Asus launches redesigned FonePad 7 for $137

Asus Philippines has launched a new and improved version of the FonePad 7 tablet. The new version of the slate comes with the model number FE170CG and is said to be significantly lighter and thinner than the original model.

However, the tablet goes down a notch in terms of the screen resolution (from WXGA to WSVGA), internal memory (8 GB to 4 GB) and camera (5 MP to 2 MP). The rest of the hardware remains identical to the original version.

The new Asus FonePad 7 FE170CG is currently available in Philippines and is priced at PHP 5,995 (about $137).
