It will run on Android 4.4 KitKat and will feature a 5MP rear-facing camera, a 2MP front-facing camera, and the tablet module will sport a 1MP front-facing camera.
It will also come with a 2,060mAh battery for the smartphone, which according to ASUS is good for about 15.8 hours of use, and will last as long as 28.3 hours when docked into the tablet. The ASUS PadFone X mini will be priced at $199.99 with no annual contract via AT&T’s GoPhone service.
