Asus PadFone S price in Malaysia starts from RM579, and what you're getting is a phone built around Qualcomm's Snapdragon 801 chipset, paired with Adreno 330 graphics and 2 GB RAM. That was solid mid-2014 flagship territory. The 5.0-inch Super IPS+ LCD display keeps the phone compact at 150g, and 16 GB of onboard storage stretches further with microSD support up to 64 GB.

The standout idea here is the PadFone Station: dock the phone into this 9-inch shell and you get a 1920x1200 tablet display backed by a 4990 mAh battery, well beyond what the phone's own 2300 mAh cell offers on its own. The rear camera shoots 13 MP stills and handles 4K video capture, while the front 2 MP camera covers basic video calls at 1080p.

Connectivity checks the usual boxes for the era: NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi with 802.11ac, LTE Cat4, and Bluetooth 4.0. It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box, and comes in Titanium Black, Platinum White, or Dark Ruby.
