HOTWAV R8 Rugged Tablet Android 14, 10.1" Incell HD+ 4G Waterproof Tablet | 12GB+128GB/1TB, 10800mAh Octa-Core, 800*RGB*1280 1080P, 13MP+5MP, 5G WiFi/Dual Sim/IP68&IP69K/Face ID/GPS/OTG/NFC/BT5.1/OTA

I bought this tablet to replace my iPad that I dropped and broke. In comparison to my fragile iPad, this tablet is built like a tank. Aside of its rugged build, it displays video super fast at a high resolution. It has an oversized battery that can easily last an entire day with heavy use such as watching movies or videos whenever I'm outside the home running errands. I also like that I can use the tablet as a emergency power source to charge my phone and other devices if needed. I've installed a SIM card that's compatible with my domestic cell phone service which provides me with Internet access practically wherever I go without having to rely upon WiFi. I like that the tablet has independent, dual slots for two SIM cards if I want to install an additional SIM card whenever I'm traveling outside the country. I've yet to use that feature, but it's nice to know it will be available whenever I'm traveling internationally. I use my tablet mostly for reading books, watching videos, surfing the Internet and controlling all of my smart devices inside my home. I also have found it very useful to use for grocery shopping. I can create my grocery list with the tablet, scan barcodes as I shop with the tablet's camera, and use it to check out of the store faster. Because it's waterproof, I don't have to worry about it being damaged if I get caught outside with it in the rain. It's also great to use at the beach or while sitting around a pool not having to worry about damaging it with wet hands. In my opinion this tablet has a heck of a lot more features to offer than an iPad for much less money. It's a great value for the price, and I love mine.

received the unit earlier than projected ETA was stating, upon opening the packaging, installing the hand strap that came in the box, and installing a 256gig Micro SD card and installing the SIM out of another tablet (that this one replaced) i was up and running after a simple setup, however, within a few hours of installing updates and apps i suddenly had connectivity problems with the unit, contacted my cellular provider who verified via the IMEI that the device was indeed unlocked and compatible with the network, and that indeed the device had service and was talking, the tablet itself was saying no joy, no network connectivity, upon further research i discovered it was a common problem after updates to Android 12 that they suddenly are incapable of communicating on some cellular networks (mine included) after further research i found the fix, applied it, and the tablet is rock solid and running great, i've only had it for a day or so of actual use, but its been going since about 8AM, and i've still got 83% battery and i've been using it pretty heavily, so it has great battery life, its a lot heavier than the tablet it replaced (went from an 8 inch to a 10.1 inch) and it makes my phone feel tiny after working with this heavy thing for a while, but it has good quality video, the cameras seem decent, and its reliable thus far, so i'm enjoying it so far

Was haveing a lot off connection issues on Wifi but the Android 12 upgrade seems to have fixed them. UPDATE: Now my browser will not stay open. A flicker of hope for a second, them, BAM! Closed. Try opening it from settings? Nope. Use that handy search bar that sits waiting for for you, good luck. I want to like this monstrosity but it's buggy as hell.

Purchase a lot of tablets and these are by far the most durable. Well made for long term use. Perfect for any rugged use for work or play. Great battery life. Large amount of storage.

This is a very good tablet. I am actually surprised at how good it is for the low price. The drawbacks are it only has average screen brightness for outdoor use...450 nits which isn't very visible outside... But there are very few tablets that have higher nits. Only one or two iPads. Probably need a non-glare screen protector to maximize visibility outside. The iPad with 1000 nits brightness is $ 1200..... So this is almost $1,000 less. Performance is snappy and perfectly suitable for browsing the web watching videos etc. I've used it for listening to music with my Sony Bluetooth headphones and it sounds great. It's heavy. It's really heavy. Whether or not that corresponds to durability I can't say. But it is a strong build. Have not tested waterproofness but you're supposed to be able to use it underwater it even has a function setting for that. Based on the orientation of the startup screen and some native functions the power and volume buttons are in the wrong place they're on the bottom when you're holding it upright in your hand. This is a glaring mistake. Once you get off of those screens you can turn it however you want to turn it and then they would be on top or the side. The screen resolution is only about 360 PPI which is good... It's not up to par with 400 PPI units or phones. It's good enough for the price it's sharp and clear. I would actually like to give it about 4.5 but since I can't give it a parcel rating I'm going to give it five mainly skewed by the low price, functionality. The last non-brand tablet I had was when tablets first came out and it was horrible..... This is a great usable snappy high performing tablet for the $

Finally have some decent time using this tablet- #1 reason for buying this is the massive battery and it does not disappoint, but, its a little like holding a flat brick as its really heavy. the speakers are to be desired, not so good but the button/charge placement is my biggest complaint- the power/volume buttons are next to each other on one end and the charging port is on the opposite end- the issue is some apps will not rotate so the default screen make the charge port on top and the control buttons on the bottom- why they did not put them on the same side??? The screen touch is a little less responsive than my other tablets and for some reason the vibrate barely does anything. Other than that its been ok, some random restarts lately but considering its running all day playing music/apps it is not any less stable that previous tablets. Overall I would recommend this if you want days of use without having to recharge and don't mind it being heavy.

