Tuga A10 £449
Eworks Manager's field features (job sheets, certificates, questionnaires, photos, signatures, camera asset scanning and offline working) live in the Android app, so the device a field worker carries needs to run that app well rather than a browser. The Tuga A10 runs Android 14 against a published minimum of Android 7.0 (API level 24), so it clears the only device figure the vendor publishes by seven major versions. The vendor publishes no RAM or storage figure, and the A10's 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage leave room for the offline cache the app keeps on the device. Gas and electrical certificates run to several pages, and the 10.1 inch 1920 x 1200 screen shows more of each page at once than the 8 or 6 inch options, which also helps when a customer signs on screen. The IP68 and MIL-STD-810H ratings cover rain on a roof, dust in a plant room and knocks in a van, and the 13MP rear camera with flash is the scan and photo path the vendor documents. It fits both the charging dock and the vehicle mounting dock.
