HC, 13 Apr 2013I am a supporter of ASUS laptops, bought 2 in 3 years, and ... moreYou are 100% right about the stupid ASUS support team, the time i am writing this my Padfone 2 has been to repair for now 32 days, still haven't got it back, called them twice, says too popular device doesn't have parts. Reason its in repair, i encountered with more than 10 different problems after 6 weeks of use.

I am a supporter of ASUS laptops, bought 2 in 3 years, and recommended everyone in the family to buy their laptops. i used the padfone 2 for 3 months already, and i would not recommend it, sadly.
a) it heats up quickly. [i have used other smart phones, this is the "hottest", literally]
b) of the 3 months of ownership, it went back to service centre twice, and what is really frustrating is the "state of denial" and attitude of the service centre, the excuses given are plain stupid, like "you installed free games like angry birds that would consume a lot of power in the background even if you don't play it" - oh i see, how come the same games does not have problems on other phones? the birds are angry at Asus only?
c) the biggest point that turned me off, and the reason it was back to the service centre was for battery problem -- battery goes down to critical level in 4 hours, on standby mode (mobile data on, but wifi off). after they finally reluctantly changed a new battery for me, it improved to 8 hours standby - even if you don't use your phone, you will need to charge it every day, and if you use it, you have to charge it every half a day, slight improvement of having a cable connected and having it charged every hour.
overall, a big disappointment!

AnonD-59527, 06 Apr 2013Can anyone say what is the advantage of padfone2 rather tha... moreCheck out the conclusion page of GSM arena's review. It will be clear that a phone and a tablet combo will cost u more than the padfone2. Other advantages are
1. U don't need to have a separate data plan for tablet
2. All ur apps, music and movies will be in sync. U don' t have to download ur favourite apps twice
3. The station acts as a portable charger. U can charge ur phone with it.

I have this padfone for 3 weeks, previously had Samsung galaxy S.
While specifications and hardware quality specially camera is awesome, I think phone management software needs to be revised. Many basic features in contacts management and sms/callingeasily found in even cheap phones are not available here . For example ,sending business card or one contact toother persons through "send business card" feature is nit possible. Calling or sms among recent list of contacts also missing. When u open contacts u must push extra watch button for finding desired person(no default search box above contacts list). Overally the phone calling and text messaging are not user friendly. This features are above all others as the basic requirements. I hope that Asus will enhance all the features in upcoming upgrade to Jb 4.2. It`s a pity that this fantastic phone/tablet having such problems

APQ8064 CPU architecture is Krait, is near the Cortex-A15 architecture, not actually the A15, but Galaxy S4 come with a Quad-core A15 + Quad A7 chipset, developers uses A15 to benchmark the phone, still can't beats Qualcomm down and the Nvidia Tegra 4 kills it in a second. Samsung or other two? I prefer others.
