The ASUS ZenPad™ Z10 tablet: exclusively on Verizon and powered by LTE Advanced

NEW YORK and FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ASUS and Verizon today announced the exclusive availability of the LTE Advanced-enabled ASUS ZenPad Z10 tablet, with a stunning 9.7" 2K display and premium metal design. You can pick one up beginning today at Verizon at https://www.verizonwireless.com/tablets/asus-zenpad-z10/ or in Verizon stores beginning October 13.

With Verizon LTE Advanced, you can get the most out of your new ASUS ZenPad Z10 on the next gen network. Available more than 450 cities from coast to coast, Verizon LTE Advanced gives you 50% faster peak wireless data speeds and is available in many less-served places including highways, interstates, country roads and rural America.

It's in the DNA

The ASUS ZenPad Z10 shares some DNA with the recently released Verizon-exclusive ZenPad Z8, featuring a speedy and efficient Qualcomm® Snapdragon 650 hexa-core 64-bit processor that delivers a fluid and responsive software experience. The ZenPad Z10 employs 3GB RAM to enable even more multitasking, remaining responsive even for power users. The included Adreno™ 510 GPU enables rich multimedia and gaming experiences, effortlessly driving the vibrant and life-like 9.7" 2K display (2048x1536). The built-in ASUS VisualMaster technology further optimizes contrast, sharpness, and motion clarity depending on the situation, automatically choosing the best settings for movie, gaming, and outdoor scenarios. The ASUS ZenPad Z10 also features top-end audio, with dual stereo speakers and DTS-HD support to enable a premium surround sound experience when listening with headphones.

"ASUS is excited to launch the ZenPad Z10, further expanding our relationship and product offerings with Verizon. The ASUS ZenPad Z10 brings a premium and powerful tablet experience at a great price," says Benson Lin, corporate vice president and general manager for mobile communications, ASUS. "We look forward to continuing to offer great products on Verizon's expansive 4G LTE network."

The ASUS ZenPad Z10 features a premium metal unibody design and the latest connectivity. A USB Type-C port means that there is no wrong direction to connect the cable and a micro SD slot means that expanding the device's internal 32GB storage by up to 128GB is fast and easy (card sold separately). Support for Verizon's 4G LTE network, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth makes for a seamless network experience with a wide range of supported peripherals.

All networks are not alike

Verizon provides the best customer experience, built on the nation's most award-winning network.  Because the ASUS ZenPad Z10 runs on Verizon, you can make the most out of your tablet with Verizon's super-fast network. You can get LTE Advanced in more than 450 cities at no additional cost, adding even greater value. When not in those cities, you'll still get the Verizon 4G LTE advantage.
