This rugged Android tablet is your outdoor companion
If you like to spend time in the outdoors, you might not think about the kinds of devices you’d bring with you. After all, you’re probably more focused on what sorts of supplies you’re going to pack. But these days, devices like smartphones and tablets can be excellent items to carry along for whatever adventures you’re planning. This is where a rugged tablet like the HOTWAV R7 comes in. It’s a rugged Android tablet that was designed to be every bit as much of an outdoor must-have as an everyday useful tech device.
Thanks to things like its MIL-STD-810H certification, the HOTWAV R7 is built to take the bumps and bruises that can sometimes come with an outdoor excursion. Even if it’s a simple drop on the ground from waist height because it fell off your lap while you were resting in your camping chair. The R7 will be just fine as it’s resistant to shock. But it doesn’t stop there. It also has an IP68 rating so it’s resistant to water and dust. It has an IP68K rating as well. This means it can stand up to dust ingress, high temperatures, and high-pressure water. All things you could easily encounter while spending time outdoors.
To further enhance its outdoor usage, HOTWAV has added support to the R7 for multiple GPS technologies. Including Beidou, Galileo, Glonass, and GPS. Now, if you’re outdoors, chances are you might end up in a situation where it gets cold and you need to put gloves on. The good news with the R7 is that it was designed to work even while you wear gloves. So you can keep your hands warm and still use the tablet if you need to. There’s also support for facial recognition so you won’t always need to use the touch screen for unlocking the device.
The HOTWAV R7 has a useful reverse charging feature
While the tablet’s ruggedness is certainly one of the more appealing parts of it, the rest of the specs and features are great for a more affordable tablet. For instance, think about everything you might bring with you that needs to recharge. Especially if you plan to stay out longer than a day or two. Chances are you might bring your phone, a smartwatch, and maybe even some wireless earbuds. All of these things have internal batteries that will need to be recharged at some point. Well, if you have the HOTWAV R7 on you, you’re in luck. It comes with a really neat OTG reverse charging feature.
This allows you to plug another device into the tablet and use the tablet to recharge anything that’s run out of battery. You’ll need a cable to connect the two devices. But that’s easy enough to find and pack with the rest of your stuff. What’s more, is that the HOTWAV R7 comes with a large battery. So it can easily double as a power bank if you need to juice other devices back up. And when we say large, we mean it. It has a 15,600mAh battery inside which HOTWAV says can last for up to 18 hours of constant video or up to 20 hours of constant music. And if you aren’t using it all the time it’ll last for up to 900 hours in standby. In short, the battery won’t be draining on you anytime soon.
Perfect for entertainment
Now when it comes to entertainment, the HOTWAV R7 is great for that too. It has a 10.1-inch HD+ display which is perfect for watching shows and movies, playing games, or reading. With 256GB of internal storage, you’ll have plenty of room to download apps and games or a bunch of movies and music. Now, 256GB can fill up fast, but the R7 also supports up to 2TB of expandable storage with a microSD card. So you’ll have all the room you ever need. It has up to 12GB of RAM as well so it should be perfect for handling multitasking.
Worth noting is that the R7 features 6GB of physical RAM and 6GB of virtual expansion RAM, using what HOTWAV calls RAM expansion technology. Additionally, it runs on Android 13 and has two SIM card slots with 4G LTE network compatibility. However, you may want to double-check to make sure it supports your carrier’s network bands. As for cameras, it has 16MP camera sensors on both the front and back. So you can use it for photos and video, as well as video calls. It also supports 5GHz Wi-Fi networks.
What’s more, is that it has Widevine L1 support which helps expand the amount of platforms where you can access HD streaming.
Keep it secure with the included strap accessory
What’s really neat about this tablet is that it comes with a strap you can attach to the back. If you look at the back of the tablet, there are these little screws on both the top and bottom. You can unscrew these and then fasten the top and bottom parts of the strap to the tablet thanks to these metal brackets that are attached to it. This works as a means of securing the tablet to your hands so it’s less likely that you’ll drop it.
You simply slide your hand into the strap and the tablet is easier to hold onto. You may have seen similar types of straps for things like DLSR cameras and such. And they work great because the straps are tight enough against the back of your hand to keep the camera secure. This is how it works with the R7 strap. So although it is rugged enough to withstand drops and shock, you can still easily prevent that with this included accessory.
