Description & Specs
Unlike the equally new PadFone X, we have quite some information on what the the PadFone mini has going for it in terms of hardware. The aforementioned 4-inch TFT panel sports a WVGA resolution of 480×800 pixels, or about 233ppi, while the tablet dock touts a slightly less-crisp 800×1280 pixel TFT display (~215ppi). In charge of all the brain-work are a 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 chipset and 1GB of LPDDR2 RAM, both of which should provide a mostly smooth experience, considering the manageable pixel count. On the photography front, things are looking even better, for an 8-megapixel Sony-made BSI unit with f/2.0 aperture and five-element lens is what we’re dealing with. We’re actually told to expect some pretty awesome low-light shots and an easy-to-use interface, thanks to Asus’ proprietary PixelMaster software, though do keep in mind that this is likely more of a marketing talk than anything else.
