While its just a couple of days we've invested our time with the PadFone S, we've completely gone gaga for the gadget. Without a doubt, we have been extremely good towards ASUS's Zenfone line ups in our past audits, the Padfone S is absolutely an alternate classification from the organization's way of life arranged Zenfones, the Padfone S has a significantly more genuine outline and doesn't have blings and shines to pull in the ordinary client, yet what lies in the engine is power that you will genuinely appreciate.
In spite of the fact that the PadFone S doesn't have a super thin and smooth structure variable, its thickness and size gives an okay grasp available, the telephone has been made with an aluminum outline with a brushed metal completing on the sides, its backcover is made of polycarbonate which we have constantly adored on Lumia gadgets. The telephone may feel somewhat substantial for the normal client yet doubtlessly reasonable for gentlemen like you and me, stylishly it is as of now attempting to issue us a feeling that this is a gadget made for the force client.
In the wake of turning on the telephone, we are welcomed by the commonplace Zen UI which we've generally praised, right now of time you're not going to expect Android 5.0 Lollipop (we'd amazed on the off chance that it does) out of the crate, ASUS has been truly incredible at giving programming redesigns in the past so we anticipate that the organization will convey the OS redesign in a comparable timeline with other cell phone producers. Zen UI used to function admirably on Zenfones that we've looked into in those days, because of the Snapdragon 801 processor on the Padfone S, ZenUI works significantly all the more smoothly and makes the telephone's experience exceptionally pleasant.
Asus Padfone - Design
The ASUS PadFone cell phones are intended to opening into a tablet dock and in that capacity, the general state of the cell phone is directed by the state of the tablet dock. That being said, the ASUS PadFone S tries for an exceptionally basic configuration with adjusted corners and brushed metal sides that edge out to the adjusted back. The back spread is dark and matte and very agreeable to grasp yet the dark brushed metal sides are shaded dark also, giving a tasteful downplayed look. The 5-inch presentation is secured by against finger impression Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and to finish it off, ASUS have made it stun safe and water impervious to certain degree. As indicated by ASUS you can drop it certainly from knee level and it can likewise take a sprinkle or two. While we didn't attempt the water test, it did drop from about bed level and didn't have any scratches, splits or glitches thereafter. Manufacture quality is clearly strong and the telephone is not very substantial at 150g.
The PadFone S Station tablet dock then again appears to be some more of a stationary gadget, instead of a tablet you realize. At the time of testing, ASUS just had designing specimens accessible however the configuration is somewhat expansive for a tablet with a 9-inch show. The bezels are substantial for a tablet this size keeping in mind it is genuinely thin, when joined with the 150g PadFone S, both measure a fairly overwhelming 664g making it more suitable as a desktop holding nothing back one gadget. That being said, the tablet accompanies a higher determination show at 1920 x 1200 pixels and offers double front speakers for better sound.
Asus Padfone - Software and Performance
Because of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, the PadFone S can do certain things that the ASUS ZenFone scope of cell phones can't and this incorporates 4K feature recording and moderate movement feature. Furthermore, ASUS have incorporated a committed Image Signal Processor chip for taking better quality pictures, giving quicker auto-center and what ASUS cases to be letter low-light execution. Like other PixelMaster cams highlights like Time Rewind, which permits clients to pick and pick 2 seconds prior and 2 seconds after the screen has been squeezed and Low-Light mode which offers unrivaled execution in low-light yet yields determination are additionally accessible. For feature recording there is likewise the time-slip mode for when you need to take features of techniques or dusks.
While a few gadgets may brag leader cell phone emphasizes, the ASUS Padfone S really conveys lead cell phone level execution. This incorporates an AnTuTu score of 41642, putting it in the same association as the Samsung Galaxy S5 or HTC One M8 and figuring out how to demolish the Galaxy Note 3 and Xiaomi Mi 3. On 3DMark, the Padfone S maximized the majority of the tests however got a high score of 19739 on the Ice Storm Unlimited benchmark, setting it higher than even the Apple iPhone 6. In Epic Citadel it gets a score of 58 casings every second on full HD settings which is positively extremely noteworthy.
In genuine life testing the PadFone S conveys to a great degree great execution, with Asphalt 8:Airborne playing easily even on high visual quality settings while the sound is noisy and clear. Moving it up to the higher determination tablet brings about the same smooth execution yet the double front speakers on the tablet are a touch louder and offer a somewhat all the more even sound experience. Heat administration is truly superb, with the FonePad S just getting hot when you utilize the GPS for developed periods.
