Asus Padfone 2 - Quite Cool Leh

When I first saw the Padfone 1, I though "nice idea, but eh...weird leh" Plus, the battery on the phone itself was even less than the Nexus, I don't expect it to last half a day.

I can't say the Padfone 2 isn't weird either, it still is a bit, but it looks a lot better, and with bumped up specs and a much larger battery than its predecessor, I think it looks like a winner!

Won't post specs here, go Google them yourself, but the camera performance, better design, and lighter weight (over 200grams shaved off from its tablet+phone combo, 649gms vs 854gms) makes it quite a formidable device!



There's no review yet, but it seems Asus is really trying to push its camera and tablet form factor feature hard.

Sound quality is really important to me so it's good to know that they took that seriously too. But speaking of sound, the headphone jack smacked at the top centre of the device is just...weird.

I think the surprise came when the dock, though proprietary, will also accept regular micro usb for day to day charging and regular transfers!!!

All in all an incredible product based solely on the ads and specs of course, just wished updates come faster than usual....this one is currently rocking ICS and will get JB sooner down the road.
