Many people in the purchase of smart devices, and will want a question: How should buy high-end smart phones? Smart phone or buy a flat ground, leaving the money to buy a Tablet PC a little better? This problem in the past has been plagued by Padfone Asus today launched at MWC, Barcelona, can completely so that we once had to meet two wishes! By mainland producers to obtain a test drive of this machine, now we uncover the true face of this new aircraft models such as mobile phones like flat! However, we should note, because this machine is still beta version, so the final is expected to sell in the middle of the year version of the Street, efficacy and performance should be better than this test version, first Dingding addiction "as a reference well.
Phone tablet dual-purpose machine
Speaking Padfone can be said that the mobile phone sector, "Transformers," because in itself it is a high-standard dual-core processor smartphones, but as long as the phone is inserted in the Padfone Station can instantly transforming itself into with 10.1-inch screen of the Tablet PC, very interesting. In fact, this concept earlier Motorola's Atrix series, as well as Sony yesterday launched a new machine when the Xperia SmartDock similar concept, but the former is only the phone turned notebook computers, lack of liquidity; while the latter is even more can only be connected to TV, can only be for home use, portability is not enough, Asus Padfone Station, on both, if necessary, with a larger screen so that users can browse content, do not squeeze in a tiny cell phone screen point of view, but also taking into account the mobility ( connection Padfone Station fuselage is quite heavy, much heavier than the Transformer of Prime ......) and, more importantly, this Station built-in 6,600 mAh battery, as long as the Padfone inserted into the Station, you can charge the phone at the same time !
Use in tablet mode, the same as the general mobile phone-like answer the phone, holding a big plate of course not telling everyone to your ear to listen, but you can use a wired headset, wireless Bluetooth headset, even Asus launched the same field Stylus Handset answer the phone! So we can usually only hold the phone, plug it back in when not in Station charge of facilitating more comfortable outside or in the office to browse the file or web page. Also worth mentioning, in fact Padfone one more "change" is that it has a Padfone Station Dock, is very similar to the design of the Transformer Prime Keyboard base, while the Padfone Station Dock also built-in 6,600 mAh capacity battery, plus on Padfone 1,520 mAh battery, up to an aggregate total of 14,720 mAh of power capacity for people to use even more capacitance than the largest external battery! Heard of the Asus chairman Johnny Shih is holding a "triple play" product normally use one week under normal use and do not connected to the AC adapter to charge, really very exaggerated! Also worth mentioning is Padfone connection Padfone Station, using a technology called DynamicDisplay, making the cell phone to insert the Station, you can show real-time screen, and will automatically adjust by the mobile phone interface for the Tablet PC interface; and Padfone Station, insert the Dock, but also can transform into a Netbook-like notebook computers, this design is very much mind, but also believe that thanks to the Android 4.0 the Ice Cream, Sandwich operating system, the introduction of unified mobile phones and flat operating system before Asus can do this design.
The set-top has a 3.5mm headphone jack and the key to open.
The left side of the fuselage has two terminals, namely the micro HDMI video output terminal and the micro USB terminal.
The left side of the fuselage than the location point metal connected to the bit, it is connected to the Padfone Station, the location for Charging Station know that has been split good phone.
The right side of the fuselage, there are only two independent volume control keys.
Itself, the phone built-in 16GB storage space, and also supports microSD memory cards to further expand the storage space. SIM card, which supports the ordinary the SIM, rather than the present, many cell phone popular use of micro the SIM.
Comes with battery, 1,520 mAh capacity.
This is the Padfone the appearance of the Station, and Padfone after the merger.
Itself Padfone Station is no operating system, so alone can not be used, power can not be opened. To insert the phone, pulling the top of the button.
Then you can see the position, the top two plugs inserted into the phone is connected Padfone's micro HDMI and micro USB terminal, while the bottom three-point metal pick, is connected to three o'clock of the the Padfone body left side of the metal bits.
The phone is inserted, close the protective cover.
The flat-panel turned to complete!
We can see that the protective cover left two small holes Padfone 8 million pixel camera and LED fill light can "breathe", to use in tablet mode, you can also take pictures and videos.
Padfone Station, built-in speakers, and support for the Asus with the B & O co-developed by Sonic Master, not only can greatly enhance the Padfone the volume, can also make the sound quality greatly improved. But I the hands of just a test machine, so it seems in this respect has not been fine-tuning is completed, so the sound quality there are still some "sand", I believe the factory performance will be more satisfactory.
