Asus PadFone X - User Reviews

  • I'd be pleased for a SD845 with 6 GB Ram, 64/128 GB storage, 5.2inch 16:9 FHD. and a fair battery of 3,350 mAh. while the dock will be a 12.2incher FHD with an impressive 11Ah battery. Front cam: Phone 8MP, Dock 5 MP. rear will be 12 MP dualcam.

  • Have been using this since 2014. Dropped it a few times and broke it this year making the screen on the phone not responsive, still running fine as a tablet. Only complaint is the lack of update. A lot of apps are not compatible nowadays although it has enough power to handle it. I wanted to buy the S version on Amazon but they shipped me a X!! I love the concept of convertible and not needing to transfer data over the cloud. I would get it again if they revive the series.

  • I wish Asus would've returned to make such devices with updated hardware. true. the optimisation is not particularly great. but being able to switch from phone to tablet at whim is gorgeous idea! the new device should be 5.2inch FHD with SD821 4 GB ram/64 storage. and 3,200 mAh battery while the thablet should be 11,7inch FHD with 9Ah battery.

  • Hate my Padfone X. it displays a 4g network, but never works properly. The network signal always fails and displays "emergency call only". To restaure it, the only option is to restart the device. After restarting, the signal is seen for a few moment, just the time to send a msg on whatsapp. I dont konw how resolve this issue. Is there someone who can grant me an idea? Please....!

  • Go to XDA-developers forums. You can actually root and unlock the bootloader to load in the PF500KL (Padfone S) Lollipop ROM on it. They're apparently working on Marshmallow but they're already 3 months past due on it so I wouldn't hold your breath for that. :)

  • i had two warranty replacements as well. i finally gave up on the phone once i realized they were never going to update it past 4.4.2. it was a great device before 4.4.2 lost so much apps support - youtube in particular.

  • I have two Asus PadFone X devices. Both have been erratic since last Software Update. Phones will restart themselves randomly. Unable to make/receive phone calls. No Network/SIM error, Behaves as if devices are going in/out of Airplane Mode, but Airplane Mode is unchecked. Multiple Factory Resets and disabling Auto Update of Apps have NOT resolved issue. We have had our phones forwarded to Google Voice just so we can communicate. I am an STNA Care Giver for my companion with MS. He wears an Emergency Lifeline Pendant to alert me if he should fall. If the Alarm company is unable to reach us on either of our devices, they will dispatch the Emergency Squad! Neither AT&T/Asus will admit to this as being their responsibility and are REFUSING to offer NO COST options until there is a RESOLUTION to the CORRUPT SOFTWARE ISSUE. Oddly, this all happened almost exactly 2 years to the day of contract!

  • Finally, get myself it's cousin Padfone S Plus 3GB RAM, 64GB internal storage version with tablet station and keyboard dock at $200, unlocked, at my country. The phone itself cost around $125. Tablet station itself is $50, and keyboard dock $25. Upgraded to Android 5.0. The tablet itself is very heavy, notice degradation in performance on tablet mode, camera only 5.5MP on tablet mode. Tablet dock itself has no OTG feature, only for charging. The dual speaker of the tablet also is pretty bad. Anyway, with this 64GB version selling at this price, and still come with Micro SD slot, and SD801 processor, it is the best budget smartphone, tablet hybrid and netbook with keyboard. The keyboard connect using bluetooth connection, and don't supply power to the phone.

  • I've been wondering. I'm on my 3rd warranty replacement and this one is not working that well. Now the warranty has run out. I have literally had a working padphone for approximately 30% of the last three years over which I have been paying for it. I have lost business calls for weeks because of this phone.

  • What's the name of the app?pleas

  • same problem stuck with the airplane mode. At&t and Asus don't have the solution the problem!! I spent hours to find out the way it. Any suggestions???

  • the phone is very fast and nice, but the battery life suck's , especially in navigation mode

  • Amazing is a small word. I blind buy this thing. For a moment i thought I am going greedy for a TAB+cell but believe me it was the most amazing thing happened to me.This stuff works wonders.Amazing Camera. 3D works like LG G3. best front cam for selfies until now. best apps by ASUS already in there. and the TAB..... tell me which tab is 2.3GHz quad-core in market at the same prize? I highly recommend it to everyone. 10/10+

  • this mobile phone it comes with tablet and also for business men they can take two mobilephones which are asus padfone x with them to their work ha yes they can do it?

