Gadgety has a lot ...!I touched the smartphone "Astro Slide 5g Transformer" that hides the full keyboard

If you think your smartphone has already evolved,

There was a guy who is trying to evolve ridiculously!

The name is "Astro Slide 5g Transformer".All conventional smartphone functions are posted, and of course 5G compatible.Although it is compact, the QWERTY keyboard is stored, and as you can see, it can be opened quickly with one action.Moreover, it is a smartphone that can be perverted both hard and soft, where you can dual installed Android 11 OS and Linux and customize it to your liking ...!

"Astro Slide 5g Transformer" is currently being raised in Japanese "Makuake" following the American crowdfunding site "Indiegogo".

Dr. Yanko, CEO of Planet Computers, the creator of Astro Slide.Janko Mrsic-Flogel) talked about its charm!

Smartphone where a PC is replaced

First, let's look at the specifications you care about.

The size is 172 high.4mm x width 76.5mm x thickness 17.It is 8mm and weighs about 300g.

Easy -to -understand comparisons are iPhone 13 Pro Max (height 160).8mm x width 78.1mm x thickness 7.Is it 65mm, weight 238g)?Since the thickness and weight are increased by the keyboard, I think that it will definitely be in the big category in the smartphone world.

If you have it, it's like this.It is a little heavy with one hand, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable in terms of size.

6.The 39 -inch AMOLED (organic EL) touch screen is a gorilla glass 3 with a resolution of 2340 x 1080.It is clear and beautiful.

Gemini PDA and Cosmo Communicator, which Planet Computers have been developed earlier, supported Landscape mode (horizontally long display), but this time ASTRO SLIDE can now be used in portrait mode (vertical display).。Moreover, if you set it, you can switch the vertical and horizontal and horizontally seamlessly with a single button!(It can be set with a smart button function, and other options are shown in the image above.)

The keyboard is stored under the screen.It is recommended to open it with both hands on the table to prevent falling before you get used to it.

Planet Computers' unique "Rock UP Technology" is fixed at an angle that is easy to see the screen.

When this happens, it is a small PC.

The sound of "jack" while sliding the screen, and the sound of "Cart!"

The full -mechanical keyboard that overturns the concept of "smartphone is difficult to typing" can be typed using both hands.Once you get used to it, even if you don't bother to carry a laptop, you can hit a long email on the go, or to create a hurry document creation.

It seems that the keyboard can be selected from all 24 kinds of layouts including the Kana key, and the keyboard mapping according to your liking is also possible.

The ultimate is the backlight of the keyboard.It was a brightness that could be typed with room even if the room was actually dark.It seems to be useful for notes during the meeting, and it was convinced that it was a specification that could be used anytime, anywhere.

Put all the functions you want on your smartphone

Introducing other than touch screen and keyboard.

It is equipped with a 48 -megapixel camera made by Sony and a 13 -megapixel inkame.

10W Qi wireless charging is also possible with NFC.Stereo speaker, microphone, 3.There are two 5mm audio jacks and USB-C ports (one is specialized in video output).

In addition to locking immediately with the fingerprint authentication button, there is also a physical button that can customize the operation to the user's preference called "smart button".This is actually developed in reflection of the user's voice, and it seems that various functions can be assigned to three actions: "click", "double -click", and "long click".

For example, you can switch the screen from a portrait mode to land scan mode instantly, take screenshots, start any app, and cycle inside the running app.It seems that you can customize it.

For hardware, it is equipped with 800 chips of 8 core MediaTek, and the maximum speed is down 2..39GB/s.It is very convenient to have a micro SD card slot in addition to 8GM RAM and 128GB memory.

As you can see from the image above, the SIM card tray is a specification that can fit two nanosim cards and one ESIM inside (simultaneous use of SIM, including ESIM.However, which ESIM to use can be managed / switched by the dedicated application).

You can also install Linux dual installation

From here on, it will be the area of people who remember your skills, but you can also introduce a Linux system.

If you partition the storage in the same way as a personal computer, you can introduce typical Linux distributions such as Kali, Debian, Ubuntu, and run mobile OSs such as SailFish and Postmarket.

What is an excellent custom app that made Geek groan?

From a privacy -oriented point of view, an app developed by Planet Computers is also provided.

For example, "Backup" seems to be able to back up the contents of the smartphone by yourself without raising information on Google cloud.When you switch from GEMINI PDA or COSMO Communicator to ASTRO SLIDE, you can easily transfer information.

In addition, the email application "AirMail" that is a layout like SNS timeline, "AGENDA", a calendar application that can be displayed as a gun chart (Ricard in the gis mode editorial department is also in agony!), Spotlight -like smartphone search engine.It is full of custom apps that tickle geeks such as "ONESEARCH".

The keyboard tends to be deprived of the eyes, but Astro Slide 5g Transformer was very unique.(By the way, Richard was blowing, saying that there was an app "Mapper" for remapping the keyboard).

"I want to make an easy -to -use device anyway"

Why did Planet Computers stick to smartphones with keyboards in the first place?

According to Dr. Yanko of CEO,

It was difficult to carry a laptop computer to work.I was looking for a smartphone that fits in my pocket, which is easy to typing to see if there are more efficient communication tools.

Previously, there were various devices with keyboards, such as PSION SERIES 3, NOKIA COMMUNICATOR, and Eriksson.However, since the appearance of the iPhone, touch screen smartphones have become more and more mainstream.So let's make it ourselves!When.

In 2016, Dr. Yanko launched Planet Computers with his friends.The following year, "GEMINI PDA", which was launched on Indiegogo, was a pocket -size computer with a telephone function rather than a smartphone.The ASTRO SLIDE, which was developed over four years, is evolving into a smartphone with the same functions.

ASTRO SLIDE 5G Transformer is so attractive that Richard is in agony.The price and the scheduled release date are announced on the crowdfunding site, so if you are interested, check out here!
