Cons: Below-average smartphone battery life; Bezel on tablet too large; Performance trails flagship Android devices
The Verdict: ASUS' PadFone X is an innovative and affordable hybrid that doubles as smartphone and tablet, but it's better in the former modeASUS' new PadFone X for AT&T is the Voltron of mobile devices. The first ASUS handset to land on a major U.S. carrier since the ill-fated Garminphone, the PadFone is a standard 5-inch Android smartphone. But strap this device into its included 9-inch tablet dock, and you've got a fully functioning slate. What's more, both the handset and tablet sport crisp, full-HD displays. At just $199 with a two-year contract through AT&T, the PadFone X is an intriguing device at an aggressive price. Despite some flaws, this is one combo device that's worth checking out.
