Rugged tablet / 8″ / Android 14
Tuga A8
The all-rounder. Fits the van door pocket.
Eight inches is the size most people land on once they have tried all three. It is big enough to fill in a form, read a drawing or follow a route without pinching and zooming, and small enough to hold in one hand up a ladder or drop into a van door pocket. Sunlight readable at 800 nits, sealed to IP68, and drop tested to MIL-STD-810H. Vehicle mountable with 4G LTE built in, so it works as a dashboard unit on the road and a site tablet when you get there.

- 10000mAh battery with 4G LTE for remote sites
