Editorial note

The Asus PadFone S stands out with its 5-inch screen featuring a Full HD resolution, providing an immersive display quality for multimedia content. Its 2.3 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor allows for fast performance, although the 2 GB RAM capacity may limit the experience when using multiple applications simultaneously. The 13 MP rear camera with autofocus and flash is an asset for capturing quality photos, even in low-light conditions. However, it is important to note that the 16 GB internal storage capacity can quickly prove insufficient, especially if the device is not used with a microSD card. Additionally, the front camera of only 2 MP may disappoint those looking to take high-quality selfies. The Android 4.4 operating system is outdated and may not receive updates, posing security issues and access to new applications. In terms of design, the Asus PadFone S is lightweight and compact, making it easy to hold and carry. However, some users may find it a bit heavy. Overall, while the product offers good value for money with interesting features, the limitations in storage and operating system may reduce its overall appeal.
