Asus PadFone E sits between Mini and PadFone X

Asus has announced yet another PadFone version that sits between the flagship PadFone X and the PadFone Mini — the midrange Asus PadFone E.

While the PadFone X was intended only for AT&T in the US, Asus announced a more affordable version of the smartphone and tablet dock in Taiwan.

As for the hardware, it seems the PadFone E is even less impressive than the PadFone 2 which was out over a year ago.

Asus PadFone E specs:
4.7-inch IPS LCD display @ 1280×720 pixels (phone)
10-inch IPS LCD display @1280×800 pixel (dock)
Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.2GHz quad-core processor
Adreno 305 Graphics
1GB RAM
16GB internal storage
3G/HSPA+
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 4.0
GPS with aGPS support
Android 4.3 Jellybean
Li-Ion 1,820mAh battery (phone)
Li-Ion 5,000mAh battery (dock)

The PadFone is is priced at $560 in Taiwan so we’re expecting a little more than Php25,000 for the smartphone and tablet when it is eventually released in the Philippines.

We’re not crossing our fingers though since the PadFone 2 and the PadFone Infinity were never really released in the Philippines since they were announced in previous years.
