Score: 65 / 100

Asus PadFone S is an incredible Android cellphone launched in January 2014, provisioned with an extremely fast 2300 MHz Quad-Core processor, a 5-inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 13 MP back camera and a 2 MP front camera.

Even though this device is only 5.67 inches long and 2.85 inches wide, it's able to fit a a 5 inches screen. This cellphone is incredibly slim and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.39". Asus has made a very nice job making this device weight only 5.29 ounces. Asus is offering this cellphone in three different colors: gray, pink and gold.

Asus sells this cellphone with a very fast Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 2300 MHz, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974-AB chip with a large 2 GB of RAM. This device comes with a 16 GB quite big internal memory and a slot for SD memory cards, which allows you to install hundreds of applications and games without worrying about space.

This device is equipped with an absolutely amazing 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) 5 inches screen, making everything look completely perfect. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This phone includes wi-fi connectivity (and it can share it with other devices around, acting as a router or modem), 4G LTE high performance connectivity and also HSPA+ data connection, a bit slower 4G variation and 3G fast connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM connection.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front facing camera. It can also film videos in 4K 3840x2160. In addition, the camera features a few good features: auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting and HDR mode.

This cellphone uses an inmense 2300 mAh replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours, although you may find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some heavy use. This phone has an estimated 417 hs stand by time and a 30 hours talk time.

This phone also comes with a few cool features such as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (provides communication with other cellphones, computers and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is being sold for $ 249, which is very expensive for this type of cellphone. No matter if you are an amateur photographer, will use this device mostly for social networks and internet browsing, will use this phone for work or want a gamer cellphone, this phone is definitely a great option .
