ASUS PadFone S (PF500KL) Overview and Specifications
This post is composed of the announcement made by ASUS on 2014/07/08 for the ASUS PadFone S smartphone and tablet, having some of the leading technology. The specifications of the ASUS PadFone S is also provided.
ASUS Announces PadFone S with 4G LTE Connectivity
Full HD smartphone and 9-inch tablet offer advanced technology in one device
2014/07/08
ASUS
today announced the availability of PadFone S, an innovative smartphone
and tablet in one featuring leading technology such as 4G LTE-Advanced
connectivity, Qi wireless charging, Near Field Communication (NFC)
support and a 13-megapixel PixelMaster camera.
PadFone S features
a unique two-in-one design comprised of a 5-inch full HD Android 4.4
(KitKat) smartphone that docks into the included PadFone S Station to
transform into a 9-inch tablet, giving users the flexibility to choose
the optimal screen size for any scenario, such as making phone or video
calls, composing email, watching videos or playing games. When docked,
apps running on the phone are seamlessly resized to fit the tablet’s
larger display. Dual front speakers provide rich and immersive sound,
and complement the large display to deliver incredible entertainment
experiences.
PadFone S has a thin and light design with a
stunning In-Plane Switching (IPS) 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) display covered
with durable, scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass with an
anti-fingerprint coating, so it is able to stand up to the rigors of
daily use. PadFone S meets stringent international operator requirements
with its ability to pass numerous drop and water resistance tests[i].
This tough design helps protect PadFone S against falls and dings,
accidental spills, and getting caught in the occasional rain shower.
Leading technology and innovation
PadFone S features support for LTE-Advanced technology, including
Carrier Aggregation, to deliver blazingly fast mobile data speeds for an
optimal internet experience and stutter-free streaming music and video.
The phone shares its data connection with the tablet, so users can
enjoy fast internet access in any usage scenario without the need for a
separate data plan.
PadFone S is powered by a Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ 801 quad-core 2.3GHz processor to provide incredible
performance so even the latest, most demanding apps and games run
smoothly. Its large battery charges the phone when it is docked,
providing up to two-times (2X) longer battery life so users can do the
things they love for longer. Qi wireless charging support enables
PadFone S to be charged without having to plug in a power cable, making
charging easy and convenient, while also reducing desktop clutter by
eliminating cords and adapters.
PadFone S features a
13-megapixel, f/2.0 aperture PixelMaster camera for capturing stunning
photographs that rival or surpass those taken by dedicated digital
cameras. It has an external image signal processor (ISP) to provide
enhanced noise reduction for smoother, better-looking photos. The
camera's Low-light Mode significantly increases camera performance
during nighttime and in poorly-lit scenes. By merging adjacent pixels,
the camera increases light-sensitivity by up to 400% and contrast up to
200%, resulting in clear and bright low-light shots without the need for
a flash.
ASUS ZenUI
PadFone S comes with ZenUI, the all-new, mobile user interface
exclusive to ASUS mobile devices that was developed around the concepts
of freedom, expression and connection. Featuring a new visual design
made to be efficient and inviting, it contains modern 'flat' icons,
vivid color themes, animations, new ringtones and notification sounds,
and a clean layout to present information clearly.
ASUS ZenUI
also includes two features — What's Next and Do It Later — designed to
free users from actively having to manage the multitude of information
they are confronted with daily, and enable them to be more productive.
What's Next puts the information currently most important and useful to
the user — such as upcoming appointments, new messages and missed calls
from VIP contacts, weather at the next destination, and more — front and
center on the lock screen, the home screen and in the notification
drawer.
Do It Later frees the user to focus on the task at hand,
without forgetting about other important things that they need to do
later. If a user is in the middle of writing an email and receives a
phone call, a simple button tap automatically creates a reminder to call
that person back. Users can also save interesting items, like articles,
YouTube videos, or any web page, to read later. Each reminder and saved
item is collected in the separate Do It Later app and includes a
shortcut to perform the related action, such as call a contact or view a
web page.

In compliance with IPX2 and drop test performed on a steel surface from
up to 1.5m, this smartphone is protected against falling water and
drops. Provided that the cover is firmly closed, the phone is (i)
protected against water when tilted up to 15 degrees from all practical
directions for up to 10 minutes, water equivalent to 3mm of rainfall per
minute in compliance with IPX2; and/or (ii) capable of resisting drops
on a steel surface from up to 1.5m. Test is run three times at
alternating heights, with impact testing on all sides of the device. All
tests were performed on the smartphone only, not including PadFone S
Station. Please note that the above information does not constitute as
ASUS manufacturer warranty. Please refer to ASUS Warranty Information
