FlexTab: Ultra-thin AMOLED tablet doubles as external monitor

A new hybrid device called the FlexTab is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. It can be used as a portable monitor, a tablet or even convertible, as the optionally available keyboard turns the FlexTab into a laptop replacement. A stylus is supported as well.

The tablet features a 13.2-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2880 x 1920 pixels and refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Color accuracy, or color deviation to be more precise, is specified as Delta E under 1. Furthermore, the aspect ratio is 3:2 and peak brightness comes in at 1,000 nits. It is powered by a Rockchip RK3576 processor with either 8GB or 12GB of memory and 256GB or 1TB of internal mass storage. The rather unknown manufacturer does not specify the operating system, but the FlexTab appears to run on Android.

Most importantly, this AMOLED tablet can also be used as an external display as image signals can be transmitted via mini HDMI or wirelessly. USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 are available via modern Type-C ports, and the FlexTab is apparently just 0.12 inches thick and weighs less than a pound. Moreover, it sports a 5,000mAh battery and can now be reserved for a pledge of $639. Deliveries are expected to kick off in July 2025, but buyers should be aware of the typical crowdfunding risks, as there is a fairly high chance that this product will never make it to market.
