is $200 on a two-year contract too much to ask for a pretty average lb at wellspect smart phone well what if a tablet came in the box along with it that's the question AT&T is putting to customers come June 6th when it opens pre-orders for the unique a sous pad phone x i'm michael fisher with pocket now and this is your unboxing and first look the box for the ped phone X is large but otherwise typical AT&T with orange and white branding and precious little else opening the box reveals the pad phones tablet dock up front with the smartphone down one layer in its own dedicated Bay if a tablet and smartphone in the same box aren't enough for you you do get something extra here bundled earbuds which we're always happy to see down at the bottom of the typical wall charger with 2 amp output and a USB cable along with some product literature warranties and so on the hardware itself will be familiar to anyone who's been following the PadFone line the tablet portion is just a cradle for the smartphone providing a 9 inch 1920 by 1200 display for a pixel density of around 251 in pixels per inch it's embedded battery is quite large at nearly 5,000 milliamp hours that augments the 2300 milliamp hour battery on the smartphone itself a Snapdragon 800 powered device with 2 gigs of RAM 16 gigs of on-board storage and microSD expansion to an additional 64 gigs the screen is 5 inches at 1080p and the camera around back is 13 megapixels with an Isuzu i running atop Android 4.4.2 again the phone provides all the connectivity and processing power when it's docked to the tablet so it's got a TN t--'s full range of radios including LTE advanced compatibility and support for PMA wireless charging but not sadly Qi in the hand the docked pay is reasonably compact though at a combined mass of 664 grams you're definitely gonna know it's in your bag it's comfy to hold with its matte finish and the bezels while huge to allow for easy handling and they also provide space for the front speakers always a plus the asou software layer is reminiscent of the company's Zen UI and it's pretty thick but it's necessary for jumping between phone and tablet modes as smoothly as possible it's certainly not without its compromises but after a few hours of use we can safely say that pad phone X is definitely bringing something interesting here for those looking to get the most for their dollar now whether it's actually a good buy remains to be seen but we're certainly looking forward to finding out as we head into our full review to make sure you don't miss it subscribe to pocket now here on YouTube and on our various social feeds like this video if you did enjoy it and let us know what you want us to cover in the full review down in the comments below until next time this has been michael fisher with PocketNow thanks for watching and we'll see you soon
