Enjoy your work and entertainment conveniently with a 5g smartphone with a keyboard

ASTRO SLIDE, a smartphone developed by British PLANET COMPUTERS, has launched a campaign on October 25, 2021 on a crowdfunding site in Japan and Makuake.The period is until December 4, 2021, and the price is "Limited number super fast price 89,999 yen".Smartphones with keyboards have rarely seen recently, but Astro Slide is a characteristic product that has a full -fledged keyboard that can be type with fingertips on a small smartphone.I tried using a pre -trial work scheduled to be released in Japan.

As you can see from the product name, Astro Slide is a smartphone with a slide mechanism.You can usually use it as a smartphone equipped with a 6.39 -inch display, but if you slide the display, a full keyboard will appear and transform into a palm -sized notebook PC style.There are two types of keyboards, Japanese and English sequences, and are also equipped with backlights.

The body size is 172.4x76.5mm in vertical and width, which is a general size as a smartphone.The thickness is 17.8mm because it has a slide mechanism, and weighs about 300g.If you use long -term input on your smartphone, you may carry the Bluetooth keyboard together, but with ASTRO SLIDE, this one has a built -in keyboard.

I used ASTRO SLIDE with my left hand and used it in the shape of a smartphone.Although the mass of 300g feels the weight, there are many recent smartphones that are quite heavy if you attach cases.The 6.39 -inch display size is large enough, and it seems to be used as a normal smartphone.

Now, hold the ASTRO SLIDE sideways and press the display with the left and right thumbs to slide smoothly.The hidden keyboard appears with a special hinge that has been patented by Planet Computers.

When the display is completely open and the display is upward, the notebook PC style is completed.The keyboard is equivalent to the one that is mounted on a laptop, not a small one, and is large.In this case, it seems that the letters can be hit firmly.

I put the ASTRO SLIDE with the keyboard on the table and tried the key touch.Each keyboard is enough to be pressed with your fingertips, so it seems that you can input characters using four fingers on the left and right using not only human fingers but also middle fingers.Because it is not a small button -type keyboard, there is no need to push it strongly with your fingertips.I feel it is a keyboard that can be used with a small image of a laptop PC.

As you can see from the photos when sliding the display above, it is also possible to hold the keyboard with your thumb in the keyboard style.Even in an environment without desks, such as in trains and buses, ASTRO SLIDE allows you to input characters using a keyboard.

In addition, this style is convenient to watch videos because the display is inclined without using a stand, and it is easier to use the inner front camera to participate in video conferences.

The main specifications are chipsets for media tech Dimensity 800, 8GB of memory, 128GB of storage, micro SD card compatible, 6.39 type 2,340x1,080 pixel display, 48 million pixel cameras, 13 million pixel front cameras, 4,000 mAh battery.It supports 5G and can be used for dual SIM cards.It also supports ESIM.

Planet Computers has developed Astro Slide as a "new generation smartphone that combines 5G and keyboard".Isn't it convenient for business people, such as those who often use smartphones at work and often check their office app data while moving.Also, even those who send information on blogs and notebook services, it seems that long sentences can be written at once by using the keyboard on the horizontal screen of the ASTRO SLIDE.ASTRO SLIDE, which allows you to use a smartphone and a ultra -small notebook PC with a keyboard, may find unexpected discoveries and new uses when you use it.
