Once again, AT&T shows us that they have the best portfolio of devices in the business.

While companies like HTC (One max) and Nokia (Lumia 1520) are launching monstrous new devices that stretch the definition of a phablet to new heights, literally, Asus is taking a slightly different approach to expanding the popular category. AT&T on Monday announced from CES 2014 that it will soon launch the Asus PadFone X, a convertible device that stuffs a manageable 5-inch phablet into a perfectly sized 9-inch tablet. The phone itself includes a full HD display and Android 4.4 KitKat but when docked, it powers the larger tablet, which also features 1080p resolution and has its own battery.

“We are committed to delivering our customers the most innovative and compelling device portfolio,” said AT&T’s SVP of devices, Jeff Bradley. “The PadFone X is first of its kind in the U.S. It combines leading technology, a beautiful design and a remarkably seamless application experience – all on the nation’s fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. This allows consumers to run their smartphone apps instantly on a vivid 9-inch tablet display. The magic of it is that the experience is not just bigger, it’s better than on a traditional smartphone.”

Pricing and a firm launch date have not yet been announced.

LG’s banana phone is coming to America. AT&T announced on Monday from CES 2014 that it will launch LG’s first curved smartphone, the G Flex, sometime in the first quarter this year. The news is in line with earlier rumors, which also noted that T-Mobile will release the G Flex in 2014. LG also announced on Monday that Sprint will carry the G Flex in Q1 as well. While the curved 6-inch AMOLED display is the star of the show on LG’s latest phone, the G Flex also features a 2.26GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, a 3,500 mAh battery and Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Pricing isn’t yet available but AT&T’s full press announcement follows below.

The Padfone is an attractive looking phone

A shame the padfone is 5 inches. So now I have a mini tablet that turns into a big tablet. I wanted a smartphone instead that could be docked into the tablet accessory...

Asus is on it

I would pretty much dump my Android phone/iOS tablet combo with this. I wonder how expensive this will be.
