One Android Display Platform. Four Configurations for Different Commercial Environments.

iMin Penguin 1 Series – Android Commercial Display Platform The iMin Penguin 1 Series is a family of Android-based commercial displays designed for businesses that need a larger interactive screen for customer-facing, self-service or business application environments.

Rather than using one configuration for every deployment, the Penguin 1 family provides a choice between 15.6-inch and 21.5-inch displays, together with Standard and Pro platforms.

The series consists of four primary models:

• iMin Penguin 1
• iMin Penguin 1 mini
• iMin Penguin 1 Pro
• iMin Penguin 1 Pro mini

The right model depends on the required screen size, Android platform, wireless connectivity, processing platform and PoE++ requirement.

Understanding the Penguin 1 Family

The easiest way to understand the range is through two decisions:

Display size

Choose between:

• 21.5-inch Penguin 1 / Penguin 1 Pro
• 15.6-inch Penguin 1 mini / Penguin 1 Pro mini

Platform

Choose between:

• Standard Penguin 1 platform
• Pro Penguin 1 platform

This structure allows businesses to select the hardware around the intended application instead of automatically choosing the highest specification.

iMin Penguin 1 – 21.5-Inch Standard Model

The Penguin 1 provides the larger 21.5-inch display on the Standard platform.

Key documented specifications include:

• 21.5-inch display
• Android 15
• WLAN 6
• Bluetooth 5.4
• PoE++ available as an option
• Octa-core CPU architecture
• 2 × A76 cores at 2.0 GHz
• 6 × A55 cores at 1.8 GHz

The larger display may be useful where screen space is important for interactive menus, information interfaces, business applications or customer-facing content.

iMin Penguin 1 mini – 15.6-Inch Standard Model

The Penguin 1 mini uses the same Standard platform concept in a smaller 15.6-inch format.

Key documented specifications include:

• 15.6-inch display
• Android 15
• WLAN 6
• Bluetooth 5.4
• PoE++ available as an option
• 2 × A76 cores at 2.0 GHz
• 6 × A55 cores at 1.8 GHz

The smaller display can be considered where countertop space, mounting area or installation footprint is more restricted.

iMin Penguin 1 Pro – 21.5-Inch Pro Model

The Penguin 1 Pro combines the larger 21.5-inch format with the Pro hardware platform.

Key documented specifications include:

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

The Pro version should be evaluated where the intended application requires the newer platform specifications provided by this configuration.

iMin Penguin 1 Pro mini – 15.6-Inch Pro Model

The Penguin 1 Pro mini combines the compact 15.6-inch display with the Pro platform.

Key documented specifications include:

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

This configuration may suit installations requiring the Pro platform while retaining the smaller screen format.

Standard vs Pro – What Changes?

The difference is more substantial than screen size alone.

Penguin 1 / Penguin 1 mini

Android: Android 15
Wireless LAN: WLAN 6
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 5.4
PoE++: Optional
CPU: 2 × A76 2.0 GHz + 6 × A55 1.8 GHz

Penguin 1 Pro / Penguin 1 Pro mini

Android: Android 16
Wireless LAN: WLAN 6E
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 6.0
PoE++: Included in the documented specification
CPU: 1 × Prime 2.9 GHz + 3 × Gold 2.7 GHz + 4 × Silver 2.0 GHz

This distinction should be considered when planning software lifecycle, network requirements and deployment architecture.

15.6-Inch vs 21.5-Inch – Which Size?

A larger screen is not automatically the better choice.

21.5-Inch

Consider Penguin 1 or Penguin 1 Pro where the application benefits from:

• Larger interface elements
• More visible information
• Customer-facing interaction
• Digital menu applications
• Larger self-service interfaces
• More screen area for complex applications

15.6-Inch

Consider Penguin 1 mini or Penguin 1 Pro mini where priorities include:

• Reduced installation footprint
• Countertop use
• Limited mounting space
• Compact self-service stations
• Smaller interactive interfaces

The intended software interface and viewing distance should also be considered before selecting screen size.

PoE++ and Installation Planning

PoE++ can allow compatible installations to carry electrical power and network data through Ethernet infrastructure.

According to the supplied iMin specifications:

Penguin 1: PoE++ optional
Penguin 1 mini: PoE++ optional
Penguin 1 Pro: PoE++
Penguin 1 Pro mini: PoE++

This can be relevant for installations where reducing separate cabling is desirable.

However, PoE deployment depends on the complete network infrastructure. Compatible switches, injectors, cabling and the exact Penguin configuration should be confirmed before installation.

Commercial Applications

Depending on software and installation requirements, the Penguin 1 Series may be considered for:

• Self-service interfaces
• Interactive information displays
• Restaurant ordering interfaces
• Digital menu applications
• Retail product information
• Customer check-in
• Queue-management interfaces
• Hospitality applications
• Visitor information
• Service counters
• Commercial Android applications

The hardware platform does not itself provide these business functions. Appropriate software and system integration are required.

Retail Environments

A Penguin 1 display can form part of a retail technology environment where customers or employees need access to an Android application through a larger touchscreen.

Potential workflows may include:

Product Search → Product Information → Customer Interaction

or

Employee Login → Business Application → Product / Inventory Information

Actual functionality depends on the software deployed by the business.

Restaurant & Hospitality Environments

The larger-screen Android format may also be considered for applications such as:

• Digital ordering
• Menu browsing
• Customer check-in
• Queue interfaces
• Service information
• Staff applications

For ordering or payment workflows, businesses should verify the required POS software, payment hardware and third-party integration separately.

Important Payment Clarification

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

Accepting card, NFC, QR or mobile-wallet payments may require separate:

• Payment hardware
• Payment application
• Acquiring service
• Payment gateway
• Regional certification
• Software integration

The capabilities of the complete solution therefore depend on more than the Penguin display itself.

Software Compatibility

Before deployment, businesses should verify that the intended Android application supports:

• The selected Android version
• Required screen resolution and orientation
• Required peripheral devices
• Network architecture
• Device-management requirements
• Kiosk mode, where required
• External payment devices, where required
• Any required cloud services

This is particularly important when choosing between the Android 15 Standard platform and Android 16 Pro platform.

Buyer Guidance – Which Penguin 1 Should You Choose?

Choose Penguin 1
when you need a 21.5-inch display and the Standard Android 15 platform meets the application requirements.

Choose Penguin 1 mini
when you want the Standard platform with a smaller 15.6-inch display.

Choose Penguin 1 Pro
when you need a 21.5-inch screen together with the Pro platform, Android 16, WLAN 6E and Bluetooth 6.0.

Choose Penguin 1 Pro mini
when you need the Pro platform but prefer the smaller 15.6-inch format.

The correct choice should be based on actual deployment requirements rather than specification numbers alone.
