This 2012 will have many points to highlight as far as mobile telephony is concerned. It will be the year of the expansion of fourth-generation LTE networks, when we see the arrival of quad-core processors or even the proliferation of high-resolution screens. It will also help tablets continue to invade the market, trying to snatch market share from the laptop segment and, to a much lesser extent, from mobiles.
Regarding the latter, with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note, a gap was opened with which smartphone manufacturers can protect themselves against the invasion of tablets. Faced with this perspective, the Taiwanese Asus has chosen to pull down the middle street, presenting a mobile that serves as the operating heart of a tablet to which it connects as if it were a dock: the Asus PadFone.
This device may be analyzed at the appointment next February in Barcelona, the Mobile World Congress 2012. This was confirmed by the firm itself Asian, showing the model of this terminal hybrid to date with the latest innovations in the sector. Among them, it will show the new Google operating system or the most advanced processor from Californian NVIDIA.
In this way, the Asus PadFone will be seen at the Barcelona event equipped with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich -ICS- platform, which is precisely the first developed by Google with the aim of working interchangeably on tablets and smartphones , with which it will charge a special sense in this peculiar device.
Furthermore, the Asus PadFone will be equipped with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor. This chip has already been seen in the C ES 2012 in the bowels of the Acer Iconia Tab A700, operating with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz. However, it is not confirmed if this Asus PadFone will operate at the same speed.
