- ASUS PadFone 2

Computer maker ASUS has confirmed the upcoming availability in the UK of its new PadFone 2 phone-in-tablet combo for the beginning of the next year, but without an official release date available as of yet.

Asus UK Technical PR Adam King has confirmed to TechRadar the company’s plans for this device: "We will definitely be getting it early next year. As to [exactly] when I can't say, but we'll hopefully have some more details before the end of this year."

PadFone 2 was made official earlier this week with a large 4.7-inch touchscreen display, a powerful quad-core processor packed inside, a 13-megapixel photo snapper on the back, and Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system loaded on it.

The smartphone also comes with 2GB of RAM, a 2,140mAh battery, NFC capabilities, front camera, and access to 50GB free ASUS WebStorage for two years.
