, the company's phablet is waterproof, which gives it a significant advantage over the competition.

Sony Xperia Z UltraThe resolution of the 6.4-inch screen is 1080 x 1920 pixels, resulting in an exceptionally great pixel density of 344 ppi. Imaging on the display is therefore splendidly sharp and individual pixels cannot be recognized by the naked eye, even while looped straight lines are being animated, which is an impressive achievement for such a big screen. Still, I did not care for the contrast. Just like with Xperia Z and Xperia Tablet Z, black tones could be darker and white tones could be brighter, which would make other colors appear more realistic.

Compared to the smartphone and the tablet, the viewing angle of the Xperia Z Ultra is significantly better and contrast sustainability cannot be objected to, such as it is. It is evident that Sony is progressing where display craftsmanship quality is concerned. That said, even though one can sense that the phablet is a newer device than the smartphone and the tablet, there is still room for catching up with the competition.

This is the first Snapdragon 800 device I have had the opportunity of trying in my hand. This chipset comes with four Krait 400 cores running a 2.2 GHz clock with Adreno 330 graphics and 3 GB of RAM with LTE support. As such, the phablet's features are above average in terms of speed and lag cannot be felt even while performing the most demanding tasks. It would have been great, though, if Sony had managed to include a battery in such a device that had a greater capacity than 2050 mAh.

The idea of combining a smartphone with a tablet isn't a new one (see: the Asus FonePad), but it's also a product that hasn't been attempted a number of times.

There's a reason for that.

It simply isn't practical. Most people aren't so desperate to consolidate their mobile devices that they're willing to hold a (at least) 7-inch slab against the sides of their heads when they make a phone call. Regardless, Huawei has taken another swing at the smartphone/tablet with its recent MediaPad 7 Vogue (priced at $300), but unfortunately its whacky concept isn't the device's only flaw.

Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue EarpieceBuild and Design

The Vogue's design just might be its greatest strength (though everything is relative here). It's not super sleek and sexy, but it's also not ugly; the silver and white mix of colors on the device's back is easy enough on the eye. And while it's a little on the heavy side for a 7-inch tablet at 335 grams, it's not overwhelming. If anything, the weight is simply a byproduct of solid construction.

Measuring 9.5mm thick, the Vogue is actually a little thinner than, say, the Google Nexus 7, which is 10.45 mm thick, so it's definitely not too clunky. In fact, the device is generally comfortable to hold (just not against your face), even one-handed, and the buttons are nice and chunky and stick out far enough for easy pressing. That was more than I could say about the annoying low-profile controls of the Nexus 7, which were flush with the curved side of the device and were not raised enough to be pushed comfortably.

The only downside to the design of the Vogue is the bezel, which is so thick that it borders on goofy. A slimmer bezel -- which, in turn, would have allowed for a slightly more compact bezel -- would have given the device a more premium look.

Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue BottomDisplay

The display on the Vogue is just plain bad, no two ways about it. The 7-inch, 1024 x 600 display lacks sharpness to the point that it looks almost looks like it's out of focus at times. It's also not terribly difficult to see individual pixels on the screen, even when it's not all that close to your face. The brightness isn't awful, but even when it's cranked up to its maximum, it's unlikely to impress.

Above all though, the biggest issue with the display is its color saturation, or lack thereof. Colors look painfully bland, so much so that they look washed out. I was shocked, for example, to see how noticeably different Temple Run 2 looked on the Vogue compared to how it looked on the Samsung Galaxy S IV's Super AMOLED display; it was almost like the colors on the Vogue had been filled in with weak pastels or watercolors, they looked so faded.

It also doesn't help that the screen sensitivity is sorely lacking. It typically took me at least three or four taps on an application link on the home screen before one of them finally registered.

Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue Card Slots and ButtonsOther Buttons & Ports

Aside from the earpiece located at the very top of the device above the display, button and port location on the Vogue is pretty much what you would expect. The power button and volume rocker adorn the upper right edge, while a single cover conceals the SIM and microSD card ports on the lower right. That just leaves the micro USB charging port and 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom, and a small rear-firing speaker on the back located directly below the device's 3.1-megapixel camera.
Performance

Despite the fact that the Vogue is equipped with a quad-core processor, it only has a 1.2 GHz clock and 1 GB of RAM, and the weaker specs really show. Lag abounds when running even moderately intensive tasks or apps; even framerates for something as simple as Fruit Ninja were painfully low. Load times are brutal as well, with the same app being launched at the same time on a Galaxy S IV loading noticeably faster than on the Vogue.

To paint a clearer picture of just how much the Vogue's performance lags behind that of the competition, I ran Quadrant to get a benchmark. The number was so low (4,068) that the Vogue ranked well below the HTC One X (nearly 4,750), a smartphone that was released over a year ago and the North American version of which runs on a dual-core processor. Needless to say, this thing is slow.

