Asus decided to sell this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 chip, packing an extremely powerful Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 1.5 gigahertz and a big 2 GB of RAM. To handle graphic intensive applications and games, it also has an Adreno 320 GPU speeding at 400 megahertz. An amazing aspect of the Asus Padfone 2 is its 32 GB huge internal memory and although it doesn't have an SD card slot, it it is more than enough to install lots of applications, games, pictures and videos without thinking about how much storage is left.
The Asus Padfone 2 is equipped with two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.2 MP front-facing camera. It is also able to shoot 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second, and slow motion videos in 1280x720 (HD) up to 60 fps. Additionally, the camera features a few useful characteristics: flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus and geo tagging.
This device features a large 2140 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, although you may find yourself looking for a place to charge it if you use it heavily.
This cellphone has Wi-Fi connection (and it can share it with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE fast internet connection and 3G fast connectivity, over HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Asus Padfone 2 works with a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.
This phone also comes with a couple of interesting features like NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
This phone is really overvalued considering it costs $ 249, and many similar phones are a lot cheaper than that.
