A new Asus tablet has shown up at the FCC and goes by the model P00I. This is a first sighting and remains a mystery at this point.
The timing is curious however. The ZenPad 3 8.0 has not been announced internationally like the ZenPad 3S 10 (Z500M) which was announced in Taiwan during their Zenfone unveiling event. With the Zenfone 3 showing up at the FCC about 8 days ago, we do wonder if a new ZenPad will be unveiled along side the Zenfone 3 during the North America unveiling event. That said, we don’t believe the P001 is destined for such an unveiling.
We do know that the p008 model is associated with the ZenPad 3 8.0 (Z581KL). So the P001 appears to us, to be a new ZenPad Z10 (ZT500KL) which is likely to be a Verizon exclusive just like the ZenPad Z8. So right now, we’re guess this is a 10-inch tablet headed to Verizon.
We do know that Asus was going to launch multiple products at their Zenfone 3 events so they can be more efficient with their marketing expenses. They can use the Zenfone 3 launch events to help market their other new products such as tablets, laptops and 2-in-1 products.
Stay tuned. More news on the P00I coming soon!
