Large Android Tablet Lets Me Turn My Kitchen Into a Smart Hub

The KTC 25‑inch portable monitor is a big, sturdy Android screen that can fit in the kitchen, office or kids’ room. It isn’t a high‑performance tablet, but its size and build quality make it useful for many everyday tasks.

Unboxing & First Impressions

• Battery: Empty on arrival; charged to 20 % before setup.
• Setup: Required a passkey, which my Pixel phone helped me create—Google’s new feature in action.
• Stand: Works both upright and flat, making it versatile for different settings.

Daily Use

• Launcher: Installed a minimal launcher; it ran smoothly.
• Apps: YouTube, Gmail, Chrome, and Keep Notes were all easy to use. The larger screen made note‑taking for grocery lists feel natural compared to a phone.
• Gaming: Skipped most games (they need both hands). Tested Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition—the game ran without hiccups and the bigger display made the experience more immersive, especially for audio.

Verdict

Overall the $349 price tag feels fair if you want a versatile Android tablet that can serve as a smart display, productivity tool, or gaming screen.
Downside: Uncertainty about future Android updates beyond version 14.
