Comparisons Featuring Asus PadFone X mini
Short Review
- The Asus PadFone X mini features a compact design with dimensions of 132.1 x 66.3 x 12.7 mm and a weight of 148.8g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS+ LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by an Intel Atom Z2560 chipset with a dual-core 1.6 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 2 MP front camera is available for selfies.
- The 2060 mAh battery offers moderate longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but there is no support for 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and features a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the PadFone X mini is a straightforward device with essential features, suitable for users seeking simplicity.
- Its design and performance cater to basic smartphone needs without advanced functionalities.
