Getac announces new mission-critical tablet

Getac has launched a new fully ruggedised Android tablet, the ZX10.

According to the company, the device combines “fully lightweight design with powerful AI-ready performance and intuitive Android functionality for exceptional performance in the field.” It is designed for environments such as public safety, utilities, and transportation/logistics. 

Discussing the device in greater detail, a spokesperson for the company said: “At the heart of the next generation ZX10 are Qualcomm’s QCS6490 processor and Neural Processor Unit. [These] are purpose-built to support advanced AI capabilities and deliver astonishing performance even at lower power levels. 

“Additional key features include advanced memory - 8GB LPDDR5 - for lightning-fast data transfer, and up to 256GB Universal Flash Storage for a smooth and seamless user experience when running multiple applications simultaneously.”

The device also includes a 1,000 nits LumiBond screen with “sunlight readable technology and capacitive multi-touch display for effective operation in the rain and while wearing gloves.” An optional active digitiser with stylus is also available.

The product is dual SIM - Nano SIM + eSIM –, while also enabling Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and optional dedicated dual-band GPS. According to the manufacturer, it can also be configured with "4G LTE and 5G Sub-6, Near Field Communication [non-payment] and a barcode reader.”

Build-wise, the ten-inch device is MIL-STD-810H- and IP66-certified, with a drop resistance of six feet. Android 13 is installed as standard.

Getac president, James Hwang, said: “For field-based professionals, device weight can have a significant impact on productivity, particularly when carrying and/or operating it for extended periods of time. 

“Not only is the next generation ZX10 the lightest 10-inch fully rugged tablet currently available on the market, but its powerful combination of AI-ready performance, extensive configurability, fully rugged reliability, and intuitive Android OS makes it one of the most versatile as well.”
