Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The average battery life of this unit is 7 to 8 hours. If you are using it at 100% brightness, you can get at least 6 to 7 hours. Please be advised that battery life varies by configuration, operating conditions, and other factors. Maximum battery capacity decreases with time and use.

Questioncan u play games/appsI like to play games but haven't bought the tablet? If it does play games what types?
Asked 10 years ago by ShadowWolf.
- Answer I have already installed an mmo that is browser level and the best fps you can run, and they work flawlessly. Lag is almost nonexistent, as the graphics are crisp and very detailed. This tablet can run all game so have run across on Google play, so I recommend you give it a try and return it if you are dissatisfied. Enjoy!

QuestionHow good is the processo and overall performance?I looked up the processor (Intel Atom Z3530), and even though its only 1.33 ghz, it apparantly out performed other higher ghz processors in other high end tablets. But I was curious as to how it performed in this tablet compared to other higher ghz processors. Does it run games and such smoothly etc... Also I was wondering what the AnTuTu benchmarks were and where it ranks compared to tabs such as nexus 7 and the galaxy pro 8.4. Thanks in advance.
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer As it happens, I'm a "tablet junkie" and have all three (Zenpad, Tab Pro, and Nexus 7). Their Antutu scores are all in the same ballpark (32-35k). I don't do a lot of gaming (mostly reading and video), and I'd say all three "feel" about the same.

Questionwificoncerned about no 5ghz wifi. how is the reception on this?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I have an older house with lots of lathe-and-plaster walls, so highly variable wifi signal. The Zenpad is about the middle of the pack as far as wi-fi functionality. Not as good as the LG-G3 phone, but much better than the Nexus 10. About the same as the Nexus 7 (2013) or the Samsung Tab Pro.

QuestionCPU Powerhow powerful is the CPU it says on the tablet that this tablet is a 64bit tablet.Is this true,and how does it compare to the cpu on the Nexus 9 which is also 64 bit(K1 CPU)...thank you
Asked 10 years ago by AsusPat.
- Answer I don't have a Nexus 10, so can't give a first-hand comparison. Depending on how much you believe in benchmarks, the Antutu score on the ZenPad is about 32k vs. about 57k that I've seen reported for the N9. The processor on the ZenPad *is* a 64-bit processor, but that really doesn't matter unless you have software specifically written for it.

QuestionAndroid Marshmallow update?Will this tablet get the Android Marshmallow (6.0) update?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer From what I gather it's not yet clear. Asus has announced what phones will be getting marshmallow, but they didn't include tablets on their list. I'd say then that It's quite possible this will not be receiving marshmallow, but I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

QuestionDo you think the battery life will significanly improve with Android 6.0?I know it hasn't been released yet, but I read somewhere that the Zenpad S8 will receives Android 6.0. And based on what I am reading online, Android 6.0 is the best android OS for battery life(in stand by AND while using the tablet). It seems the average I see people with this tablet is 6-7 hours of medium use with anywhere between 60-100% brightness. Also Asus has fixed some bugs that could affect battery in recent updates etc... I like the specs of the tablet and I need a light tablet as I have bad arms and the Sero 7 pro I have heurts my hands/arms after about 10 minutes(I have nerve issues and carpaltunel). I just am not sure about the battery. The Processor seems stronger than the 1.33ghz specs.
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Unless this will be SOLE device, battery life isn't a big issue. Also, I wouldn't hold out for Marshmallow here - considering its price and all of the competition out there. Still, even without M's "doze" feature, I usually only see 1-2% battery drain even overnight.

QuestionAnyone play Asphalt 8 and/or Modern Combat 5?I have been thinking of buying this tablet. My only concern is the 1.33 ghz processor as I play some games. The most demandinggames I play are asphalt 8 and modern combat 5. They didnt run smoothly on my Sero 7 Pro that broke. I know the Ipad Mini 3 is one of the best tablets and can play almost (if not all) all games, even though it has a 1.3 ghz processor I realize that a Intel processor can be better and faster than a rivil processor of the same ghz. Everything else about the tablet is good.5Ghz wifi is really only usefull if you like to download faster. I just really want to know if they play smooth. Maybe not super smooth, but smooth.
