Design and Build
The Asus PadFone presents a sleek and ergonomically designed smartphone that measures 128 x 65.4 x 9.2 mm and weighs a mere 129 grams. It feels comfortable in the hand and is easy to carry around. The materials and construction give it a durable feel. However, one of its most distinctive features is the optional PadFone Station, a 10.1-inch dock that transforms the smartphone into a tablet. This dock, measuring 273 x 176.9 x 13.55 mm and weighing 724 grams, offers a substantial battery boost with a built-in 6600 mAh battery, significantly increasing the device's usability without the need for immediate charging. It’s worth noting, however, that the combined weight can be quite substantial when carrying both components together.
