Asus bakes 1080p into its new 7-inch Memo Pad 7 Android tablet at IFA 2014

Asus is launching a new 7-inch tablet, and its called the Memo Pad 7.

The Asus Memo Pad 7 runs on a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3560 quad-core processor, and wears a 7-inch 1080p IPS display. The front wears a 2-megapixel camera, while a 5-megapixel shooter is perched on the its back panel.

The Memo Pad 7 packs SonicMaster speakers, so it can provide a better listening experience than most 7-inch tablets. Asus will offer versions of the Memo Pad 7 that can connect to the Internet via LTE, or Wi-Fi, though it’s unclear which carriers will be compatible, or whether it will sport 802.11ac or 802.11n connectivity.

Weighing 0.59 pounds and measuring 8.3 mm thin, the Asus Memo Pad 7 puts as much of an effort into its external appearance as it does into its internal prowess. Asus designed the Memo Pad 7 to resemble classy pocketbooks, and the company is offering it with colors like Burgundy Red, Champagne Gold, and Gentle Black to complete the look.

It’s unclear what version of Android the Memo Pad 7 will run, but it will ship with ZenUI interface built in.

Pricing and availability information for the Asus Memo Pad 7 are currently unavailable.

A photo of someone holding the Google Pixel 8a.

The Google Pixel 8a is Google's latest smartphone, and while it's not a match for Google's flagship phones, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, it's not meant to be. The Pixel 8a is a midrange powerhouse, with the Tensor G3 processor, a showstopping camera, and the advanced smarts of Google's Gemini Nano AI model.

But none of that is worth squat if you can't see it. The display is a vital part of any smartphone, and the Pixel 8a's 6.1-inch OLED panel is a beauty. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, and a much higher brightness to boot, making it the equal of some of the best phones you can grab in the midrange market. But all that tech should be protected. Here are the best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors to keep your phone's screen safe from scratches, dirt, and smears.

Apple made an outrageous change to its new iPads

After a year-long drought of iPads, Apple finally revealed the new iPad Air and iPad Pro models during its Let Loose event on May 7. This was a unique announcement because it broke some old traditions; the iPad Air now comes in two sizes: an 11-inch and 13-inch, just like the iPad Pro. But these new iPads are also breaking another longtime tradition: They won’t come with iconic Apple stickers. Gasp.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple Store teams received a memo where Apple explained that the iconic Apple stickers won’t be included inside the boxes of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro. The reasoning? As part of Apple’s environmental goals, it is trying to ensure that its packaging is completely free of plastic.
