Intel-based phablet on the way from Asus
Asus, the maker of Google’s Nexus 7, will debut a 7-inch Fonepad at Mobile World Congress later this month, according to sources familiar with the product.
Reports say the Fonepad may be priced in the same ballpark as — or slightly higher than — theNexus 7 but below the MeMO Pad, which Asus launched Friday in Asia.
Leaked photos show it with an aluminum body and an Intel badge on the back.
An independent source familiar with the product has confirmed the Fonepad with CNET.
Widely-reported specifications include an Intel Atom processor with Imagination PowerVR SGX540 graphics, a 1,280×800 IPS touch screen, 1GB of RAM, storage ranging up to 32GB, and a front-facing 1.2-megapixel camera.
