I switched to a 25-inch Android tablet for a week - and one thing stood out most

"I love that Android makes it possible for companies to create devices for various scenarios. For example, you might want to have a large touchscreen display powered by Android in your kitchen for viewing recipes (without having to be up close and personal with the display), in the office to show presentations, or in the kids' room for games and fun."

"Also: Use a Pixel phone? Turning on this hidden camera feature makes photos absolutely pop Such is the case with the KTC 25-inch Portable Touchscreen Monitor . It's a full-blown Android-powered display that can be used for several purposes. It's not the most powerful tablet in the world, but that's not the point. It's large, well-built, and ready for action."

"After unboxing the display, I attempted to power it on, only to find that the battery was depleted. I plugged it in (with the included cable) and waited for it to charge beyond 20% (required for setup). Once it was ready, I went through the setup process, which included creating a passkey with the help of my Pixel 9 Pro phone. Yeah, Google's really forcing passkeys on us at this point. Love them or leave them, they are here to stay."

"First off, the display includes a nice built-in stand that can be used in either vertical or horizontal mode. That's a nice touch because sometimes you might want to use it in one configuration, and another time in the other. It's nice to have options. After I had the display up and running, I decided I was going to do something fun and install the minimal Olancher home screen launcher, just to be different."

The KTC 25-inch Portable Touchscreen Monitor is a full Android-powered display suited for kitchens, offices, and children's rooms. Initial setup required charging beyond 20% and creating a passkey via a Pixel 9 Pro, reflecting a shift toward passkey authentication. The display includes a built-in stand that supports both vertical and horizontal orientations for flexible placement. Installing a lightweight home launcher like Olancher improved responsiveness, highlighting that software choices affect perceived performance. The device emphasizes size, solid build quality, and versatility rather than high-end tablet processing power, making it useful for recipes, presentations, and casual entertainment.
