Yesterday we finally got to find out the specifications on the new Asus Padfone, which is a hybrid smartphone and tablet device that also comes with a keyboard dock, and now Asus has released a promo video for the device.
The video below shows how the Asus Padfone will work, with the tablet dock and also with the keyboard dock, which looks very similar to the keyboard dock on the Transformer Prime tablet.
Specifications and Features
As a reminder, the Asus Padfone is powered by the smartphone device which comes with a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED qHD display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, and it is powered by a 1.5GHz dual core Snapdragon S4 processor and also has an Adreno 225 GPU. This combination ensures that the device is capable of handling a variety of tasks with ease, from gaming to productivity applications.
Other specifications include an 8 megapixel rear facing camera for photos and video and a front facing VGA camera for video chat, there is also HDMI, GPS, A-GPS and Bluetooth 4.0. The rear camera is equipped with advanced features such as autofocus and LED flash, which help in capturing high-quality images even in low-light conditions. The front-facing VGA camera, while not as powerful, is sufficient for video calls and basic selfies.
The tablet dock features a 10.1-inch display, transforming the smartphone into a full-fledged tablet. This dock also includes an additional battery, which extends the overall battery life of the device significantly. The keyboard dock, on the other hand, provides a physical keyboard for those who prefer typing on a traditional keyboard rather than a touchscreen. This makes the Asus Padfone a versatile device suitable for both casual and professional use.
Innovative Design and Usability
The Asus Padfone’s design is innovative, allowing users to switch seamlessly between smartphone and tablet modes. This hybrid approach is particularly useful for users who need the portability of a smartphone but also want the larger screen of a tablet for tasks such as watching videos, browsing the web, or working on documents. The keyboard dock further enhances usability by providing a laptop-like experience, making it easier to type long emails or documents.
One of the standout features of the Asus Padfone is its ability to share data and settings between the smartphone and tablet modes. This means that users do not have to worry about syncing their data between two separate devices. For instance, if you are working on a document on the smartphone and then switch to the tablet mode, you can continue working on the same document without any interruptions.
Additionally, the Asus Padfone supports a wide range of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G LTE, ensuring that users can stay connected no matter where they are. The device also supports expandable storage via a microSD card slot, allowing users to store more apps, photos, videos, and documents.
We still don’t have a release date or any pricing details on the Asus Padfone as soon as we get some more information we will let you guys know. However, given the specifications and features, it is expected to be competitively priced to attract a wide range of consumers.
