Asus PadFone mini is a mid-level Android phone launched in 2014, having a medium sized 4" multi-touch screen, a high speed 1600 MHz Dual-Core CPU, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front camera.
Asus is offering this phone in a variety of colors like black, blue, red, white and gold. This cellphone is thin and comfortable, although it's not close to being one of the thinnest devices in the market, with a thickness of 0.44 inches. Asus has made an excellent optimization job making this phone weight only 4.09 oz.
Asus decided to equip this phone with an extremely powerful Dual-Core processing unit running at 1.6 gigahertz, packed into the Intel Atom Z2560 system chip with only 1 GB RAM which is a little disappointing for such a great device. An interesting aspect of this phone is the 8 GB quite large internal storage and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to store hundreds of games and applications without any trouble.
This cellphone features two cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front side camera. It also films 1920x1080 Full HD videos. To complete the camera, it also counts with some nice characteristics like fast burst mode, auto-focus, HDR mode and geo tagging.
This device has a good looking 800 x 480 4 inches screen, making everything look very good. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.
This phone features wifi connection (although it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) data connection, which is not so fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and 3G fast data connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device works with a Micro SIM card for GSM services.
This phone also includes a couple cool features such as Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth cellphones and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and a couple sensors likeAccelerometer and Compass.
This phone comes with a small 1200 mAh Li-Polymer replaceable battery providing this cellphone with a poor battery duration.
The Asus PadFone mini is being sold for around $ 249, not a really offer for comparing with similar cellphones. If you want this cellphone mostly for social networks, you will probably love this phone.
