Asus PadFone is a good quality cellphone launched some years ago, in 2011, having a medium sized 4.3-inches screen, a high performance 1500 MHz Dual-Core processor, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera.
This cellphone isn't very light comparing to other phones , weighting 4.55 ounces. This phone has a beautiful design, with a thickness of just 0.36 inches.
The Asus PadFone has a nice 4.3 inches display with a 960 x 540 resolution, providing this cellphone with a good graphic quality. Its display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.
Asus equipped the Asus PadFone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8260A chip, including a high speed 1500 MHz Dual-Core processor and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little low for a phone of this quality. Graphic intensive apps and games often uses a lot of processing power, so it counts with an extra Adreno 225 GPU running at 400 MHz to help handle those graphic tasks. A great point of this cellphone is its 64 GB big internal memory and an external memory card slot, enough to install tons of applications, games, photos and videos without having to worry about running out of space at all.
This cellphone has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. It can also capture videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. This camera also has flash.
This phone has wifi connection (although it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) data connection, which is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.
This phone also comes with a couple of useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
This phone counts with a 1520 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion removable battery providing this cellphone with a not very long battery duration. This phone has an estimated stand by time of 373 hs and a talk time of 10.8 hours.
This cellphone is not a good choice considering it is offerred for 250 dollars, and many similar cellphones can be found for much less money. No matter if you are looking for a social device, will use it as a gamer phone or are looking for a work cellphone, you will probably be very pleased with this phone.
