Asus PadFone 3 - Another metallic device in the making

In 2007, Apple iPhone changed the ergonomics of design. It was a smartphone crafted with bold aluminum moves. This year, HTC One, became instant hit because of its serene metallic body. So, Asus also planning to launch something similar to what other manufacturers are doing to differentiate themselves.

Asus has teased power button of its upcoming device. And it appears to be a metallic one. By showing a button crafted with metal itself signals that the device all together made from some premium material. The beauty is not out yet, one has to wait until MWC starts.

Many believe that the device could be a Windows Phone 8 powered smartphone. It could be, but chances are little. If this device is the Asus PadFone 3 then by any means, it's running Android Jelly Bean. Generally, WP8 devices come in plastic styled body (through they have high quality) and on the top of it differentiates with colorful architecture. Nokia had gone for unibody polycarbonate design for Lumia 920 and ditto with HTC. It is unlikely that this teased image hints at WP8 device.