So far, I love this tablet, and I have to say that it’s pretty great for the price! I’ve been using it for the past couple weeks and noticed right away that the detachable handle is very handy to have. Since I use this tablet for my job, I have to pick it up and move it around everywhere, so the handle is a plus! Its build is geared towards pretty rugged professions (farmers, cleaners, construction, etc), and meets military standards, so I knew it would be sturdy enough for my purposes. For the important part, the specs: -OS: Android 12 -Screen Size: HD 10.1 inch w/ Gorilla Glass (Scratch Resistant) -Battery: 15600mAh (supports 900hrs standby, 30hrs video, 25hrs talk) -Camera: 16MP HD Front Camera, 16MP Rear Camera -Ram: 6GB -Storage: 64GB -Processor: MT6762 Octa-Core (multi-tasking capable) MediaTek -Operating Temp: -40°C to 75°C -Item Weight: 2.1lbs Super Cool Features: -Supports OTG Reverse Charging, which means the tablet can act as a mobile power station and can charge your phone if you’re on low charge -This tablet also has built-in GPS and is WATERPROOF and Dustproof, which is a very very important aspect for me -What I love most about this tablet is that it’s basically like walking around with a large version of your phone, and because it’s OS is Android 12, I’m basically able to sync my phone and laptop and have them both set up the same, which makes things much easier with my job. Overall, I’m pretty happy with this tablet so far! It gets the job done, runs smoothly and I haven’t had issues with audio or video yet, and that’s a huge plus, since a laptop, phone, etc can run perfectly, but still have awful audio, so that was also a big factor for me!

It feels tough. Ive barely wanted to use it since I've gotten it. There is no ease of use with this machine, ie; connecting anything wireless like a mouse or stylus. Last and most importantly the commands entered that should stay saved, always go back to default. Nice on a touch screen when you're doing something sensitive. This was a bad buy for me.

il tablet si inchioda di continuo, non sono soddisfatto.

Sehr lange Akkulaufzeit, und Lautstärke der Lautsprecher auch sehr gut. Glücklicherweise passt meine Schutzhülle (die eigentlich für das Gigaset QV 1030 gekauft wurde vor ein paar Jahren) perfekt. Habe auch noch eine 128 GB MicroSD Karte von Sandisk eingebaut. Bißchen schade finde ich es, daß da keine Schutzfolie auf dem Tablet war, sondern nur diese graue Folie die man einmal abzieht. Aber ich schätze mal, so eine ist heutzutage nicht mehr nötig. Das Gewicht des R5 hab ich mir schlimmer vorgestellt, 1 Kg gehen noch. Bin auch froh, daß das Tablet keine so hohe Auflösung hat, denn dies kostet immer viel zu viel Akkuleistung und man sieht eh keinen großen Unterschied. HD Auflösung von 1280x800 wie hier (sogar etwas mehr als der Standard 1280x720 definiert) reicht vollkommen aus. Den Ladestrom von 10 Watt bei 5 Volt finde ich auch gut, denn dadurch wird der Akku nicht gebraten und geht vorzeitig kaputt. Der Preis von 229€ kam mir auch sehr gelegen.

I like the battery. Three days without charging. Fits my machine troubleshooting work. Btw, how could I get the invoice from the seller, please..

Il rugged tablet HOTWAV R5 da 10,1 pollici è un dispositivo che si presenta come un compagno ideale per coloro che lavorano in ambienti estremi e necessitano di uno strumento resistente e affidabile. Tuttavia, non tutto è perfetto e ci sono alcune cose da tenere in considerazione. In primo luogo, il peso del tablet è notevole e, sebbene ciò ne aumenti la resistenza e la solidità, può risultare fastidioso tenere il dispositivo in mano per un lungo periodo di tempo. Ciò potrebbe essere un problema per chi deve lavorare con il tablet per ore, poiché potrebbe causare stanchezza e disagio. Inoltre, la risoluzione dello schermo è decisamente bassa per gli standard del 2023, con una risoluzione di 1280*800, e questo si traduce in una grafica ingombrante del sistema operativo quando si utilizza il tablet in orizzontale. Sebbene il display sia protetto dal Corning Gorilla Glass, la risoluzione bassa potrebbe essere un problema per chi utilizza il dispositivo per attività che richiedono una risoluzione maggiore. Inoltre, il touch screen sembra essere calibrato per essere utilizzato in condizioni estreme, ma in un uso normale risulta poco sensibile. Ciò può essere un problema per chi deve utilizzare il tablet per scrivere e interagire con l'interfaccia utente in modo preciso. Inoltre, la RAM da 4 GB potrebbe non essere sufficiente per il multitasking pesante, e questo potrebbe causare rallentamenti e problemi di prestazioni. La memoria di archiviazione di 64 GB, espandibile fino a 1 TB tramite una scheda SD non inclusa, è adeguata per lo stoccaggio di file e documenti. Il processore octa-core MT6762 consente una buona velocità di navigazione e la riproduzione di contenuti multimediali, ma non è il più reattivo sotto forte stress. Tuttavia, per un utilizzo generale, il tablet offre prestazioni abbastanza fluide. Per quanto riguarda la parte connessione, il tablet offre la connettività 4G Dual SIM, Wi-Fi e Bluetooth, ma non dispone di NFC. In generale, i rugged tablet HOTWAV R5 sono adatti per una varietà di ambienti esterni grazie alla loro resistenza all'acqua, alla polvere e alle cadute. Tuttavia, i problemi sopra menzionati potrebbero influire sull'esperienza utente e bisogna tenerli in considerazione prima dell'acquisto.

Muy resistente la tablet. solo el micrófono integrado no jala bien pero con unos audifonos bluetooth todo esta bien
