so for the last few years in a row I've been here at MWC in covering the Batphone and I always leave with a major want I want that bad phone but I never get it because it's expensive so we're here 2013 let's use booth another bad phone this time is the PadFone infinity and we're taking a look at this right now I'm Anton Michael behind the camera and this is PocketNow so as you might know the PadFone concept is easy and simple there's a film which talks into a tablet and the tablet has no brains so it's just basically a docking screen for the phone itself there are a couple of differences between this model and last year's model which we'll cover in a hands-on video and a comparison shortly after this but let's talk about specifications about the Batphone and Finity right here this has got a 5 inch full HD screen that's nine twenty by ten eighty and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor it's a quad-core processor running at 1.6 gigahertz it also has 2 gigabytes of RAM and 32 / 64 gigabyte storage options now if we turn it to the back there's still a 13 megapixel camera like on last year's model but this one has a better aperture rating there's your light flat flashlight and the build is made completely out of aluminium so this will probably be a phone which will get scratched in a difficult way turning it to the bottom we have a microUSB port for your charging and a microphone this is the main microphone at the device on the left side we have the nano SIM door so if you've seen this on the iPhone 5 you might know it up top we have your 3.5 millimeter headphone jack nothing else right here the other side holds your side firing speaker a power button and the volume rocker for volume up and volume down the front is obviously taken by this huge slab of glass which makes it look really good especially if you see the bezel is very small and it had the earpiece and the 2 megapixel front firing front-facing camera plus your sensors I'm not sure you can see those and trying to get the light right there are your sensors for proximity and light obviously a sues branding on the front and a bad film branding on the back which is a little bit off but this is pre-production hardware and also pre-production software now let's jump into the docking side of the tablet side of things this is basically a domed tablet it has no internals as in a processor or memory everything you operate on this side of things happens on the phone once you docket it we've got a 10.1 inch full HD display we also have a webcam right here and it's not that thin but it tapers towards the edges if you can get a feel of that turning it to the back this is plastic so this is no longer the aluminum you'll find here as you can see this is plastic this feels good but we wish but it would be the same material this is your docking station so here you dot your phone like this you just slide it in and push it down and I'll just remove it so that you can see the action itself we have your speaker grill right here we have the microUSB port for charging this also holds a battery so while you are docked and it charges your phone itself there's nothing on the bottom going up top there is your power button and to your left there's another micro USB port or maybe that's a micro HDMI port and let's do some docking action ok so here's a docking action you take your phone you slide it in in this little pocket all the way to the bottom and then you just push down on it and there's a haptic feedback on the tablet going on telling you that it's been docked so here it goes sliding it down vibration and it automatically switches to the tablet layout it's no longer a phone layout even though you can have it set so that it emulates the phone layout of things and while we are here we might just hop into settings real quick and see what this platform runs it's currently running Android 4.1.2 and of course you have the suits skin on top of it which some issues even though it's a very resemblance a standard user interface lots of Seuss widgets like your bat phone assistant which is scrollable with or at least it was scrollable it is suitable with charging settings and useful information this is Michael Fisher's favorite widget the power indicator for charging how much power you have on your phone and on your tablet so basically this is all about the bat phone at the moment one thing we don't have the fancy stylus which acts as an earpiece you can talk on the phone while it is docked and either by by using a speakerphone or by using a standard Bluetooth headset or you can just pop it out and use the phone as a phone so we'll get back to you with a comparison between the Padfone infinity and d-pad phone - until then this was an item from pocket now of course Michael behind the camera a Sue's and pocket now at MWC 2013 thank you very much for watching