  • get padfone x save $300, then flash padfone s firmware ...like a boss

  • get padfone s, its the same

  • I just upgraded to the padfone x from an old nokia e5. I am a cheap straighttalk user....I like the fixed 50 bucks a month. It is a large phone to carry but, I like the bigger screen and I like to play games on the even bigger screen tablet....nice, quick plugin and go feature. The battery time seemed short and so I installed an app minder to kill the extra ATT junk and now I get a full day out of it-no problem. I may be just about dead on battery time when I get home and I can slide it into the tablet and wow(!)...big screen, living of the tablet battery and continuing on. I ditched my 600$ ipad for this 220$ phone and tablet. I am pleased with the switch!

  • yes it has LED for notification both on pad and phone

  • I wish it will be released for Asia.

  • does the phone have a notification LED?

  • This is one of the best investments I ever made. I own an unlocked version. Everything works smoothly. I manage a full working day off a charge using 4g when I am moving around so its a work station. The volume could be louder bit I can hear it ring and my calls are clear. When paired with the station. its a whole new experience l have read some negative reviews and I wonder if we are talking about the same product. At the end of the day we all comment based on our experience and mine has been positive. I look forward to any upgrade. Too many so-called expert reviews are overly subjective in my humble opinion. That is why there is the concept of choice based on needs. The padfone x suits my needs. Amen. Typed on my Asus padfone X.

  • hate when my pad phone that glitch you got stuck in airplane mode they said it was a switch inside the phone in the Asus I had to send it back to them they replace my phone for freeso it's a manufacturer defect so I be on their ass about it don't let him get away with it

  • same problem here - stuck in perpetual airplane mode - neither asus nor att will help - anyone considering a class action lawsuit here?

  • This i s thee wors e oi ecd that is a good example.this is the worse piece of electronic equipment i've ever purchased. The pad didnt work after three days,had to return it. Letters skipp lin es,i get em ails over 24 hours late,never had this problem before.a lot of times the phone and or pad want go to the tab you touch,or most of time ant go at all.I have to const antly reboot i t. Im leaving some imperfections on purposes to show how difficult it is. The worst is it just doesnt go on tabs to where and ho w it sho uld go. AS YOU can see it ta kes forever to send a message or write anything you have to constantly go back and corr ect everything. Now im stuck with this worthless phone for a long while.

  • I have the EXACT problem. I'm now waiting on my 5th one. They all bricked and were stuck in airplane mode when they finally powered on. AT&T referred me to the manufacturer. I spoke with two Asus reps who told me the serial number for the phone AT&T sent me weren't in their system. FTW

  • dude this phone sucks you never wanna know about da battery life but totally agree that this is a high end mobile but moto G 2generation better than this and its lot low price.peace

  • Phone is horrible I suggest this phone to no one I've had this phone since July this is currently my 3rd one my first one crashed turned back on and was stuck in airplane mode had it replaces for free second one lasted a little long crashed turned back on and couldn't get it to read service or 4g said it was damaged again got another one free had it for four days crashed turned back on and airplane mode was stuck again finally had enough fought and fought with Asus company waiting for them to send me a totally new phone this phone absolutely sucks but when it works with out the glitches and being slow its actually a pretty cool concept other than that I do not recommend this phone.

  • Me and my mother both love ours. Best electronics purchase made in years.

  • bought it. had for 10 days. took it back. basically the phone is a pretty high end phone. The tablet is a complete and total dud.

  • No. It only works when you plug in the cellphone.

  • i would like to know if the tablet works without connecting the cell phone into it ?

  • Is it going to be $199USD? What about Malaysia? Probably the price is not gonna be the same. Does it work smoothly? Please people, tell me. Is it even gonna be available here in Malaysia, knowing that it's AT&T? And if it will be, will the price be the same? What would it be, then? Where can I get it from?

  • Endurace rating is 80 hours. That's good. Better than S5 in that aspect.

  • is true

  • Non-removable Li-Po 2300 mAh battery - This just says it all. Battery life sucks.