Back to the front of the fuselage, you can see the top of the screen has a front video lens.
-Edge design is quite elegant.
If you want to charge for Padfone Station, it is necessary to use a special plug, in fact, it is very similar to the USB plug of the Transformer Prime.
Speaking of the Transformer Prime, Take it and installed the Padfone the Padfone Station, mutatis mutandis, about, almost visible machine area the Padfone Station, height short point, but the width is a little bit longer.
If from the side, you can see more thick Padfone Station.
Super AMOLED screen with bright bright
Fit technology, the Padfone the specifications are also very attracted to the most attractive is definitely on its screen, with Samsung last year launched the Galaxy S II also uses the Super AMOLED screen resolution higher than the GS2 is 540 x 960 qHD, but in fact the actual resolution is only 540 x 888, because the location of the screen the very bottom, leaving some space to three touch buttons, so when we completely shut down, these buttons will disappear very beautiful. Go back to its Super AMOLED screen, I also used the Galaxy S II Super AMOLED for comparison and found that the Padfone the Super AMOLED screen performance is quite excellent, and the darker color taste, the color is bright, used Dixiang Di film indeed impressive. However, its degree of detail is only a general, probably because it is always a test machine, yet fine-tuning to the best results, I hope the screen detailed real selling Street be further improved it.
Samsung Galaxy S II, the Asus Padfone Super AMOLED screen.
Three touch buttons of the bottom of the screen, in fact, belong to part of the screen when the phone to turn off the power, or idle, the key will disappear.
Super AMOLED screen in padfone (left), color, taste thick, also a little reddish, more natural portrait photo; Galaxy S II Super AMOLED screen color is more bluish, but the detail is relatively good. In fact, both the Air phase or films does not differ much, the same is quite natural.
As for browsing the web, screen Padfone significantly higher than light, would be more favorable in bright light; Galaxy S II detail the Air text clearer.
As for the the Padfone Station 10.1-inch screen, the screen resolution up to 1,280 x 800, with the same general Android 10.1 inch Tablet PC The official MWC press conference, this screen has not said what material, but I estimate that should Transformer Prime the same, but also Super IPS + LCD screen, I made this guess, for two reasons: One is Padfone connected Padfone Station, set the "Super IPS + (Outdoor Mode" option can be seen from the name clues; The second is the viewing angle of the Transformer of Prime is also very wide, not color like Padfone used Super AMOLED like thick and bright (and Super AMOLED Samsung for other plant have not been such a large 1,280 x 800 resolution of the panel), this 10.1-inch screen, probably the Super the IPS + LCD screen.
The Padfone connection Padfone Station, you can do with its 10.1-inch screen, enjoy the screen display.
From a wide viewing angle is very similar with the Transformer Prime, I estimated that it should be using the Super the IPS + LCD material.
Enough body design "Zen"
Hardware, I would like to raise one more point Padfone the body design. It is the same with the other Asus high-end digital products, but also using the design concept of the "Zen (Zen)" not only the body is very light and thin, and the rear distributed by countless lens circular metal ring as the center go through the round pattern composed of not only looks very beautiful, but also possess the characteristics of anti-Municipal hand. As for the machine side, it uses a metal machine side, but the metal part with the less the closer the bottom to form a feeling of a distance, one kind of body from top to bottom of the narrowed, the more variable and thinner, so that users in the visual perception of this machine is very thin (of course, the fact that it is very thin, only 9.2mm). This design, excellent job.
Final Verdict : innovative ideas ‧ body design class
In conclusion, the Asus Padfone, I get started there is a rather pleasing feeling, not only on the body design mind, but the overall handling is very smooth, completely out of the last year Some of the manufacturers of aircraft models using Qualcomm dual-core processor that "snapped snapped under the" feeling, the feeling is by no means out of this year, rallied inferior quad-core mobile phone! Of course, with good hardware, but also a good software in order to bring home a good experience. And what this machine is equipped with hardware specifications, Padfone different test software "test" performance of what? In addition, Asus Padfone on deliberately to build a new high-quality lens, what the effect on the shoot and how? This is necessary to pay attention later today when published in the the Padfone Hong Kong real machine measuring in the software part.
