HOTWAV 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 𝐍𝐄𝐖 Android 13.0 Rugged Tablet 10.4 Inch 2K FHD, 15600mAh Rugged Android 16G+256G, IP68/IP69K Waterproof Outdoor Tablet Octa Core, 4G Dual SIM, 5G WiFi, GPS, OTG
This tablet is competitive for what we're looking for. The design, features and specifications are perfect. Not only does it support dual SIM (4G LTE), but more importantly, it has a military-inspired design and certifications.
In our scenario, we use iPads and Chromebook tablets to balance work and home entertainment. It turns out that raising kids and letting them play with iPads is an expensive mistake.
As far as internal hardware is concerned, the Helio p60 isn't the latest or best, but it's more than adequate for most average people, with connectivity, standard tablet features and - surprisingly - of all the kids' apps we've reviewed it has the average chart.
Google's app ecosystem works very well and efficiently on the device, with YouTube's high-resolution videos being particularly notable.
Reading books and using apps like Kindle can also improve your vision.
Although we had other considerations when looking for this device, this device is equally balanced both at home and on the go. Traveling with kids was our main goal with this purchase. No more worrying about your device breaking or getting damaged during your trip, or regretting not having comprehensive protection for your iPad getting cracked or damaged after your kids play with it while traveling.
The camera has 12-megapixel front and rear cameras, which provide good photos in sunny or well-lit situations. Shooting with high exposure or in the dark/night is a challenge, but while this feature is nice, it's not a selling point for us. Video quality is at the same level.
One factor to consider is price (and offers/promotions). When I bought the device, it was on sale at three sellers on Amazon and I paid $20 more than the other sellers because I missed a limited-time sale. Regardless, the exact same model is selling on eBay for $350 and on the manufacturer's website for $399.
The warranty is not included or mentioned in the description, but the manufacturer states on its website that it comes with a 12-month warranty when purchased from the manufacturer or an authorized dealer.
The firmware is Android 12, which is great for rugged devices since traditional rugged phones and tablets lag a bit behind the "newer" versions of Android, but there's no mention of a firmware update or security patch schedule. I think it may take 2-3 years but time will tell. The tablet is listed as a 2023 model, but the last update was at the end of last year (pictured).
With 8GB RAM and 128GB expandable up to 1TB, you can imagine your future possibilities. Other non-leading brands like Dodge, Oukitel, Hyundai, TCL and even Nokia have more ROM storage but don't have strong military certifications or are cheaper but don't offer SIM cell storage options.
As a bonus, the kids mode, kit, and built-in underwater camera (photo) app are very reliable. This summer we will have more fun with photos and videos, but personally I want to explore the underwater world of a river, stream or lake. Despite its military quality, underwater sea salt is unlikely to be a target this summer.
I plan to release more information after this summer, but we love it. It's been a week since we first received it and the battery is 93% charged, about 20-25 people are reading it every day (they watch YouTube clips, install it, read a kids e-book every evening and play with it) and the kids still have 40% of the order remaining toys and some other things ). We tested the Sim with TextNow and it worked without any issues, but we didn't put the Sim away to check the battery nor did we use the special built-in battery saver feature.
To compare size, I placed the Fire Tablet 8 HD next to it (pictured). According to reviews and photos online, it looks larger, but it's a 10-inch display with a very compact and sturdy look.
