'DNA' review: A phone? Tablet? Notebook? How about all? - home battery pack

Asus's transformer design is so successful that most of the upcoming Windows 8 convertible Ultrabook will take the same route.
Asus's transformer design is so successful that most of the upcoming Windows 8 convertible Ultrabook will take the same route.
The idea is simple and practical, but people in the Asus R & D department seem to want to see how far they can go on the concept.
We'll give you Padfone.
An Android smartphone that can be turned into a tablet and a laptop.
Asus recently officially launched the smartphone in India, the most expensive and unique Android smartphone so far.
The core of all this is the phone itself.
A thin phone with 4. 3-
Inch Super AMOLED display and Gorilla glass to protect the front.
The phone is very well designed and looks like the fourth-generation iPod Touch in front of it.
It's 1 inside. 5GHz dual-
Core Qualcomm SoC based on the new "krait" architecture, so it is undoubtedly a highlight.
This shift happens when you slide your phone into your tablet as or Padfone Station and boom! —
You have a tablet now.
The station will gather in 10 minutes. 1-
Inch HD display with 1 front. 3MP camera.
The rear camera is the phone itself, which is an 8MP shooter capable of full HD video recording.
The space station is also equipped with batteries that charge the phone when docked.
You also have a third accessory, the keyboard dock, and now it's turned into a laptop.
The keyboard adds an additional battery pack to charge the Padfone Station and extends the phone's functionality through two USB 2.
Port 0 and card reader.
Asus also comes with a funky stylus that can also be used as a Bluetooth headset if you need to make a phone call in tablet or laptop mode.
While it's really great that a product gives you the experience of three different devices, it makes Padfone quite bulky.
The phone itself is thin, but carrying other accessories with you can be a chore.
Once docked, you will get the full Android tablet experience as the app automatically expands to a larger screen.
One of our troubles is that every time you dock most apps and settings to the station, they are reset to the default value.
There is a deep black color on the display, but we feel that the color is too saturated to look natural.
Audio and video play well and Padfone can handle 1080 p video easily.
Even in the case of low light, the 8MP camera can take very good photos. Android 4.
0 sometimes gets a bit lagging, but hopefully the update of jelly beans will fix this.
On the rs65000 of the entire kit, the Asus Padfone is quite expensive and will only attract some niche audiences.
Still, we have to provide props for Asus, at least think outside the box.
