No.1 X5
Following on from their popular range of
rugged smartphones, No.1 have taken their rugged know how and used it to make a
7-inch rugged tablet.
As far as we know, rugged Android
tablets are few and far between, and are generally marketed at the professional
looking to keep connected while in extreme conditions. The No.1 X5 aims to
bring those same rugged features, and connectivity to a larger audience.
Off the bat there are features on the
tablet that make this device perfect for outdoor use. The X5 uses a 1.3 Ghz
quad-core MT8732VC chipset offering LTE support for bands 1/3/7 (WCDMA support
include 1/2/3/8). In addition to LTE there is GPS support too, perfect for
using maps while in the wilds.
The rubber finished body measures a huge
18.9 mm giving the tablet plenty of room for NFC, a Class K loud-speaker, 3 axis
gyro, micro SD support, and a massive 10,000mAh battery.
Screen specs are modest with the 7-inch
panel having a a resolution of 1280 x 800. Other specs included a 13 mega-pixel
rear camera, 2 mega-pixel front, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal memory. The tablet
also obviously runs Android, but from the official No.1 Specifications there is
no mention of which version of the OS is used.
As for the rugged protection the rubber
body is IP67 water and dustproof. The chassis is designed to withstand crushing
forces and shocks, plus the display is a toughened scratchproof panel.
