After successful crowdfunding on the indiegogo platform in March last year, Astro slide 5g was finally ready to ship in June this year, and said it would open for purchase in September this year. It will become the world's first or only 5g mobile phone with a physical keyboard, and it will provide users with QWERTY full-size keyboard by sliding on the side of the call.

However, in terms of processor, the original Tianji 1000 of MediaTek was changed to dimension 800, and the memory was increased from 6GB to 8GB. At the time of delivery, the Astro slide 5g was pre installed with Android 11 instead of the previously announced Android 10. Planet computing also promises to launch other operating systems later this year, especially Debian Linux and Ubuntu touch.