Asus Padfone - Battery
One other range that the PadFone S amazed us is battery life. One would believe that with a higher-determination 5-inch show, that you'd get the same or more awful execution than the ZenFone 5 yet even on overwhelming use, the PadFone S can last around 1 day and a half. Persistent substantial utilization chops this down to around 8 hours yet then again, you can charge back to 100% in short amount of time over 2 hours, which is quick things being what they are.
Asus Padfone - Camera
The cam execution is doubtlessly superior to the ASUS ZenFone 6, in spite of the same 13MP megapixel determination. Indeed, it is about keeping pace with the 20.7MP cam sensors with smooth slack free shots and feature recording, maybe because of the picture sign handling chip. Subtle elements are fresh and the self-adjust quick while the moderate movement and 4K feature recording highlights are likewise incredible. Low-light execution was additionally enhanced with lighter shots oblivious, setting it in front of essentially every other cameraphone in the business. While the back cam is really fantastic, the 2MP front cam is simply normal yet at the same time figures out how to convey sensible selfie shots when essential.

My Thought about Asus Padfone
There is for all intents and purposes no cell phone around that can coordinate the ASUS PadFone S as far as worth for cash. While the OnePlus One would have offered comparable tech specs and highlights, it is presently more than RM1K. The nearest adversaries regarding tech specs would be the Xiaomi Mi 3 or Huawei Honor 6, yet both don't offer the same level of execution nor are as stun or water safe as the PadFone S. In the event that you need the PadFone Station S tablet dock you will need to extra RM499 which does make this a touch pricy, however in the event that you've ever needed a really intense and able holding nothing back one gadget then this ASUS PadFone S cell phone and tablet combo could be ideal for you. Venders are as of now offering the two at decreased costs (eg: RM859 + RM439) so it ought to take a percentage of the sting off of getting both gadgets without a moment's delay.

Asus Zenfone 4 Review - What is Inside about this Android Phone?
Monday, April 6, 2015
The Asus Zenfone 4 is the smallest and the cheapest smartphone in the Zenfone parents and children, sporting a 4-inch part of a foot open. The between the extremes sibling in the parents and children – the Zenfone 5 is one of the best mid-rank smartphones we’ve pure, giving the Moto G (first gen) a run for its cash. Does the Zenfone 4 put up the same exhibit in the roll order? Peruse our detailed re-examine to fall in with out.
Project Design
The Asus Zenfone 4 has a 4-inch part of a foot open wrapped in a right-angled curved-edged material substance. This makes it light to use one handed and the ergonomically-placed buttons are light to extend. The removable formative back overspread has a cretaceous matte do, while the contortion and ableness buttons are metallic with concentric circles. As with all the phones in the Zenfone rank, there’s a sunshiny tear off at the base of the phone, which in this covering is made of formative. The phone weighs 115g and feels impenetrable. Despite the roll value, the phone looks comely ã la mode and obstinate in building.
Features
As with all the phones in the Zenfone line, the Zenfone 4 has the Zen UI hide attached to the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating a whole. But unlike many other Android skins we’ve seen, Zen UI is very unspotted and adds useful touches without messing with the Android actual observation too much.
If you are already an Android user, you’ll be conversant with most of the phone’s features. There’s the prevailing app drawer for apps and widgets, drawn out constraining the homescreen pulls out settings for changing the homescreen, and homescreen widgets and shortcuts can be secluded by drawn out-constraining and then dragging them to the Displace button.
It includes fastening-protection shortcuts for readily accessing material functions such as the camera, phone and messages. All you need to do is sweep the locked-protection icon across the protection and the phone closely unlocks the protection and puts you through the selected app.
Now, there’s a unimportant twist together in the advice dropdown – the Zen UI divides the dropdown into two. Sweep down from the left margin of the protection, and you see notifications from different apps and swiping the right margin will extend Nimble Settings for readily accessing for the use of all apps and settings. This might not be very exposed at first and you may wonder why the advice protection looks different every duration.
For a bag phone, the Zenfone 4 packs sufficiency of features that you might meet with useful even if you are a sparing user. Asus WebStorage is Asus’ own nebulosity labor which lets you preserve online backups, sync files between devices and portion them with your friends. But when we tried to use it, the app refused to free despite the phone being up-to-epoch.
There are several other apps that come pre-installed. Some apps such as Omlet Confabulate, Clique Vinculum and Amazon Inflame overlap with some of Google’s own apps that work for the same purposes. For example, there’s Omlet Confabulate, Hangouts and the banner true copy messaging app for sending messages. These supplemental apps are not only uncalled for, but also destroy priceless storage extension as they cannot be deleted or disabled without rooting the invention.
However, there are some useful apps, too. For example, there’s Super Record for taking notes, Glowing for changing the extend settings, and Efficacy Rescuer for optimising the battery.
