iMin Penguin 1 Pro 21.5-Inch Android Commercial Display The iMin Penguin 1 Pro is the 21.5-inch Pro model within the Penguin 1 family, designed for commercial Android applications that benefit from a larger interactive display and the newer Pro platform.

Compared with the Standard Penguin 1, the Pro version introduces Android 16, WLAN 6E, Bluetooth 6.0, PoE++ and a different octa-core processor architecture.

The 21.5-inch format makes it relevant for customer-facing information, interactive ordering, self-service, hospitality, retail and other commercial Android deployments where additional screen space is useful.

Overview

The Penguin 1 Pro combines a large-screen format with the higher-specification platform shown in iMin's Penguin 1 Series comparison.

The documented Pro configuration includes:

• 21.5-inch display
• Android 16
• WLAN 6E
• Bluetooth 6.0
• PoE++
• Octa-core processor architecture
• 1 × Prime core at 2.9 GHz
• 3 × Gold cores at 2.7 GHz
• 4 × Silver cores at 2.0 GHz

The final capability of the system depends on the Android application, peripherals, network architecture and installation requirements.

Why Choose the 21.5-Inch Pro Model?

The Penguin 1 Pro may be worth considering where both screen size and platform generation are important.

The 21.5-inch display can provide additional space for:

• Interactive menus
• Product information
• Ordering interfaces
• Customer check-in
• Self-service applications
• Digital forms
• Business dashboards
• Customer-facing content
• Staff applications

A larger display may also improve usability where users interact from a slightly greater viewing distance.

Android 16 Platform

The Penguin 1 Pro is specified with Android 16.

This differentiates it from the Standard Penguin 1, which uses Android 15.

Android 16 may be relevant where businesses are planning around:

• Newer application requirements
• Longer software deployment cycles
• Modern Android APIs
• Enterprise device-management environments
• Commercial applications built for newer Android versions

However, a newer Android version should not be assumed to guarantee compatibility with every existing POS or kiosk application.

The software provider should confirm support before deployment.

Pro Processor Architecture

The Penguin 1 Pro uses an octa-core architecture consisting of:

1 × Prime core at 2.9 GHz
3 × Gold cores at 2.7 GHz
4 × Silver cores at 2.0 GHz

This differs substantially from the Standard Penguin 1 architecture.

The mixed-core design is intended to balance higher-performance processing with less demanding background workloads.

Actual performance still depends on:

• Application design
• Memory configuration
• Storage
• Network connection
• Peripheral use
• Background services
• Thermal conditions

WLAN 6E Connectivity

The Penguin 1 Pro is specified with WLAN 6E.

Compared with the Standard model's WLAN 6, Wi-Fi 6E can provide access to compatible 6 GHz wireless infrastructure where supported.

This may be relevant in environments with:

• Dense wireless networks
• Multiple interactive devices
• Modern enterprise access points
• High-bandwidth commercial applications

A Wi-Fi 6E terminal still requires compatible access points and regional spectrum support to use 6 GHz capabilities.

Bluetooth 6.0

Bluetooth 6.0 is listed for the Penguin 1 Pro.

Depending on the software environment, it may be used with compatible:

• Barcode scanners
• Keyboards
• Peripheral devices
• Other supported Bluetooth hardware

The presence of Bluetooth does not guarantee compatibility with every peripheral, so exact device and application support should be checked.

PoE++

Unlike the Standard Penguin 1, where PoE++ is shown as optional, PoE++ is listed as part of the Penguin 1 Pro specification.

With compatible infrastructure, PoE++ can allow:

Power + Network Data → Ethernet Cabling → Penguin 1 Pro

This can be useful for:

• Wall installations
• Self-service kiosks
• Service counters
• Customer information stations
• Commercial mounting environments

The network switch, injector, cable type and available power budget must still be verified before installation.

Key Features

• 21.5-inch commercial display
• Android 16
• WLAN 6E
• Bluetooth 6.0
• PoE++
• Octa-core processing platform
• 1 × Prime core at 2.9 GHz
• 3 × Gold cores at 2.7 GHz
• 4 × Silver cores at 2.0 GHz
• Designed for compatible interactive Android applications
• Larger display format for customer-facing deployments

Self-Service Applications

The 21.5-inch Penguin 1 Pro may be considered for self-service deployments such as:

• Restaurant ordering
• Product browsing
• Customer check-in
• Queue registration
• Service selection
• Visitor registration
• Interactive information
• Digital forms

A complete solution may additionally require:

• Software

These components are separate unless explicitly included.

The device itself does not provide inventory, checkout or ordering functionality unless the required software is installed and integrated.

Restaurant & Hospitality Applications

Potential hospitality uses include:

• Interactive menus
• Self-ordering interfaces
• Customer check-in
• Queue systems
• Information displays
• Staff-facing applications

For payment or ordering workflows, separate compatible software and services are required.

Penguin 1 Pro vs Standard Penguin 1

Penguin 1 Pro

• 21.5-inch display
• Android 16
• WLAN 6E
• Bluetooth 6.0
• PoE++
• Prime / Gold / Silver processor architecture

Penguin 1 Standard

• 21.5-inch display
• Android 15
• WLAN 6
• Bluetooth 5.4
• PoE++ optional
• A76 / A55 processor architecture

The Pro should be selected where its newer software platform, connectivity or processing architecture is actually required.

If the Standard model already meets the application's requirements, choosing Pro solely because of the name may not provide a meaningful operational benefit.

Penguin 1 Pro vs Penguin 1 Pro mini

The Pro models share the same platform generation but differ primarily in display size.

Penguin 1 Pro

• 21.5-inch display
• Larger visual workspace
• Better suited to large interactive layouts

Penguin 1 Pro mini

• 15.6-inch display
• Smaller installation footprint
• More suitable for compact counters and kiosks

The correct choice depends on viewing distance, installation space and software interface.

Payment Clarification

The Penguin 1 Pro should not automatically be described as a payment terminal.

Card, NFC or mobile-wallet acceptance may require:

• Separate payment hardware
• Payment application
• Acquirer support
• Payment gateway
• Certifications
• Software integration

The Penguin 1 Pro should therefore be evaluated as the Android commercial computing/display platform, not as a complete payment solution.

Purpose of Use

The Penguin 1 Pro is intended for organisations that need a large Android display with newer connectivity and platform specifications for interactive commercial applications.

A typical deployment may look like:

User → Penguin 1 Pro → Android Application → Wi-Fi 6E / Ethernet → Backend System

Additional hardware may be attached where compatible with the selected application.
