Asus Zenpad 3S 10 Z500KL - User Reviews

  • which is better between z500kl vs z500m

  • Hi r u still looking to buy this tablet?

  • There is OTG, I have it and I'm using flashdrive (with dongle)

  • My best favorite tablet , now $150 , but inaccessible for unknown reasons.But I don't understand irrelevant use of hybrid in an ascending tablet and lack of otg and radio +rds.Nevertheless excellent for the Price range and better incomplete ultra expensive rival tablets!! Thanks gsmArena for releasing facts unbiasedly....+Asus constant upgrades of previous smartphones.,,,Justice Rights.

  • Fingerprint reader? Would be nice. Calling function. I'd take it. Apart from that this tab amazes me.

  • It also supports the active pen Z-Stylus from ASUS

  • Lenovo yoga book or Asus zenpad 3s 10 ?? Watching videos ,browsing and some gaming .

  • Poor wifi ,No backlight, no vibrate and led notification. No phone call and dialer (for mmi codes) , poor back camera. Good display ,audio and battery Moderate performance

  • probably one of the wise comment on this page..ever

  • how come no phone call since it mentioned with GSM ?

  • Does it allow to set up multiple user accounts and switch between them? so that each account may have own facebook/instagram/settings etc?

  • Bought this tablet, but the main thing that i was not expected was not having dial pad! Granted, it can not make calls, but there should be a dial pad to use USSD codes. Are you expriencing same problem?

  • i brought this because it looked like it has the best price to value ratio. it was a mistake. it cannot make phone calls and also have e bluetooth that cannot connet to my car blouetooth so i cam play music from it. the rest seems ok but the two drawbaks i mentioned are very important for me. keep this in mind for the future aquisitions of this tablet.

  • Definitely asus zenpad 3s 10

  • Hi bought this LTE version told by supplier it had a phone dialer it doesn't but decided to keep it as well made

  • Z500KL or Yoga 3 Plus?

  • Did you but the WIFI only version. If so than "WIFI only" os the obviously. It will be very sad if Asus remover calling from the two LTE version.......

  • Where can you buy this tablet? I can't seem to find it on sale anywhere

  • Snapdragon 650 what ??

  • Good idea,thanks. Now i buy Asus Zenpad 3s 10. No time .

  • The only reason I will buy this . is not for anything else but for my ebook collection. It is still great to read from a tablet becuase it gives you the" book size feeling". And I do not mind the tablet to come with a couple of features as well...

  • ,you can.read the description from the very first sentence

  • cant make call.............

  • Don't they have two version, one wifi only and the other is with Sim card. I saw they have two sim card slot. So, the one with sim card should be able to make call.

  • You cannot make calls from this zenpad.

  • Dearest the wise.Thanks for what you had in your heart and bravely disclosed them.I wish you the best however we live in the VR world very far from each other....

  • How to make a call using this tab..i bought one..or must download another apps for call in/out?..someone please reply if know it

  • As society very conveniantly pushes these 'smart'stuff in our hands, and we are the morons to write about our lives, show off with pictures, etc.... Then i would like a job at NSA, as it must be the easiest job in the world. no more searching, i mean real 'detective' work, we ourselves made our global database and we ourselves are the only morons to blame for it. i dont use fb and any social media, i keep private, aside from my IP they can keep track of my words. But this is no excuse, we need it for many daily things that make life just lazy easy. Soon they will eliminate cash money, at least its what their heading to. and im no dreamer with just a few big words, i lived n thailand for 5 years, where life cost you half, and life gives you twice more as these western places with only lines to walk, rules to follow, and live life through television!!! keep networking to a minimal, but for me as a daytrader, i cant hide anything, everything by the book. and the world will change, nothing you can do. when i returned and wanted a car, i payed with 20.000euro cash, DENIED, neded a stupid peace of paper from the bank. 'for our safety', no fuckers to invade our privacy. in thailand its only cash, people live free, and veeeeery goooood. if you got the money, no kids or family, just leave!!!! and ps. this is no place for these conversations. i dont even know why i reply this guy, probably unwise

  • I am in the US on Verizon. I don't know if LTE will work for me or not but it doesn't matter because I cannot find this tablet for sale anywhere. Even the ASUS site doesn't sell it.

  • Hi. On ASUS site (and a third party device spec site), they say 1 nano-SIM only (two on one tray for the SIM and the SD card). I was disappointed too, I need a 2 SIM version. Rgrds.

  • Is this available in Indian market ?

  • My dearest brother.I have to add that this is a tablet and usually nobody carries a 9.7 inches tablet for GSM calling sending receiving purposes when Asus has better option offer suggestions!!!Nevertheless it is one of the best Asus GSM tablet made up to now for $430 price and highest midrange qualities!Thanks everyone everywhere+all quality maker brands+Asus....

  • Yes , i bye this one 2 days ago, but i dont find any slote or any information about sim number two, your data is not correct.tanx

  • Please note that this device Asus Zenpad 3S 10 Z500KL does not support dual sim card. It supports only 1 sim card and 1 SD card. This info is from Asus customer service.

