Jonney Shih, President of ASUS, has presented the PadFone 2 at an international press conference in Milan, Italy. "Our maxim to innovate through our Design thinking philosophy has crystallized in the creation of the PadFone 2. It is a beautiful, fast device and, best of all, it is intuitive." Mr. Shih commented.

Applications are optimized in real time to accommodate tablet and phone modes, with an instant and smooth transition.

Lighter, more autonomy, better.

The renowned ASUS design philosophy has considerably reduced the thickness and weight of the PadFone Station, allowing the combination of the terminal and the tablet to weigh only 649 g, a weight less than most tablets on the market. The coupling mechanism has also been redesigned to allow completing the process with a single step. The PadFone 2 screen has been expanded to 4.7 ”, the profile of the terminal has been reduced to 9mm in the thickest place and its weight has been reduced to 135g.

At the autonomy level, the results are also impressive. The 2140mAh battery integrated in the terminal, allows you to enjoy 16 hours talking on 3G and 13 hours of online browsing via wireless connection. By pairing the PadFone Station, the 5000mAh battery extends 3G call time to 36 hours. The internal battery capacity of the PadFone Station allows the PadFone 2 to be recharged three times without the need to connect them to the network.

The new 4.7 ”1280 x 720 HD Super IPS + screen with Corning® Fit Glass offers detailed images, sharpness and color accuracy. In addition, the 178 ° viewing angle and 550 nits allow content to be readable outdoors in comfort.

The camera allows you to record 1080p video at 30 fps or 720p at 60 fps; And, thanks to the f / 2.4 aperture and image processor, it offers superior performance for scenarios with limited lighting.

Because terminal and tablet modes share connectivity, users will enjoy connection for both devices with a single data plan. In addition, the PadFone 2 features DC-HSPA + 42Mbit / s and 100Mbit / s LTE connectivity, ensuring cutting-edge browsing and download speed.
