Rugged handheld / 6″ / Android 15
Tuga A6
The one that lives in your pocket.
The A6 is the smallest device in the range. At 277g it goes in a pocket or a belt holster, and the 2D barcode scanner in the top edge means proof of delivery, stock checks and asset tags need no second device. Two side scan keys work with gloves on. It is sealed to IP67 and rated for 1.5 metre drops, runs Android 15, and the 5050mAh battery is removable, so a charged spare can take over mid shift. 4G with dual SIM, dual-band Wi-Fi and NFC are on board, and GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo for location.
