Asus PadFone – tablet or phone? (video)

  Today the Asus company presented at the Mobile World Congress 2012 its new PadPhone, a product that combines the idea of ​​a smartphone with that of a tablet. Basically, we are talking about an Android smartphone that can be transformed into a tablet by inserting it into a kind of dock equipped with a 10.1-inch screen that takes over the functionality of the phone screen. The smartphone has a 4.3 inch qHD Super AMOLED screen, has a dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera, LTE connectivity and of course Ice Cream Sandwich.

  The dock itself takes over all the functionality of the smartphone when it is inserted into its slot, but more than that, it also charges it, offering a battery autonomy almost 9 times greater than normal. Moreover, for him there is a stylus that can be used as a headset when you receive calls. The idea of ​​those from Asus is complicated, although in theory it seems to be very good, PadFone being essentially a 2 in 1, i.e. a product dedicated to those who want both a smartphone and a tablet but don't know which one to choose.

  The idea of ​​the Asus company is good, but Motorola brought it to the world's attention through the Atrix 4G series, which was not really that popular.

  1. Very cool, I for one would prefer something like this to having 2... of course it's also about the fact that it's cheaper, plus you don't have to install on 2 devices anymore

    How would it be now to have changed only the retina display dock and not the entire tablet? that the hardware part is very ok with ipad2/iphone4s... just that if apple did something like that it would lose a lot of money...
