Revealed in a "one more thing" style yesterday, the ASUS Padfone S smartphone can slot into a 9-inch display tablet dock so you can get the best of both worlds with either a 5-inch display smartphone or a 9-inch display tablet. Both offer full HD 1080p pixel resolutions and the Padfone S definitely looks very premium with a brushed metal frame and rounded backside. According to ASUS Malaysia, the Padfone S has been drop tested from 150cm, which is about chest height and has IPX2 water resistance. In addition to these features, it also has tech specs which are top of the line but is only priced at just RM899 for the smartphone. The dock will be sold separately for RM499 and the Malaysia release date for the Padfone S is expected to be around 15 October 2014.
