A few days ago, info on a new PadFone device emerged online suggesting that ASUS was preparing a mini flavor of the smartphone-tablet combo, and a leaked image has already popped up to confirm that.

Coming from @evleaks, it provides us with a glimpse at the upcoming smartphone from both back and front, while also supposedly confirming its name: ASUS PadFone mini 4.3.

ASUS is expected to make the device official as soon as the next week, with a 4.3-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a 960 x 540 pixels resolution, as well as with a 7-inch tablet dock attached.

Furthermore, the handset is said to be powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 400 MSM8226 processor and to run under Google’s Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system. It should land on shelves with dual-SIM capabilities packed inside.
