Asus PadFone mini is an interesting Android cellphone released some years ago, in 2014, having a very powerful 1600 MHz Dual-Core processor, a 4-inches multi-touch display, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera.
Asus decided to power this phone using an exceptional Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1.6 gigahertz, included in a Intel Atom Z2560 system chip with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a bit poor for such a great device. This phone counts with a good 8 GB internal memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to install a couple hundred games and apps without running out of space.
Asus made this cellphone in multiple colors, black, blue, red, white and gold. This phone is much lighter than what you expect from a phone this size. This phone is slim and comfortable, but it's not close to being one of the thinnest devices out there, with a thickness of 0.44 inches.
Asus designed this phone with a good level 4" screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , giving this cellphone a nice image quality. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.
This phone offers Wi-Fi connectivity (but it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ data connection, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone has dual SIM to be able to to use 2 different phone numbers in the same cellphone.
The Asus PadFone mini has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera. This phone also captures videos in Full HD 1920x1080. In addition, the camera counts with a couple of interesting characteristics: auto-focus, fast burst mode, HDR mode and geo tagging.
The Asus PadFone mini also features a couple of cool features like Bluetooth and GPS, and a couple sensors likeAccelerometer and Compass.
This phone has a 1200 mAh low capacity Li-Polymer removable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will find yourself looking for a place to charge it even after moderate use.
The Asus PadFone mini is really expensive considering it costs $ 249, while other similar cellphones cost much less than that. If you want it majorly for social networks and internet browsing, this device is probably a great choice .
