Veloravia built a 14-inch display that pairs with a keyboard and touchpad to turn a phone into a larger workstation, featuring 2.5K and 4K panel options. The module houses dual 5W speakers and supports 2242 SSDs for added storage. It opens 180 degrees and uses magnetic mounting on a carbon fiber reinforced composite body.
The display includes a broad array of ports: USB-A 3.2, USB-C, HDMI, MicroSD and a 3.5mm audio jack. It is 17mm thick and packs a 6000mAh battery while allowing a connected adapter to power the panel and deliver up to 100W charging. Compatibility spans Windows, Linux, Android, macOS and other USB-C devices.
For remote workers who require a bigger screen, this setup adds a laptop-like keyboard, touchpad and full-sized ports without changing the phone itself. The slim, packable form and 180-degree hinge make it a transportable option for multi-device workflows, and it is available as a Kickstarter project.
