ASUS is a company that keeps plugging along in the mobile world even though it does not always release the highest end products that keep consumers coming back. Instead, ASUS brings a level of devices that are full of good hardware and priced affordably low so that all kinds of consumers can enjoy them. The latest device is the ASUS PadFone Infinity and it was first announced back at the Mobile World Congress event this year, but the device that is headed to the market might look a little different from what event goers might remember seeing earlier this year.
Since it was announced months ago, the PadFone Infinity has gone through some changes that include overall design, as well as changes to the hardware on the inside of the device. The first version was said to have the quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor installed in it, but the processor that is coming on the retail version of the device appears to be the upgraded Snapdragon 800 from Qualcomm. The new processor bumps the speeds up to 2.3GHz and will provide plenty of improved performance for those that buy the device.
A new microSD card slot was also installed on the device and the company claims that a “brand new UI” will be running on top of the pre-installed Android 4.2 software. The overall design changed via a “diamond cut” pattern on the back side that gives the PadFone Infinity a “higher end” look, according to online sources. Other than those few changes it appears that the remaining features are the same as the ones that were showcased earlier this year. That includes a 5-inch touch screen display with a 1080p HD resolution, 2GB of RAM and a battery with 2400mAh.
The PadFone also has the ability to be installed inside of the 10-inch PadFone Station bringing the display size up and adding more usage time with an addition battery pack. Other specs included with the PadFone Infinity are the 13MP camera on the back side of the device, but ASUS added a new PixelMaster feature that can combine pixels to produce a very clear, 3MP photo. Having a photo that is higher quality and worth sharing will be nice, but that the same time it won’t take up a ton of space, so your internal memory will be free.
