Rotation, rotation
The FonePad ships with Android 4.1.2. This means when you rotate the tablet, the scree (and all its icons) rotates with it.

Secret
The microSD and SIM card secret compartment. Difficult to open if your hands are at all slippery.

Splendid!
The Asus Splendid app provides the deepest level of screen customization I've yet seen on a tablet.

Silly
Off-camera, hundreds are pointing and laughing. I'm doing my best to hide my tears.

The difference
The FonePad compared to the 5.5-inch LG Optimus G Pro. Quite the size difference.
