The build quality is excellent, it's rugged, solid, and ready for anything. The 11-inch 2K screen is bright, clear, and good to use when I’m reading, watching videos, or browsing the web. The battery life is next-level, I can easily go several days without recharging, even with regular use. Plus, the built-in camping lantern is super bright, I plan to use it the next time I take a camping trip. The cameras are surprisingly good and the Face ID unlocks quickly. It’s a little heavier than a standard tablet, which I've seen several folks complain about, but that’s a small trade-off for how much power and durability you get. Just be aware it’s not compatible with AT&T for calling if you were planning to use the SIM feature. Overall, this is a great tablet for outdoor adventures, work, or everyday heavy-duty use. Highly recommend it if you want a tablet that can actually keep up with real life! Review: Fast, powerful, rugged, but heavy - While it's a little early to give a 5-star review on a product I've not had for long, I like pretty much everything about it. The screen is fantastic, much nicer than the typical 1280x800 and similar on budget tablets. I set it up using my Android phone as its source, and it did not take long. I did need to make a few settings changes to get the onscreen buttons and begin placing application icons. It has lots of memory: base 6GB operating, which can be extended up to 20GB (not needed by me yet), and 256GB of storage, so I have not yet added a microSD card. The battery is huge, at 20,000 mAH. It has a big light on it, which is a unique feature, and potentially useful; a "Camping Light" application controls it. It readily connected to my wireless LAN for setup and data transfer, and to Bluetooth to connect to my phone and also to my hearing aid. The only downside is its weight, but for what you're getting, it's a fair price to pay. It does come with mounting brackets to attach a carrying strap, the strap itself, and even includes a "reasonable" (meaning you'd be inclined to keep it) screwdriver to attach those mounting brackets. It is quite rugged, and has silicone covers for its ports, so should be usable outdoors or in rough environments. So far, I haven't found anything not to like about it, considering the weight necessary to account for all it offers.

A great tablet - rugged and reliable.

Fast, powerful, rugged, but heavy

Not E-SIM compatible despite what they tell you
Great tablet for the price. Had asked before buying if we would be able to transfer esim from iPad and was told yes it was compatible with esim, it's not. Helium shipped a physical sim and activated with no problems. It's heavier than the iPad but definitely not as fragile. A lot of digging around on your own as the manual is pretty much useless, however sets up pretty much like any android. Does have more capabilities than our other rugged tablet.

So far so good with the basic things I am doing THIS moment
Right now, I am only using this as a reader for e-books. Hay, its winter. But I got this thing for that reason as well as running navigation apps for my jeep and planning bike routes when I am out doing my camp N bike trips around the country. So basically, running nav apps, reading books, and watching the occasional movie/show at my camp sight while being a bit bashable. I have not played much with the 64mb camera, but hopefully that will take decent photos. I could care less about the 16mb aimed at your face and not used it. The screen can get pretty bright but have not tried it in full on sun yet because you know, winter. But while reading in bed I have to turn the brightness to 0 as 100 is crazy in a dim lit room. This is a good thing and gives me hope. The thing is probably too heavy as just an e-reader but the battery does last a LONG time. Like read War and Peace a couple times LONG time. When Spring gets here, we shall see how it does. For now, I am happy. Oh, I like the screen. Decent contrast and colors and no APP bloat. I hate app bloat. The camp flashlight is stupid bright. I have no plans on using it but it a nice to have but requires you to go through a screen to turn on, that is, no external button. But it is adjustable which is needed as 100 percent is STUPID bright. I might try and use this with my drone. But between the weight of this AND the DJI controller, it will be beefy weight. So not sure about that but it would be handy for planning routes and what not. I might mess around with that in January when I plan on making some really BAD frozen creek and lake videos. It's a typical Android device. I have it connected up with my wifi in the house right now. But you know the drill if you use Android stuff. It really is just a giant fat cell phone at its heart. I think this will work out well for my needs. edit. 13 months later.... OMG, I use this thing almost every day now. Needs a new screen protector. Been on lots of adventures and survived my Dog sliding around all over the screen.... I have NO idea there but dogo claw marks on the screen protector. =/ It's had falls and been launched across my jeep when forced to hit the brakes. Ya, it is actually rugged. Many falls off the bed when I fall asleep reading which is nothing considering the other things this pour thing has had to endure. One of my better buys in the last year actually.

good!!!
I bought this specifically for my child. It's very sturdy, so I don't have to worry about it getting damaged by him. It's also waterproof and has a large enough memory capacity. It's great!

Recommandé ! Je suis désormais un fidèle de la marque. Les points forts de cette tablette sont sans aucun doute : - Écran large de 11 pouces Widevine L1, avec une excellente visibilité angulaire et définition - Capacité de stockage de 256 Go en plus du slot d'expansion - Prix compétitif - RAM de 12 Go qui permet une grande fluidité avec de nombreuses applications ouvertes - Emplacement pour carte SIM pour rester toujours connecté - Batterie longue durée J'ai installé toutes les applications que j'utilise habituellement, tout fonctionne très bien. Je vais essayer de changer le lanceur pour mon préféré, mais tout est compatible avec Android 13. Les écouteurs ne sont pas inclus, mais ils sont de toute façon inutiles car chacun a les siens. En revanche, il y a une housse et un verre trempé de protection sur mesure, déjà appliqué et parfait. Encore très satisfait ! J'espère que cela vous sera utile !

