MWC is turning out to be a hybrid event, where we’ve been seeing a lot of tablets than the smartphones this year. But now, ASUS has done something they did last year. The company unveiled the PadFone and FonePad at the event, and we take a look at how well the devices are made for the consumers.
We all know by this time that ASUS is known for making a hybrid devices, that could act as a tablet as well as a smartphone. And the concept came in with the launch of the PadFone last year.
ASUS PadFone Infinity:
The first thing that ASUS unveiled on stage at MWC was the ASUS PafFone, which can be transformed into a tablet with a 10.1-inch display, had some pretty good configuration. PadFone Infinity sports a 1920 x 1200 full HD display with a brilliant 441 PPI. This is not all, the device has even more packed into it. Let’s now take a look at the configuration:

The PadFone Infinity comes with a natural grip capability, which ASUS says because of the curvy design they’ve made for the phone. And when transforming the device into a tablet (You will have to place the phone behind the tablet), all the capabilities and functions that your phone was performing would be transformed into the tablet’s screen, using their own Dynamic Display technology.
ASUS FonePad:
This 7-inch tablet device from ASUS is yet another beauty. The device can transform back into a phone, not like how the PadFone did, but with something different. The device has all the capabilities that the phone has, and it can do everything that you’d do with a smartphone and a tablet. FonePad also has a 1280 x 800 full HD display, and we think its brilliant.
Talking about the design capabilities, the FonePad features the same finish the PadFone has, and it weighs just 340 grams. The FonePad would be for those who hates to carry two devices, the smartphone and the tablet.
