Asus has unveiled their new Padfone Infinity today, providing a flagship for their smartphone/tablet hybrid series.
As with other PadFones, the Infinity is a smartphone that can turn into a tablet when docked into a station.
The device will ship with Android 4.2 and be powered by a 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor with an Adreno 320 GPU. The screen is 5-inches and has a 1080p 1,920 x 1,080 resolution with 441 ppi.
Asus has boasted about the phone's cameras, which are a 2MP front-side camera and a rear LED flash 13MP f/2.0 aperture with lagless shutter speeds. Additionally, "the camera can capture up to 100 sequential photos at 8 frames per second, while simultaneously recording 1080p HD video," says Cnet.
The station itself is a 10.1-inch screen with 1,920 x 1,200-pixel resolution, a 1MP front-facing camera, a USB port, LTE and a 5,000mAh battery.
Unfortunately, the price will kill any sales, as the Infinity with station costs 999 euros. There is no U.S. release planned.
