Asus PadFone X Companies often combine old products to give you something new.
This summer, AsusTek Computer 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 US for the first time.
In some cases, apps switch to the tablet screen automatically, so you don’t have to restart the video or renew the mail app. In other cases, you’ll have to close the app and reopen it after attaching the phone to the tablet screen.
For apps that have been optimized for tablets, the outline on the PadFone rearranges automatically to use the extra space. Yet it’s fundamentally a phone. You can make calls in tablet mode, using earphones or the device’s speakerphones.
