ASUS Livens Up Your Life with PadFone Infinity in Hot
Pink and Champagne Gold

The
award-winning latest Android smartphone-tablet hybrid refreshes with two new colours

Singapore (16 August, 2013) — ASUS, a
global leader in the new digital era, today announced the Hot Pink and
Champagne Gold versions of the award-winning PadFone™ Infinity, which has redefined the smartphone experience
with its unique two-in-one feature and powerful performance. Starting from 17
August, the three colours – Titanium Gray, Hot Pink and Champagne Gold – will
be available at StarHub, M1 and ASUS authorised retailers* at S$898 and S$998
for the 32GB and 64GB models respectively. Both prices are exclusive of the
tablet station, which is retailing at S$368.

Award-winning
innovation

Officially unveiled in Singapore in May earlier this
year, the PadFone Infinity has received
numerous rave reviews for its responsive performance and top-notch product
quality. The predecessors – ASUS PadFone and PadFone 2, have set a solid
foundation for ASUS smartphones in 2012, bagging critically acclaimed awards
including the CES 2012 Best of Innovations award, a Best Choice Gold award at
Computex 2012, Good Design Award 2012 and iF Design Award 2013. The PadFone Infinity has continued this
trend and has won a Red Dot Design Award and the Computex d&i Award in
2013.

A 5-inch full HD display that instantaneously becomes a
10.1-inch tablet when docked into the station, the PadFone Infinity features Android 4.1 and next-generation Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ 600 processor with quad-core CPU.

As a leader in the Android tablet market with the
innovative Transformer Pad and Fonepad Series of hybrid mobile devices, the
same “Design Thinking” philosophy is also applied to the ASUS smartphones
series. The PadFone Infinity follows
the same award-winning concept that continues to tear up the smartphone design
rulebook with its innovative 2-in-1 form factor, with the Infinity applying
significant improvements that include updates to the display and performance in
both phone and pad to deliver a class-leading device.

“The PadFone
Infinity is the latest evolution of our PadFone line. It is ASUS’ most
beautiful and ambitious phone yet, and we are very proud of it,” said Jonney
Shih, ASUS Chairman. “The PadFone Infinity embodies everything that ASUS is all
about – Relentless pursuit for perfection in our innovative products.”

Irresistible
object of desire

Sporting a slender
unibody design crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium with a brushed metal
finish and diamond cut edge, the PadFone
Infinity looks premium and beautiful from every angle. Its design
incorporates gentle curves to fit in the hand better, while slightly exposing
the lines in the brushed finish to provide a better grip. It is highly durable
too, as its unibody frame is twice-anodised to provide resistance to corrosion
and damage.

Featuring a 1,920 x
1,080 full HD resolution with an ultra-sharp IPS display of 441 pixels per
inch, reading and watching videos on the phone are never an issue with the
wonderfully detailed high resolution images. Up to 64GB of storage complements
the class-leading Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 1.7GHz processor with
quad-core CPU for a smooth and responsive premium Android experience, while
100Mbit/s LTE and 42Mbit/s DC-HSPA+ ensure super-fast web browsing and
downloads.

The PadFone Infinity has up to 19 hours of
3G talk time, which increases up to 40 hours when docked into the station. The PadFone
Infinity Station also has sufficient battery capacity to fully recharge the
docked PadFone Infinity up to three
times.

High performance camera

The PadFone Infinity features a
13-megapixel camera with an f/2.0 five-element lens that captures incredibly
detailed images, with no shutter lag. A dedicated image signal-processor enhances low-light image
quality and enables the PadFone Infinity
to capture up to 100 sequential photos at eight frames-per-second,
while simultaneously recording 1080p full HD video. The PadFone Infinity can also output 1080p full
HD video via its micro-USB-compatible MyDP
port. Besides, there is a
range of shutter activation modes available, including a new voice activated
shutter, which allows users to take pictures using voice command.

Redefine your audio
experience

Co-developed
with Bang & Olufsen, the ASUS SonicMaster audio technology is featured in
the PadFone Infinity. With bass
chambers and 32% larger speakers than other leading smartphones to produce
wide, dynamic range and impressive volume, the PadFone Infinity creates a surreal, surround audio impact that
improves the overall user entertainment experience. Coupled with the
AudioWizard app, users can further optimize the sound by tweaking to one of the
five different preset scenarios – Movie, Music, Gaming, Record or Speech.

Share apps and mobile data instantly on-the-go

The unique two-in-one nature of the PadFone Infinity removes the tedious need to synchronise data
between smartphone and tablet. Data and settings on the PadFone Infinity are available instantly
on the station upon docking, and running apps are smoothly reformatted to fit
the larger display. Mobile data bills are also reduced,
since a single data plan can be shared between both devices.

The PadFone Infinity also comes with new
and exclusive ASUS apps, including SuperNote 3.1 for note taking, ASUS Story for
creating stunning photo albums and ASUS Echo for voice control of the PadFone Infinity.

Dress up your PadFone Infinity

Available from 17
August, both the side flip covers and station transleeve for PadFone
Infinity and PadFone Infinity Station will be available in both Hot
Pink and Titanium Gray colours. Both items will retail at S$68 and S$88
respectively at all main StarHub shops.

Availability and pricing

Starting 17 August,
the PadFone Infinity now comes in three colours and will be available at
StarHub, M1 and ASUS authorised retailers.*

Both mobile operators will offer the
phone-tablet hybrid device at a range of attractive mobile price plans that
will allow customers to connect to the respective DC-HSPA+ mobile networks. Consumers can also purchase the smartphone and tablet station
separately at the selected ASUS authorised retailers.