And finally, there's the rather frustrating fact that the Vogue only comes equipped with 8 GB of onboard storage. In the Vogue's defense, it is equipped with a microSD card slot so expansion is an option, but it's an unfortunately low spec nonetheless. It's especially problematic given that, out of the box, the usable total after the OS and preloaded software are accounted for is only around 6 GB of space.

Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue FrontSoftware

Huawei deserves credit for not weighing down the Vogue with an excessive amount of preloaded software. Aside from the requisite suite of Google apps, the device comes out of the box loaded only with a single widget on the home screen, a few basic apps (email, browser, media options, calculator, calendar, etc.), and a couple of more unique (but equally useful) pieces of software.

Some of these include an app installer for sideloading apps of the microSD card, cloud services, voice-enabled features (phone dialing, search), video editing software, and DLNA. The only thing I could have done without was Huawei's HiSpace app store front. I always find these to be useless, and Huawei's is especially bad given that most of the apps are native tablet apps and either don't work properly or fail to resize correctly. Stick to the Google Play Store which, thankfully, the Vogue does have access to.

Camera

As one would expect from a 3.1-megapixel camera on a device that places virtually no emphasis on its imaging capabilities, the camera on the Vogue is pretty much useless. Users shouldn't plan on taking even remotely important pictures with this device, as they will be completely lacking in sharpness. White balance and colors aren't offensively poor, but users can forget about taking any shots in anything other than the brightest-lit environments. Graininess and noise abounds in low-light scenarios.

Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue CameraOne other issue with the camera was the software, which had a funny quirk where it would appear to have taken a picture, only to continue processing it for a second or two after sliding the image away as if it were finished. If the Vogue was moved at all while it was still processing, it would result in a blurry/ruined photo. Aside from the fact that it takes getting used to holding the camera still even after it's apparently finished taking the picture, it simply processes pictures too slowly (or perhaps it's a shutter speed issue) to be considered acceptable.

There's also a front-facing VGA camera, but obviously that's only meant for video chatting and little else.

Battery Life

Like the device's decent build, the battery life of the Vogue is one of the few things it has going in its favor. Granted, a big part of that likely has to do with the relatively dim, low-res screen and only 3G connectivity; if it was 4G LTE, the drain would be a little harsher. Nevertheless, the Vogue could last for a week in standby, or a healthy three or four days based on how heavily it was used. Given that I always had it connected to some sort of network (typically Wi-Fi), kept the dismal screen on maximum brightness (for obvious reasons) and kept as many battery-draining features on as possible, like email push, I found the results to be impressive.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 (and 5.8)

Just a few days after presenting the Galaxy S4, Samsung revealed two phablets that are reminiscent of its flagship smartphone when it comes to appearance, but are intended for less demanding users when it comes to hardware. I am, of course, referring to the 6.3-inch and 5.8-inch Galaxy Mega models, which have different display resolutions, processors and dimensions. I tested them both with Samsung's European representatives, and the bigger 6.3-inch model made a better impression.

This bigger and more powerful Galaxy Mega does not really offer many differences compared to Samsung's 7-inch Galaxy Tabs (the difference in size is almost insignificant) and many will surely see it more as a tablet than a cheaper (and bigger) alternative for the phablet godfather, Samsung's Galaxy Note II. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 has no S Pen, but it still has the option of making phone calls. However, what is most impressive about it is its elegance and small mass: it is only 8 mm thick and weighs 199 grams, which is an outstanding accomplishment for a device of such size. Thus, despite its size, holding Galaxy Mega 6.3 in hand for a long time is not a problem, even for hours, while the luxury provided by the HD SC-LCD screen will please any purchaser as it offers a pleasant 233 ppi pixel density.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and 5.8Still, compared to Super AMOLED screens, which Samsung includes in its most powerful smartphones and phablets, the difference in display sustainability, sharpness, brightness, and color saturation is evident. The screen provides quite a lot of comfort while working with it, but those who have tried better models will feel a bit let down. With the speed of a dual-core Snapdragon 400 with Krait cores running a 1.7 GHz clock and Android OS 4..2.2 (Jelly Bean), 1.5 GB of RAM, and a battery of 3200 mAh, the device offers exceptionally good performance and no real objections can be made.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is, on the other hand, a much weaker device. It has a smaller screen size, but it's thicker (9 mm) and just slightly heavier (182 grams). It has a dual-core processor running a 1.5 GHz clock, 1.5 GB of RAM as well, but its screen has 'just' 540 x 960 pixels of resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 190 ppi. In practice, these differences, especially those regarding the display, are evident at first glance, making this a phablet for less demanding users.
