ASUS Padfone 2 Android 4.1 update starts to roll out

It's a Jelly Bean update for the ASUS Padfone 2

The ASUS Padfone 2 is a versatile handset as it also powers a tablet that can be turned into a laptop computer. With all of the heavy lifting that the phone does, it's a good thing that ASUS really beefed up the specs with the sequel. The ASUS Padfone 2 is a high-end model on its own with the quad-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 under the hood. Throw in 2GB of RAM, a 13MP shooter in back and you have a phone that clearly has a seat at the table with other top-shelf models.

ASUS has always been very quick to update its tablets and now we are happy to report that the ASUS Padfone 2 is receiving Android 4.1.1 right now via an OTA update. And the beauty of the Padfone system is that since the phone is now running Android 4.1.1, so is your tablet and lap top configurations. Why, it's almost magical!
