While we received an ASUS Padfone X mini to test for review purposes, all opinions remain our own and do not reflect that of AT&T nor ASUS.
Have you ever wished you could share content between your phone and ipad? Say you took a photo on your phone but you want to view it on the ipad on a bigger screen. Or maybe you are listening to your favorite song but want to watch the music video on a bigger screen. Well with a simple docking action now you can with the hot new ASUS Padfone X mini!
The ASUS Padfone X mini a value segment device on AT&T’s GoPhone plan. What makes it so unique is that it features a 4.5-inch 4G LTE smartphone that can transform into a palm-size 7-inch 4G LTE tablet when docked into its companion docking station.
The ASUS Padfone X mini is idea for Grandparents who might need a bigger screen for the smartphone, or for Teenagers, or for a younger generation. Check out some of the cool features and see it at work!
Both devices are powered by the 4G LTE smartphone and leverage its data plan and storage, eliminating the need for 2 data plans or syncing.
I love that thedocking station’s 2,200mAh battery can charge the smartphone’s 2,060mAh battery when docked. No more running out of battery while I’m out running errands. The ASUS Padfone X mini offers up to 15.8 hours of independent phone talk time and up to 28.3 hours of talk time when the phone is docked in the tablet!
And no phone is complete with out a camera app! This one features the PixelMaster Camera (5MP back, 2MP front) with auto-focus, LED flash and 1080p video recording. Featuring 12 shooting modes and a range of effects filters.
It also runs the ASUS ZenUI with Android 4.4 and features a wide range of integrated apps designed to make life easier, such as my personal favorite apps What’s Next and the Do it Later app
What’s Next connects to my Google Calender and helps me keep to my schedule and not miss an important meeting or business call.
The Do it Later app is a lifesaver as I am able to make notes of what I need to get accomplished throughout the day, week or month and set friendly reminders for myself to get it done. Plus there is the fun option of “checking” it off the list once you get it done.
The ASUS Padfone X Mini is powered by an Intel Atom processor Z2560 (Clover Trail+) and an Intel XMM 7160 LTE modem, ASUS PadFone X mini provides excellent performance for lightning fast web browsing and outstanding battery life so users can listen, watch, play and work on the go. PadFone X mini is the first smartphone sold in the U.S. with an Intel Atom SoC and Intel LTE solution.
My kids love the idea that they can dock the phone into the tablet and have a larger playing screen for their favorite app games. I love watching Youtube Videos!
But what is really great is not losing any info as you switch between phone or tablet mode. Because it is all stored directly on the phone, and is completely accessible when in tablet mode! No more missing photos, videos, or even “to do” notes when I switch between devices. That has been a dream.

I like the back and forth capabilities, and that it has 4G capabilities. Like you stated, big for older people, but small for the younger crowd.
