ASUS PadFone Mini First Look! [CES 2014]

2014-01-08
this coverage of CES is brought to you by Toyota and now we have the mini version of a concept that I have always always been a fan of hey Josh Oh Garf manager I thought it wasn't going everybody and now we have the asus padfone min all right and like you saw in the intro yes this is a four inch phone right here that powers an entire tablet when you need a much larger screen to work with it slides in beautifully onto the back right here this is always really fun to do so as you can see here there is the base and we have the slot right here and right into the seven-inch tablet goes the phone and there you go we have a full 7-inch tablet at your fingertips this is a really really great concept I remember seeing this at MWC much earlier in 2013 and I thought it was such a great great great idea that actually is implemented so well given the great guys over at masseuse now of course the entire tablet is powered by the little guy right over here and we'll go ahead and talk about what that is like so as you can see the phone is out right there and it is powered by a Intel Atom processor that clocks in at 1.6 gigahertz and that 4 inch screen has a resolution of 800 by 480 but now let's take a look at the tablet itself I'm going to go ahead and reinsert the phone here again I'm talking about such a great feeling to be able to do that and all of a sudden you have a great tablet in your hands the 7-inch screen comes in at a resolution of 1280 by 800 which provides a very nice experience for general media consumption and also even games and as you can see here we do have the Zen UI which is what we have been seeing from the Zen phones it's not it's an early build still so there's still some features that have to come through as you can see there's a notification drop down I'll go ahead and dress adjust the brightness a little bit so you can see a little bit better and there is you know all of the circle centric or the concentric circles whatever term you want to use but a lot of the elements are made up of circles and it makes for a very clean look that allows it to be very functional at the time now when it comes to battery life the little phone itself comes with a 1170 milliamp hour units that will provide it some good longevity especially since it is a small phone it will probably go for quite a while because that battery is big for such a small 4-inch phone however the station itself actually comes with a 20 100 million powered unit so don't worry about losing battery life quickly just because you're using one unit to power essentially to the station comes with its own battery which is a great feature that allows it to you know have a little bit more longevity so if you really need to use the tablet more than the phone then you have power for that when combined this whole unit comes in at 376 grams which is a very very nice weight for this it is not too heavy but also not too light that to make you question its build quality and as far as build quality goes we do have a nice luster back here that makes it look feel really really nice it's not it is still plastic it is not metal but it definitely has a much better sort of countenance to it so it's not going to get a lot of fingerprints on the back or smudge it's actually for that matter and finally we do have an 8 megapixel camera on the 4-inch phone here that does come with the pixel master software that Zeus has put into their cameras that allows for 400 percent brighter photos in low-light great low-light performance in that camera right there so that is the PadFone menu this is another one of the innovations that comes from a sous that was announced yesterday this is another iteration of the pad phone here that is a concept I have always been a fan of so that is us from a sous here at the Trump Towers this is Josh burger from Andhra Authority but coming to you live from CES 2014 and once again thank you to Toyota for sponsoring our CES coverage
