At the Computex 2014 event held in Taipei, Asus announced successors to the MeMO Pad 7 and MeMO Pad 8. The Asus MeMO Pad 7 wasn’t much of an update, but the MeMO Pad 8 was updated with a better Full HD display and internal specifications overhaul.

As you can see in the image below, size is a big factor although the screen size differs only an inch.
Both the tablets have relatively small side bezels, while the bezels on top and bottom appear big.
There are no physical navigation keys on both the tablets and you have to use the on-screen buttons.
The front facing camera is located above the display on both the tablets.
The position of back cameras is different on the tablets and there is no flash on either of them.
The positioning of the volume rocker and the power lock button is on the right side of the tablet on both the MeMO Pads.
What do you think about the new Asus tablets? Would you get any of them? Let us know in the comments below.
