To ensure that the rugged tablet can last all the time in any work shift, it features a quick-release “hot swappable” battery slot. This eliminates the need to interrupt work, turn off the device and remove complicated panels to change the battery. With two battery size options, the device can run for up to 14 hours on a single charge.
There is a 13MP rear camera with flash and a 5MP front camera for capturing images to attach to reports and for videoconferences with colleagues. The device uses the Android 10 operating system and is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