Ich habe ein Tablet gesucht, was nicht allzu teuer ist aber dennoch alle Funktionen eines Markenproduktes erfüllt. Bei diesem Tablet bin ich fündig geworden. Die Bedienung ist sehr einfach und reagiert auch wirklich gut. Vor allem der große Akku hat es mit angetan. Ich kann auch mal unterwegs einen Film auf Netflix schauen, wenn der Akku nur noch bei 50 Prozent ist. Eine Anmerkung möchte ich noch machen, die vielleicht für den Einen oder die Andere nützlich sein könnte: Die 6GB + 6GB Erweiterung für den Arbeitsspeicher (RAM) bedeuten, dass ich in den Einstellungen 6 GB des 256 GB großen normalen Speichers als Arbeitsspeicher abkapsele. Dieser reagiert natürlich nicht so schnell wie der eigentliche Arbeitsspeicher. Für den normalen Gebrauch, für den ich das Tablet nutze, sollte das nicht ins Gewicht fallen. Für mich reichen auch die 6 GB eigentlicher Arbeitsspeicher aus. Wer also ein Tablet sucht für Filme, Schreiben, Internetanwendungen und normale Spiele ist mit dem Tablet sehr gut bedient 😊

El peso del equipo no es para todos, por sus prestaciones ante la resistencia que ofrece se justifica plenamente, por lo demás cumple completamente mis espectativas, muy fluido e intuitivo su manejo, la recomiendo ampliamente.

Sicuramente non è un tablet per tutti, nel senso che è un tablet appartenente alla categoria rugged , ossia di quelli robusti, resistenti alle condizioni più estreme , per cui un prodotto orientato, a mio avviso , più per professionisti che per un uso prettamente domestico, in ogni caso è un tablet che stupisce sotto molteplici aspetti, offrendo un'esperienza eccezionale in termini di prestazioni, fotografia, durata della batteria e resistenza , completo un pò su tutti i reparti in grado di soddisfare e sopperire diverse esigenze. Tra le varie caratteristiche quella che mi ha più colpito e che mi ha spinta all'acquisto è anzitutto la la risoluzione del display e quella dei video la quale raggiunge il 4K , anche in questo caso è l'unico nella sua categoria ad offrire questa risoluzione nei video, una caratteristica per me molto importante in quanto ho necessità di effettuare video ben definiti in cantiere. Ovviamente queste sono solo le caratteristiche che lo differenziano e lo contraddistinguono rispetto ad altri prodotti della stessa linea , ma è dotato anche di tantissime altre funzionalità che riporterò in questa recensione. Restando sul tema immaging, è dotato di due fotocamere, in particolare ha una fotocamera principale da 64MP , la quale tenendo in considerazione l'uso che ne bisogna fare è più che soddisfacente in quanto riesce a catturare immagini nitidite e soprattutto ben dettagliate, inoltre è dotato anche della modalità subacque ( per foto marine ) , ulteriore punto a suo favore , anche in questo caso foto chiare e dettagliate , infine vi è una camera macro da 2MP , la fotocamera frontale , invece , è di circa 16MP , una delle più ampie sul mercato in questa linea , ottima per i selfie ma anche per le videoriprese in caso di vlog , escursioni ed ecc , insomma reparto immagini completo e non ha nulla da invidiare quelli presenti su tablet più costosi. Il display è ampio essendo un FHD+ da 11 pollici con una risoluzione di 1920x1200P e con una frequenza di aggiornamento a 60Hz , il che offre un'esperienza visiva oserei dire straordinaria , infatti , tenendo in considerazione le caratteristiche del display , la chiarezza delle immagini e la fluidità delle animazioni rendono il telefono adatto sia per la visione di video che per il gaming. La luminosità massima raggiunge i 450 nits, un pò pochini ma comunque non va ad invalidare la buona qualità del pannello e a tal proposito per evitare i fastidiosi riflessi consiglio di sostituire la pellicola protettiva preapplicata con una opaca. Ugualmente performante anche il processore, ossia il Mediatek Unisoc T606 octa-core e con una frequenza di velocità a 2ghz , processore che risulta fluido e veloce ma soprattutto efficiente sia per un uso professionale che per un uso gaming , il tutto poi viene equilibrato dai 6 GB di RAM ( quest'ultima può essere espansa nelle impostazioni in modo virtuale di altri 14 GB aggiuntivi per un totale di 20GB di RAM ) e dai 256GB di ROM espandibili tramite microSD fino a 1TB , caratteristiche che rendono il tablet veloce e soprattutto prestante anche se si fa multitasking non si notano lag o rallentamenti tra la navigazione. Altro punto forte è la batteria, una delle più capienti che abbia mai visto , considerando che è di 20000mAh, sono sincero non ho mai visto una batteria così capiente , e si nota anche nell'uso giornaliero infatti nonostante uso moltissimo il tablet per tante cose la batteria si consuma davvero poco, sembra infinita , inoltre è dotata anche di carica rapida a 20W , inoltre può essere usato anche come powerbanck in quanto la batteria è dotata della funzionalità " reverse change " per cui può essere usata per caricare altri dispositivi , una funzionalità che ho particolarmente apprezzato e che ritengo molto utile in caso di necessità. Essendo un tablet " robusto " è dotato di diverse certificazioni che lo rendono indistruttibile, infatti è resistente all'acqua, alle alte e basse temperature, è impermeabile ed è protetto contro ogni tipo di caduta , incredibile. Ovviamente è dotato anche di tantissime altre funzionalità, ad esempio speaker audio incredibili con certificazione Hi-Res , Dual Sim 4G oppure una Sim + MicroSD , Wifi , GPS , OTG , Face ID, diversi tipi di navigazione, Bluetooth ed ecc. Soddisfatto del mio acquisto, un tablet che eccelle in ogni aspetto , dalle prestazioni alla durata della batteria, dalla resistenza alla convenienza. È una scelta ideale per chi cerca un dispositivo robusto e potente da usare prettamente per un uso professionale e che possa fare affidamento in qualsiasi situazione o esigenza. Spero che la mia esperienza d'acquisto possa esservi stata utile, alla prossima ✌️
