Phone has reasonable screen, decent performance, decent camera in regular light, excellent battery life, ability to run tablet and smartphone off one data plan
Tablet section build quality not great, camera can't handle low light, tablet section's display is disappointing
The Padfone 2 is an interesting attempt by Asus to create an all in one tablet and smartphone convertible. However, the initial promise is let down by a number of niggling flaws that make its £600 price tag feel a little steep....
The ASUS PadFone 2 is an outstanding smartphone, but like the LG Optimus G it's no longer a cutting edge product. It's definitely fast enough, but the fact remains that the hardware has evolved further in other recent mobile devices. This doesn't automa...
Great performance; Sharp, bright phone screen; Impressive battery life
Poor tablet resolution; Devices need to be kept together; No expandable storage
A beautifully crafted handset, which fits into the 10in chassis to become a tablet. The idea to combine two form factors is brilliantly executed by Asus. We love the battery life the device has to offer and the pricing is also reasonable for the specific...
The Asus Padfone 2 is an interesting and unique offering. For £599 you get both a phone and a tablet in one although this has its limitations. Good hardware and excellent battery life are the standout features while build quality is a bit of a let-down...

Slick phone design, Neat docking mechanism, Great phone screen
Tablet audio is average, Separate use is impossible, Tablet design underwhelming
Good smartphone performance, excellent docking system, clever software tweaks
You compromise on both halves of the package, especially on the tablet device
The more we've lived with the Padfone 2, the more apparent it has become that for every highlight, there's a simple, regular solution. That leaves the Padfone 2 in something of a tricky situation. It's well engineered, it's almost priced right, but...
news is that Asus has all but eliminated these issues with the PadFone 2, which uses a simple slot in the back to hold the phone.It’s a bit thick in the middle, but there’s not really any avoiding that - it has to house a 9mm thick phone, after all. As a phone, it’s pretty decent - the 4.7-inch HD screen is sharp, and the quad-core 1.5GHz processor handles all the latest apps and games smoothly,
The Asus PadFone 2 is well executed, but it still lacks a few tech specs to match its rivals. The phone lacks the svelte beauty of rivals like the HTC One, the tablet display’s 1280x800 resolution looks a bit grainy next to a super sharp iPad 4 or Google Nexus 10, and it doesn’t run the latest Android 4.2 out of the box - though to Asus’ credit it’s been very swift with updates in the past.The bi
We have to admit, we had reservations about the PadFone concept - it just seems a bit impractical. Yet given the constraints, Asus has made it work as well as it possibly could - and if you’re the sort prepared to buy a phone SIM-free rather than on co...
Crisp, bright, colourful display; Connecting to tablet dock is simple and offers extra battery life; decent 13megapixel snapper with plenty of features.
Rather dear; Wobbly back when handset is docked; back panel is plasticky.
The Asus Padfone 2 proves to be a powerful smartphone with plenty of desirable features, as well as a useful tablet dock when you want a bigger screen and extra battery life...
Fantastic concept, well executed, Powerful, perfect for gaming, Screen on phone is sharp and bright, Strong battery life
Low resolution tablet dock, Phone back slippery, feels hollow, Dock functionality very occasionally glitchy,
The Asus Padfone 2 hasn't just created a new sub genre of device, it's totally nailed it with strong design, a clean UI, stacks of functionality, incredible performance and fantastic battery life.The screen on the tablet portion is lower resolution than w...
