ASUS confirms PadFone 2 will come to the UK ‘early next year’

New smartphone/tablet combo will hit British shores in 2013

ASUS PR has confirmed to TechRadar that the PadFone 2 will “definitely” be coming to the UK “early next year”.

ASUS announced the PadFone 2 earlier this week at a launch event in Milan. We have it listed on the Clove website in anticipation of SIM-free pricing and availability coming through. As soon as we’ve had anything official, we’ll make it available to pre-order and let you know.  Enter your email address in our ‘notify me’ box on the product page to be updated as soon as we have further details.

Here’s a preview video and coverage of the press conference in Milan:

ASUS announces the PadFone 2–lighter, faster & more secure

New tablet-smartphone combo announced by ASUS.

ASUS has officially announced the PadFone 2, an Android smartphone/tablet combo that offers the most converged tech solution to date. Improving on the design of its predecessor, the PadFone 2 is significantly lighter (down to 649g from 853g), faster and has a more secure docking system.

Android Central

ASUS is better known for its Android tablets than smartphones, but its Transformer tablet range is well respected within the market, so much so that it worked with Google to manufacture the Nexus 7.  If the PadFone 2 lives up to the promises being made on paper, it could be a great device. For more information see the docking demo video, press release and main features below.
