Asus Fonepad 7 video ad surfaces ahead of IFA announcement

Asus had introduced the original Fonepad at MWC 2013 earlier this year and the Fonepad saw a slight bump in the specifications sometime during summer. Asus just posted and removed a video ad for the yet another refresh of the Fonepad.

The new Fonepad 7 will be powered by Intel’s processor and will run on Android Jellybean at launch. The video seemed more like a walkthrough of the product than an Ad. As per the new ad, the only new features in the refreshed Fonepad include a front facing dual speakers and an upgrade in the rear camera from 3.2MP to 5MP. The device is expected to be announced at Asus’ IFA event. The video had no details regarding the pricing or availability of the device, but we would expect that information to come out during the event.

Based on previous leaks, the specifications of the Asus Fonepad 7 are expected to be as follows

• 7-inch (1280 x 800) HD LED Backlit IPS display
• 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 processor with 400MHz PowerVR SGX544 GPU
• Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean)
• 5MP rear camera
• 1.2MP HD front-facing camera
• 1GB RAM, 8 GB internal memory, expandable memory up to 64GB via micro SD
• 3G WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS
• Up to 9 hours of battery life

We will bring more details from the event later today, in the mean time check out the leaked video
