14 DAY TRIAL // The ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 has been launched back in 2013, offering customers one of the most decent budget tablets available today, marketed at a super affordable $149 / €106 price. But since last year, nothing has been heard of a possible refresh regarding this tablet.
Now it appears the Taiwanese manufacturer is gearing up to launch a cheaper version of the tablet mentioned above. In the Bluetooth SIG database, a new ASUS tablet model was spotted going by the name MeMO Pad 7 (K017). The filing reveals a few details about the upcoming product.
The K017 is going to arrive with a 7-inch display and a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution and will draw power from an Intel Atom Z2520 processor with a clock speed at 1.2GHz.
For the time being, that’s all I can tell you about the new tablet, but one can further speculate the slate is fitted with 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and a microSD card reader. Most certainly, the new MeMO Pad will run Android out of the box.
By the looks of it, the new ASUS tablet could turn out to be a cheaper version of the MeMO Pad HD introduced in 2013. The product is expected to retail for €99 / $138 and if that turns out to be the case, the tablet would be one of the cheapest Intel-powered Android slates available on the market today.
