THE Handheld Group has released a new Android tablet, the ALGIZ RT7, described as a powerful, lightweight (650g) and ergonomic tablet designed for reliable performance in demanding environments.
The Algiz RT7, which runs Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), is said to meet stringent MIL-STD-810G US military standards for protection against drops, vibrations and extreme temperatures, and is IP65 rated meaning it’s waterproof as well as fully sealed against sand and dust.
A Qualcomm MSM8916 (Snapdragon) chipset and 1.2 GHz quad-core processor power the tablet, which comes standard with LTE data and voice capabilities as well as 802.11 b/g/n WLAN, BT Class 1 and Class 2, and NFC functionality.
It also features dual cameras (8-megapixel rear-facing and 2-megapixel front-facing), as well as dual SIM card slots. The unit comes with a built-in accelerometer, gyroscope and e-compass and a stand-alone u-blox GPS receiver for navigation.
Designed for the mobile worker, the tablet also features a high-brightness 7-inch outdoor-viewable capacitive display.
