Right on time with all the best ingredients: a powerful and efficient quad-core processor, a powerful graphics engine, a large mobile display, best-in-class camera performance, LTE and a super-slick user experience. And that's just the phone alone!

The bulkiness of the original model is totally gone and we're still blown away by the combo's new weight. But first, the phone: in our hands, it really just feels like an enlarged version of the original PadFone, especially with the ripple pattern on the back.
There's still the feeling that the Asus Padfone is a little niche. It's a nice enough smartphone with competitive performance, but there are a number of compromises you have to live with on the tablet front should you take this hybrid solution.
Having improved on many of the PadFone's shortcomings, the Asus PadFone 2 is a worthwhile upgrade for fans of the original version. ... If having a good camera and the latest OS aren't first on your list of priorities, the PadFone is worth a look.
If the Padfone 2 provided a perfect phone and tablet experience we might be more forgiving of the lack of microSD card slot. However, as it stands, there’s very little to recommend this over practically any other tablet and phone combination at the price.
The best in its category. We highly recommend it. - Engadget

I bought it in China with the tablet. The sliding mechanism and dock is awesome.

I love it. I am past to Padfone from S2. I like the screen and the asus's system.There are only 1 problem: the pad station is not the best as screen. And there are less quality apps support (like all other Android tablets...)

A happy user here. Top-notch hardware, good design, awesome camera, NFC and, of course, the tablet dock - Padfone 2 will do everything you ask for.Another thanks to ASUS, their newest devices are out-of-this world. Now i have a UX32VD Zenbook and a Padfone 2 - and that's all i need for work, studies and leisure. Once again, good damn job!!!