Display Achievements
The Zenfone 4 features a coruscating 4-twelfth part of a foot, 480 x 800 decomposition open with a bed lay of Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which should make it recoiling to scratches and less knocks and bumps. While the protection is small for those who intend to use it for basic tasks of trade and sending body messages, the low decomposition instrument it’s not agreeable for gambling and attention videos as the protection suffers from reflections and pinched viewing angles. It’s almost unachievable to see the protection clearly in coruscating in the open air.
Asus packs the Brilliant app, which helps you advance the open peculiarity to an expanse. But even the app does little to meliorate the viewing-flare question.
Performance Achievements
The Zenfone 4 runs on the Intel Monad Z2520 dual-inmost part processor clocked at 1.2 GHz and backed by 1GB RAM. While this seems sufficient on writing, in frequent repetition, it feels slower than the Moto E, Nokia Lumia 530 and the Micromax Canvas A1 Android One.
It does a serviceable job at handling everyday tasks. Web pages, including those with lots of images and graphics weight post-haste and it can stick between apps seamlessly. The Zenfone 4 is little moderate to shrink up, taking a little more than half a little before you can shrink using it. Some of the heavier apps don’t weight post-haste, while some take longer than the habitual duration to reply. There’s also a noteworthy stuttering when playing games such as Fane Run 2 or running multiple apps in the background.
Connectivity and term attribute
The Zenfone 4 is a dual-Sim phone, which supports the 850,900,1800 and 1900 MHz bands on the GSM interlacement and 850,900,1900,2100 MHz bands on the 3G interlacement. There’s shore up for Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi, though there’s no NFC. There’s a microUSB slot for charging the shift and transferring facts to a PC.
Unhurt attribute on calls accepted by the phone is really beneficial, though calls made by the phone are mean proportion with articulate utterance sonorous wrapped up when there’s background unhurt.
Media
The failure symphony trifler cleanly categorises songs based on the album, skilled workman, lay name, genre, composer and folder. You can trace your favourite songs or fast sport files that you’ve recently added or played at short intervals. The app lets you sport songs saved online, by adding your Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Impel or Asus WebStorage record. This comes dexterous if you don’t have enough extension to treasury songs on the plan, though you’ll need to rely on a Wi-Fi reticulated or decussated work or alveolate premises to current symphony from your fog record. The symphony trifler also includes an equaliser for minute tuning your audio.
You get two apps for playing symphony – Google Sport and the failure plan symphony trifler.
Camera
Engraving characteristic of the 5MP camera is not too exciting. In the auto fashion, the camera keeps sound levels low and produces images with befitting clarity in legitimate medium of vision provisions. Colours can be a bit oversaturated, but it’s OK for a camera in this cost line. The camera is mostly forbear eating at capturing shots, though it can struggle to point of convergence correctly in dim medium of vision and when trying to take shut up ups.
Battery life
The Zenfone 4’s 1200mAh battery provides medium battery life. In our tests, it gave more than 13 hours of calls on the 2G reticulated or decussated work or nearly five hours of video playback (720p) before we had to stopple it to the mains. This is not the best in its rank or order, considering the 18-twenty-fourth part of a day plus battery life of the Micromax Canvas A1 Android One and the Moto E. However, it should be enough to get you through a 12-twenty-fourth part of a day day.

The Zenfone 4 is a dual-Sim phone, which supports the 850,900,1800 and 1900 MHz bands on the GSM interlacement and 850,900,1900,2100 MHz bands on the 3G interlacement. There’s shore up for Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi, though there’s no NFC. There’s a microUSB slot for charging the shift and transferring facts to a PC.
Unhurt attribute on calls accepted by the phone is really beneficial, though calls made by the phone are mean proportion with articulate utterance sonorous wrapped up when there’s background unhurt.
Media
The failure symphony trifler cleanly categorises songs based on the album, skilled workman, lay name, genre, composer and folder. You can trace your favourite songs or fast sport files that you’ve recently added or played at short intervals.

In the auto fashion, the camera keeps sound levels low and produces images with befitting clarity in legitimate medium of vision provisions. Colours can be a bit oversaturated, but it’s OK for a camera in this cost line. The camera is mostly forbear eating at capturing shots, though it can struggle to point of convergence correctly in dim medium of vision and when trying to take shut up ups.
Battery life
The Zenfone 4’s 1200mAh battery provides medium battery life. In our tests, it gave more than 13 hours of calls on the 2G reticulated or decussated work or nearly five hours of video playback (720p) before we had to stopple it to the mains. This is not the best in its rank or order, considering the 18-twenty-fourth part of a day plus battery life of the Micromax Canvas A1 Android One and the Moto E. However, it should be enough to get you through a 12-twenty-fourth part of a day day.
