Asus Pad Design and Key Specifications Leaked: Here's What It Has to Offer

It has been a while since Asus has launched an Android tablet and the ZenPad 8 was the brand's final attempt, way back in 2015. Now, after almost a decade, while Asus has exited the smartphone business, it looks like the brand is planning to revive its Android tablet category with the upcoming Asus Tab.

Asus Tab Design (Leaked)

The folks over at Android Headlines managed to get their hands on a bunch of leaked images of the upcoming Asus Tab. It shows off the tablet in a silver-like colour option, has a minimal metal unibody design and is thin and lightweight at 6.5mm and 523 grams.

At the front, the display will most likely feature thin and symmetrical bezels, with the mid-frame being sightly curved instead of being flat. However, the back side of the Asus Tab will likely be flat with the official ASUS branding at the centre and a single camera and LED flash at the top-left corner.

As for what the Asus Tab will offer the report has revealed a 12.2-inch OLED display with 144 Hz refresh rate. It is said to use a dual stacked layer OLED design like the iPad Pro. This hints at the fact that the upcoming tablet from Asus will not be cheap.

Moreover, it is said to pack a 9,000mAh battery, support fast charging and feature Dolby Atmos-backed stereo speakers. Aside from that, we also get a look at one of the official accessories that is expected to go official alongside the Asus Tab. 

The images show off an origami style folio case which can convert into a kick stand to support the tablet in both horizontal and vertical layout. This is similar to the folio case of the Xiaomi Pad 7 and adds a great deal of versatility to the tablet.

That said, with no official word from Asus yet, take the leaked details with a pinch of salt. It is unclear when the Asus Pad will launch, in which regions and at what price. It the tablet manages to launch in India for under Rs 50,000, it will be a great value especially with its OLED display as no other tablet in the market right now does that.