  • I would be perfect if Asus reduce the the size to 6.0 inch or 6.4inch.. The battery and the screen PPI almost perfect.. I rather change my Asus zenfone 3 deluxe (ZS570KL) if the screen size reduced to 6.0 inch

  • Z500m/kl

  • Get the zenpad 3s z500m

  • Dearest knowhow knowledge sharing enthusiasts.I just have a question.I want to put it in my Grand Virtual Dream Museum for the futurists!!I don't want to buy and sell anything which is not my custom!!But as long as my fonepad doesn't have any updates and upgrades anymore and because of my fact-writing,my device is under constant malware virus spyware,...attacks of lawbreaking Mafia,it there possibility of exchange it with this Zenpad 3S 10 Z500kl!!!?I welcome suggestions from Asus the grandgiant,eBay,Google,Samsung...everyone everywhere in the world!My under constant attacks fonepad works with IntelAtom!!I have to add that all my device working apps are under the controls of spammers,phishers,...Mafia which even prevent writing comments for all of you in gsmArena!!I have to mention that I work for no brands and I am not against any brands either!Just I share my multidimensional vast knowledge because of following my moral guidelines without any expectations at all.Thanks gsmArena to publish and release the fact-writing on moral guidelines guidance!Google the king knows my address very well and my records exist in many scientific sites.Thanks all.Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.knows well and doesn't accept anything without paying!!!

  • -i had an ipad air, verrrrry reliable but after 3 years i think its time to put him to sleep :) -So i had a huawei M3 in mind, but screen tooo small, and wt.f... usb v.2 ?!! -ipad pro looks nice and good size for a tablet, as i use it mostly to check on my stocks...but apple forgot after all those years to innovate, theyr stuff looks identical to their first ipad, aside some minor details, which gets boring... its like spending a 1000$ for allmost no change aside the size. -so i stumble on these zenpads, size is just acceptable, looks reaaally slik and perfect, the mediatek cpu reminds of bad moments, so not good enough. - zenpad s3 z500kl..... KL , is like a ghost and allmost non excistant, still i saw it on amazon germany for 430euro, a price that wasnt too cheap to be a bad buy hahaha. i know im retarded, thats because i had a BS job with only 250.000$ left after 5 years thailand. Still i do not understand all the critizisme here, on other models they think this is the worst buy ever.... for me the display is oke with its 9.7", im looking on that for years now, the snapdragon is 'just' a 650 so not worth anything aside the 857 types i hear some wise men say haha, so i guess he prefers the mediatek instead...., in short it has all the wistles and bells i need, and i only check the important fundamental things, screen size, pixels, cpu, battery.. btw has qualcomm QC3.0, it doesnt lack of usb C. i ordered me one after 6 hours reading and looking opinions, and for this prize.... thissss prize i cant find any better. i think its a great deal. i have a huawei smartphone thats great, but it doesnt fit my needs for a tablet, its a phablet... thats a pony under horses!!!

  • Hello friends. Between this tablet and Huawei M3 which one should I choose? Thanks.

  • Hello, Are you for sure it doesn't work on tmobile? Live in us and spoke to a us tmobile rep and asus rep in malaysia before purchasing and was told lte 2100 [1] band should be compatible. Did you call tmobile prior to placing your phone SIM card in and have them run a diagnostic on your phone plan & bands? If not , maybe your SIM card was activated to a different band to work just on your cell phone and not the tablet. I'm waiting for mine to come so hopefully I will have a different result.

  • I don't think it will on AT&T If you are in the U.S., good friend these are the bands that AT&T and T Mobile usually use in the U.S. 12(700), 13(700), 17(700) - hope this help....

  • PS. I purchase this tablet from a seller on eBay it was shipped from Malaysia upon inserting my T-Mobile GSM SIM card I realized by looking at the bands on the tablet that you cannot use this tablet with T-Mobile it will register with AT&T by searching it will register Sprint it will also register Verizon but this tablet will not work 100% will not work with T-Mobile totally bummed out sending it back :(

  • Much bigger battery (7800) than the Z500M (5900 mAh) but too expensive for my liking - don't need cellular connectivity. As a result, I can't see buying either one - the battery on the Z500M is a bit small and this one is too expensive for my needs.

  • My dearest goodness.My wish came true!!A price of $425 is written here which maybe belongs to an eBay somewhere which always access denied!!!So I have to find a store somewhere since my Virtual Grand Dream Museum is expecting this high class guest to be welcomed for the futurists!!Thanks Asus the third giant software hardware producer worldwide+unbiased fact-writing fact-following gsmArena everywhere worldwide.Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.welcomes all brands for just moral guideline reasons!

  • at this point this tablet can be purchased from amazon germany.

  • Any one that knows where this tablet could be bought? Link would be appriciated

  • Get mediapad m3, or Sammy smt580....

  • Is asus accept ta google index keyboard app please tell Yme if know any bo

  • Tired of waiting for a new high-specs Samsung tablet. Gonna buy this.

  • My dearest quality seeker enthusiasts.Undoubtedly the best upper midrange class of Asus up to now even the best one with GSM voice communications and LTE with 10 finger touch capabilities !!It must be GSM enabled version of the previous Asus tablet with enough 7800 mAh battery!!(One of the Lenovo tablets with 9600 mAh is the record holder!!)Of course I am merely talking with the specifications written here and respect to GSMArea disclaimer!!Anyway 2017 is a good start for Asus to get rid of low quality products as if Zen 4 is coming soon with the least redundant void useless bezels like S8 pro of samsung with 88.6% of screen to the body ratio which Asus in Zen4 smartdevices may like to compensate Zen3 deficits + no more HD products which highly depends to the social marketing of Asus!!!I have to mention that NFC,IR,USB V.1 +otg or finger print scanner might have been forgotten to be written here that might have been modified!!Nevertheless both GSM version and non-gsm versions have their favorite costumers!!Though Google support is undeniable!!!I myself because of exclusivity using WiFi which is complete in both versions and complete Bluetooth ,I am going to choose the first one for my Virtual Grand Dream Musiem!!!Anyway 2017 is a good year to prove its deserved qualities with good after sales services,constant non-stopped upgrades and updates of is products to find some vacant places on the summits of high ends class,...,The rest belongs to gsmArena unbiased reviews!Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.is waiting!Thanks everyone,....
