85% Review Asus New Padfone Smartphone | Notebookcheck
Duo. Asus offers the fourth generation of its tablet-smartphone combination with the New Padfone. There has been enough time to improve every aspect of the concept and get rid of initial problems, but was the manufacturer successful?

Das new Padfone ist die interessanteste Variante eines Tablets seit Langem. Wem der gleichzeitige Betrieb eines Smartphones und eines Tablets zu umständlich ist, der sollte sich auch vom stolzen Preis des Komplettsets nicht von einer Anschaffung abbringen lassen.

Asus PadFone X: First Impressions
Source: NDTV Gadgets English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
This summer, AsusTek Computer Inc. claims you don't need both a phone and a tablet - as long as you get its new PadFone X. The PadFone works like any other phone and has a screen that measures 5 inches diagonally. When you want a tablet experience, you simply slip the phone into a slot on the back of the tablet display, which is included. All the apps on the phone now work on the 9-inch tablet. The phone is what runs the tablet. Asus is bringing this concept to the U.S. for the first time.

Asus PadFone X review: Like no other
Source: GSM Arena English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
After spending enough time pondering over the good and the bad about the Asus PadFone X, we realized that the hybrid device could well be the ultimate Android offering for user seeking the most value for their money. The gadget does everything a flagship device is expected to do, but with the added benefit of full-sized tablet functionality. It deserves a spot on the shopping list of anyone who wants top-notch hardware in a phone and tablet, but can't stretch his/her budget for two standalone devices.

Source: Engadget English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
If I've seemed unduly harsh on the Padfone X, it's because I still think there's a place in the world for a hybrid like this. Sadly, despite years of tinkering with the same formula, ASUS couldn't completely stick the landing this time around. For all the gripes I've leveled at this thing, though, I've had to mentally repeat one sentence like a mantra throughout my weeks of testing: all of this is just $200 with a contract.

Asus PadFone X: A Smartphone-Tablet Hybrid Better in Concept Than Execution
Source: Recode English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Like a lot of two-in-one devices, the price of convenience comes with sacrifices. Asus PadFone X isn’t an exceptional smartphone nor is it an outstanding tablet. But if you want both and don’t have a lot of cash to spend, it’s certainly worth consideration.

70% ASUS PadFone X
Source: Laptop Mag English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The PadFone X is an intriguing device that packs a smartphone and tablet into a single, affordable package. On their own, the two devices are good, but not great. The handset's battery life is relatively short, while the slate is on the heavy side with a distractingly large bezel. Together, though, they make the PadFone X a fairly impressive hybrid at an aggressive price.

70% ASUS PadFone X review: a beginner’s flagship with a tablet in the box
Source: Pocketnow English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The PadFone X isn’t the world’s most attractive smartphone … or tablet. It’s cumbersome, it’s bulky, and whether it offers enough convenience to overcome these setbacks is an open question. In today’s cloud-oriented mobile world, the average person could easily approximate the PadFone’s convenience with a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 10 using Android’s built in handovers, or an iPad and an iPhone using Continuity.

80% Asus PadFone X (AT&T)
Source: PC Mag English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The fact is, though, the people most likely to be attracted to the PadFone concept are also probably the type that already own a tablet. And as a smartphone alone, the PadFone X is still a great option, but not quite on the same level as the Galaxy S5 or HTC One (M8). The GS5 is faster, lasts longer, and has a better camera. The HTC One (M8) is the most beautiful phone on the market and has better overall performance as well. Either of those options are better for anyone who already owns a modern tablet, but if you're in the market for a tablet and smartphone upgrade, the PadFone X is a great deal and a solid option.
