News is that Asus has all but eliminated these issues with the PadFone 2
Which uses a simple slot in the back to hold the phone.It’s a bit thick in the middle
But there’s not really any avoiding that - it has to house a 9mm thick phone
After all. As a phone
It’s pretty decent - the 4.7-inch HD screen is sharp
And the quad-core 1.5GHz processor handles all the latest apps and games smoothly

The Asus PadFone 2 is well executed
But it still lacks a few tech specs to match its rivals. The phone lacks the svelte beauty of rivals like the HTC One
The tablet display’s 1280x800 resolution looks a bit grainy next to a super sharp iPad 4 or Google Nexus 10
And it doesn’t run the latest Android 4.2 out of the box - though to Asus’ credit it’s been very swift with updates in the past.The bi
Abstract: With the Asus PadFone 2, the concept is even more ergonomic than the Atrix. It's a fine Android phone with a 4in screen that's also the slide-in engine for a slick tablet. Not so long ago, the idea of a tablet supplanting the need for a laptop was nascent...
Abstract: Asus are a company that I think of for computers and motherboards. So when the opportunity to look at a mobile phone from them it seems an interesting option. The name puzzled me for a moment until I related the ‘Pad’ part to a tablet....
One data plan for two devices, No syncing, Clean OS
Below-par average and sound, Doesn't feel ‘premium', Performance issues
As we said, battery life is a big plus when considering the Padfone 2. The duo give around two days of normal use watching movies, playing Android games, messaging and making calls. In fact, if the Padfone 2 were cheaper we'd be much more enamoured of ...

Good display, fast processor, quality camera, bonus tablet!
Not the latest Android, combination's heavy for a tablet, no memory expansion, proprietary charging port on tablet
As a combi deal with a high-end smartphone and matching tablet the Asus Padfone 2 is more than a gimmick -- it's a pretty good deal. The phone's spec may not quite match the very best, but the differences are minimal, and hey, you're getting a good-qual...
Abstract: If you've got some spare cash burning a hole in your pocket and you can't decide whether you want a new phone or a tablet, the Asus Padfone 2 might come to your rescue. It's both. The phone is a fully fledged handset, self-contained and able to work on it...

Effective slot, in design, Great performance & decent battery life, Good screen and cameras on the phone
Not as good as other phone/tablet combos, Low, res screen on tablet, No SD card slot
The Padfone 2 is a great idea, and one that's mostly well-executed. There are definite advantages to having phone and tablet share a single set of apps and the same storage space, and – in theory – it makes sense not to double up on processing power, sto...
The PadFone is such a good idea you wonder why nobody thought of it before. Despite the lack of storage expansion, the benefits of having a phone with an optional ten-inch screen and a reserve battery are obvious, while the handset itself is every bit as...
Phone has reasonable screen, decent performance, decent camera in regular light, excellent battery life, ability to run tablet and smartphone off one data plan
Tablet section build quality not great, camera can't handle low light, tablet section's display is disappointing
The Padfone 2 is an interesting attempt by Asus to create an all in one tablet and smartphone convertible. However, the initial promise is let down by a number of niggling flaws that make its £600 price tag feel a little steep....
The ASUS PadFone 2 is an outstanding smartphone, but like the LG Optimus G it's no longer a cutting edge product. It's definitely fast enough, but the fact remains that the hardware has evolved further in other recent mobile devices. This doesn't automa...
