The first Asus Fonepad 7 was released in October of 2013 (known as the ME372CL and ME175CG), while the second version came out in May of 2014 (with model numbers FE7010CG and FE170CG). The Fonepad is one of the few tablets that can make phone calls, offering the user a speaker at the top of the tablet and a microphone at the bottom, so that if desired, the Fonepad can be used as primary device. Both versions come with an Intel Atom processor and 1GB of RAM. The 2014 variant actually saw a decrease in screen resolution from its predecessor, going to 1024x600 from 1280x800 to keep costs down for the consumer.
