When smartphone meets PDA, you get Planet Computers’ Astro Slide 5G. This transformer smartphone features a RockUp sliding hinge mechanism that enables the touchscreen to slide up, revealing a backlit QWERTY keyboard that turns it into a mini laptop of sorts. In this mode, the hinge tilts the brilliant 6.53″ (2,340 x 1080) display at the perfect angle for maximum productivity.
This Android 10 device is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1000 chipset with eight CPU cores / nine GPU cores / six APU cores, 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 128GB of internal storage, 48-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front camera, microSD expansion, a 4,000 mAh Li-ion battery, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, an eSIM slot, and a multi-boot option for Linux support. Plus, there’s a fingerprint reader for secure login, and NFC for contactless payments. Expect to shell out at least $545 when it hits stores in March 2021, or be a backer for their Indiegogo campaign. More information here.
