Foxconn is renowned in the world of tech for being the manufacturer behind popular tablets and smartphones, including the iPhone, iPad, Amazon’s Kindle or BlackBerry. But not many know Foxconn awards the Platinum Partner Award each year.

And in 2014 the award goes to Zinox Technologies, the marker of the Zpad tablet, in appreciation of the company’s ingenuity in research and development which is then applied to its digital products (via Nigeriacommunicationsweek).

The Nigerian company says it views its tablet PC solution as a way to solve the deficiency of knowledge in the country. Zinox Technologies hopes the Zpad is going to change the way children are being educated but also that the slate will find a place in the business sector, as well as in the home environment.

The most powerful of the line, the ZPAd v7, has an 11-inch display and comes bundling a 4th-gen Intel Core i3-3217U 1.80GHz processor and Intel vPro complete with 4GB of RAM. The tablet can also be fitted with a slim detachable keyboard.

There’s also a ZPad v6 which only has a dual-core processor inside, which is probably more suited for students and educational needs.
