The ASUS PadFone 2 has just become official courtesy of two official events taking place in Taipei and Milan. We’re dealing with the same tablet and phone combo and hybrid, but this time with new specs and design. The handset slides into the tray of the slate, but this time it doesn’t have a lid on top of it. The PadFone 2 handset comes with a 720p Super IPS+ screen with a 4.7 inch diagonal.
The display offers 550 nits of brightness and relies on Sharp’s IGZO technology, that has been discussed a lot lately. Other features include 2 GB of RAM, 16/32/64 GB of storage and a quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. At the back there’s a 13 megapixel camera with a F/2.4 BSI sensor made by Sony, while at the front we find a 1.2 megapixel camera. The device is supposed to launch with Android ICS and get Jelly Bean soon after. Back to the main camera, the 13MP shooter records in Full HD at 30 FPS and HD at 60 fps.
NFC and LTE are also supported and you also get 50 GB of ASUS WebStorage for 2 years, like on the previous model. The battery here is non removable and has a 2,140 mAh capacity, while the PadFone Station adopts a 5000 mAh battery, down from 6600 mAh on the previous PadStaton. There’s a microSIM card slot in the mix and no microSD at all, apparently. The PadStation weighs 512 grams and it’s been slimmed down considerably, while the phone weighs 135 grams. The good news is that the handset can be bought separately for a price tag of $620 to $705, depending on storage option. The tablet sets you back an extra $210.

The hottest smartphone of the moment, LG Optimus G has been priced for release in USA, where it will debut next month. This quad core Snapdragon handset will debut on Sprint for $199 on November 11th and on AT&T for the same price on November 2nd. Both prices apply with 2 year contracts. Preorders for the Sprint Optimus G start on November 1st.
The AT&T version of the LG Optimus G is a bit wider than the Sprint one and the Korean version. Also, the bad news is that this version also comes with an 8 megapixel camera instead of the 13 megapixel shooter that the phone has in Korea. Other than that we get the same 4.7 inch True HD IPS+ screen and the quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, a pretty hot combination right now, that will give the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III a run for their money. I wonder if the quantity of 2 GB RAM will be kept in the AT&T version, but I guess it’ll remain the same, since there’s no reason to change it for less. Apparently you can already preorder the device on AT&T, which is pretty cool. Considering the LG Nexus 4 has pretty much the same specs, aside from the storage, are you willing to hold out for that one or buy the Optimus G? Related posts:
