It is worth noting that the core configuration of Astro Slide is not consistent with the previous promise. The processor is changed from the original MediaTek Dimensity 1000 to Dimensity 800, but the memory has been improved, from the original 6GB to 8GB.

In addition, when the official announcement of the Astro Slide mobile phone previously revealed that it is equipped with the Android 10 operating system, as time goes by, the Android system has now launched a new major version update, and Astro Slide will also be upgraded to the latest Android 11 system.

At the same time, the official also said that the machine will be launched later this year with different versions of systems such as Debian Linux and UBports (Ubuntu Touch).
