PLANET ASTRO SLIDE

The brand's gadget has a full physical keyboard, AMOLED screen and 48MP camera

Digital keyboards have become so good and predictable that most people would probably type more slowly with a physical QWERTY on a phone today. For those who don't have physical keyboards yet, Astro Slide can be an option.

The device features a mechanically backlit keyboard with five different light levels, as well as programmable buttons. According to the company's website, the phone can be ordered with a “Finnish and Swedish” keyboard layout.

In addition, Astro Slide is equipped with a 6.39-inch (1080 x 2340) AMOLED screen, MediaTek Dimensity 800 system circuitry, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, memory card slot, speakers stereo and headphone output.

The phone features Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, two USB-C ports, two SIM slots, a fingerprint reader, a 4000mAh battery, wireless charging and a 48MP camera made by Sony. Not unexpectedly, Astro Slide is a thick smartphone with external dimensions of 172.4 x 76.5 x 18.7 millimeters. It weighs a total of 325 grams.

The price is £863 with delivery scheduled for 22 March. As usual with smaller player phones, it involves a certain risk and chance of ordering.
