Astro Slide 5G goes official with a full QWERTY keypad, the world’s first 5G handset to have it

Finally, the Astro Slide 5G has now gone official with a full physical QWERTY keypad. It is said to be the world’s first 5G handset to feature this kind of technology. This phone has a full-sized QWERTY keypad, which sits underneath the display and slides across the base.

Normally, you can’t locate the physical keyboard as it lies underneath the device. When you need it, you can slide it out and use the smartphone in landscape mode. Mainly, the screen will have an inclination upwards and will offer you a better viewing angle, thanks to its hinge mechanism. So, basically, it will work as a tiny laptop or a palmtop. Earlier days, when smartphones were peeping out in the market after the era of normal keypad phones, these types of phones made a big impact in the smartphone world. After that, touch-Android phones started coming into the business and these devices started to go extinct.
