Features, Performance, and Reviews for the PadFone X mini 8GB

The camera function of PadFone X mini 8GB

The performance of the "PadFone X mini 8GB"'s main camera is rather low with only 5.0MP pixels. If you take a lot of pictures, then you'll likely be dissatisfied with what this camera has to offer.

The "PadFone X mini 8GB" comes equipped with a 2.0MP pixel front-facing camera, which is very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your videos or photos, it might be fine, but otherwise, we recommend a smartphone at least one tier higher.

The "PadFone X mini 8GB"'s battery capacity is 2060.0mAh, a standard level for these types of phones. Compared to other smartphones, the "PadFone X mini 8GB" has a standard battery life. It should not be a problem for normal use. However, if you spend a lot of time online or playing games, you may find the battery life a bit dissatisfying.

PadFone X mini 8GB 's size

The "PadFone X mini 8GB" is 66.3mm wide, 132.1mm tall, and 12.7mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "PadFone X mini 8GB", it weighs about 148.8g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

Both the size and weight of the "PadFone X mini 8GB" make it easy to hold in your hand and are unlikely to cause any trouble when you use it normally.

PadFone X mini 8GB 's screen

PadFone X mini 8GB 's storage capacity

The "PadFone X mini 8GB" has 8.0GB of data storage. This is fine if you mainly use email or social media sites, but if you plan to take photos and videos or play games, you should buy an upgrade.
