The Dangbei PadGO Air, a 27-inch touchscreen device now available for pre-order in China, is catching attention with its distinctive design and features. Starting at a price of 4,699 yuan, it is being promoted as a "best friend phone."
Display Features and Design
The PadGO Air is equipped with a large 1080p resolution display, perfect for streaming videos, browsing the internet, or working on various projects. The anti-glare matte screen, combined with DC hardware dimming, ensures a comfortable viewing experience by reducing reflections and providing smooth brightness adjustments. Additionally, it has an automatic brightness adjustment feature for added convenience.
The bezel-less full-screen design offers an immersive viewing experience, which is further enhanced by a versatile adjustable stand. The stand allows for ±90° vertical rotation, enabling the screen to tilt downwards for a more comfortable viewing angle, upwards for video conferencing, and vertical height adjustment for ergonomic positioning. A 360° swiveling base adds to its maneuverability.
Operating System and Performance
The device comes pre-installed with Dangbei OS, which provides a user-friendly interface and customizable features such as a custom desktop layout, an art gallery for displaying images, rhythmic lyric integration, and smart split-screen functionality for multitasking.
Powered by the MediaTek Genio 1200 processor and 6GB of RAM, the PadGO Air promises smooth and efficient performance. It also includes 128GB of storage, providing ample space for apps and files. An AI camera is available for video calls or capturing photos, while support for somatosensory games offers interactive gaming experiences. The Dangbei AI assistant allows for voice-controlled interaction, and there's a built-in Wenxin Yiyan model, though its specific functionality is unspecified.
