MWC 2012 – Asus Padfone hands on review

Asus Padfone – the phone

The phone – the bit that’s actually called the Padfone – is in its own right a respectable bit of hardware. There’s a 4.3in Super AMOLED display laid over a 1.5GHz Snapdragon that takes care of running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Although at 9.2mm thick, it’s off the pace in the skinny phone race, those tapered edges give it a lovely feel and the Padfone’s circular patterned rear evokes the company’s UX laptops – no bad thing.
