Asus PadFone price in India tagged at Rs. 64,999, up for grabs with free shipping

Asus PadFone

While the PadFone 2 is expected to be unveiled next week, its predecessor is soon to be launched in the country and so the Asus Padfone price in India has been announced at Rs. 64,999 already. The device in question made its first appearance at the Computex 2011 and it’s even available for purchase in the US for around $860.

Starting from a mere mobile phone, this device can conveniently take on a tablet form factor when users simply slide it into the 10.1-inch PadFone Station. And to throw in a dose of productivity, users can latch on the Station Dock which is an external keyboard and utilize the Stylus Headset to scribble down notes as well as attend to calls. To build this 3-in-1 combination, the company has implemented none other than its own Zen design philosophy which is visible on the ZenBook series. Both, the handset and the slate extension, have a concentric circle finish which is said to deliver a comfortable grip apart from a stylish appearance.

The Android Ice Cream Sandwich platform runs the show here through a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display that proffers a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels and features a Corning Gorilla Glass coating for enhanced durability. The Station accessory flaunts a 10.1-inch touch panel with a 1280 x 800p HD resolution and it has the same scratch-resistant surface as the handset. Powering up the device is a 1.5GHz dual core processor backed by 1GB LPDDR2 RAM.

Potential buyers can head over to eBay.in and purchase the Asus PadFone that’s tagged at a price of Rs. 64,999, as mentioned earlier.
