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

Lightweight, Great battery life, Padfone concept works well
Disappointing camera, No removable storage
Compared the original Padfone, the Padfone 2 is far more usable, prettier, significantly more powerful and more affordable device. Asus have clearly spent care and time over the design refinements, not to mention instilled it with some of the most powerfu...
Thinner and lighter than predecessor, Significantly upgraded internals, 13-megapixel camera
Not compatible with original Padfone dock, Padfone Station screen resolution, No word on AU release or price
The ASUS Padfone 2 is thinner, lighter and faster than the original Padfone and has significantly upgraded internals. There's no word yet on an Australian release date or pricing, so watch this space...

Buying guide 20 best mobile phones in the world today With the Padfone 2, Asus has created a compelling smartphone-tablet hybrid, though it's something of an uneven partnership. It's a fine top-end smartphone married to a mediocre tablet experience, and a...
The Asus Padfone 2 is a fine example of the kind of out-of-the-box thinking we like to see from more manufacturers. The hybrid is a unique concept which makes so much sense that we wonder why more OEMs haven't explored it.Not only do you get access to you...
Abstract: Asus PadFone 2 that was launched in Malaysia on December 13th, 2012, is finally getting the Android 4.4 KitKat treatment, but there is one big caveat we'll get to in just a bit. This build finally brings the OEM skin of the once flagship PadFone 2 in pari...
Lighter and thinner, Snappier performance, Great camera, display and audio, Long battery life
No keyboard dock
The ASUS PadFone 2 addresses every flaw with the original PadFone and improves upon it. Not only is this a lighter, thinner and more powerful device, it's also decked with new and better features that truly elevates this phone-in-tablet device into a won...
Superb 4.7inch display, Good overall performance, Great camera image quality, Sleeker PadFone Station
No memory card slot, Lack of a keyboard dock, Could have shipped with Android 4.1, Realworld battery life is lackluster
Even though the first-gen PadFone was introduced barely six months ago, its successor arrived at a time where companies no longer take into consideration fixed product refresh cycles. Whether consumers like it or hate it, we feel that it is part of ASUS's...
Excellent performance, Expandable storage, Optional PadFone Station accessory for tablet conversion
Slightly worse battery life, Almost exactly the same as original PadFone Infinity, Handling still not as good as competition, 16GB configuration costs the same as the previous 32GB edition
The new PadFone Infinity adds a few nice upgrades to an already decent device, but overall, it doesn't offer enough over the existing PadFone Infinity. The addition of a microSD card slot fixes one of the negative points we raised with the previous model...
