Asus insists on a unique form factor and releases PadFone2
A month and a half ago, a unique Asus PadFone transformer officially went on sale. This is such a smartphone, inserting into the tablet, which, in turn, is attached to the keyboard. And the processor, flash and RAM are only in the smartphone. That is, the smartphone is like the heart of this combine, the tablet carries only a larger display and an additional battery, and the keyboard, in turn, is also an additional battery and the keyboard itself. I hope that I will have to test all the nuances of using such an aggregate during the testing process of Asus PadFone, which I will definitely report on. In the meantime, I offer a quick look at the Asus PadFone2.
The main thing is that the difference between PadFone2 and simple PadFone is that the device has lost its hard keyboard. The smartphone itself received a larger diagonal display: 4.7 instead of 4.3. Display resolution also increased and amounted to 720r. The display is made by Sharp technology Super-IPS + and covered with protective glass Corning Fit, - the same as that used in the tablet Google Nexus 7 . The heart of the smartphone was a 4-core Qualcomm APQ8064 SoC processor. RAM was already 2 GB. As for the flash memory, then there will be the standard three options: 16, 32 and 64 GB. But every PadFone 2 customer will receive 50 GB of free space in the ASUS WebStorage storage for two years. The device will work out of the box on Android ICS, although the update to Jelly Bean is promised in the near future.

Interestingly new device and built-in camera using a 13-megapixel BSI f / 2.4 sensor from Sony. The camera can shoot Full HD video at a speed of 30 frames per second, and when shooting normal HD, shooting at 60 fps is possible. In addition, 100 continuous photographs are available. In short, the camera, at least according to the description, looks very attractive.
The smartphone received a battery with a capacity of 2140 mAh, while the battery capacity in the tablet decreased from 6600 mAh to 5000 mAh. The smartphone weighs 135 grams, and the tablet is 514 grams., Total: 649 grams. instead of the current 854 grams (130 + 724).
The exact date of receipt of the device on sale is not yet known. Will this form factor, offering a unique experience of interaction between a smartphone and a tablet, take root on the second attempt?
