If you’ve ever wanted to buy a large all-screen 5G smartphone that features a built-in, slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, now’s your chance. The Astro Slide 5G Transformer is the device in question, a 5G PDA that seems out of place in 2020. However, there’s clearly a market for this sort of product, as Planet Computers manufactured two similar gadgets in previous years, including the Cosmo Communicator and Gemini PDA. The Astro Slide 5G is the natural successor of that series of devices, embracing some of the features of its predecessors, complete with a series of notable upgrades.
