It's only been seven months since Asus announced the Padfone Infinity, but a new version of the phone-tablet mash-up is already on the way.
Just like the previous model, the new Padfone Infinity is two devices in one. The 5-inch Android smartphone slides into a 10-inch tablet through a dock on the tablet's back side, with the phone providing all the power for the larger screen.
The new Padfone Infinity packs a 2.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, versus the 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 600 chip on the original Infinity. Qualcomm has said that the Snapdragon 800 is more power efficient than the Snapdragon 600 while providing faster performance, though Asus hasn't given specifics on battery life for the new Padfone Infinity.
Asus is also cutting down the built-in storage options on the Padfone Infinity, from 32 GB and 64 GB to just 16 GB and 32 GB. To make up for this, Asus has added a microSD card slot to the phone, so users can add a lot more storage on the cheap.
