Tuga A10 £449
Joblogic's engineer features (forms, certificates, photos, signatures, camera asset scanning and offline working) live in the Android app, so the device an engineer carries needs to run that app well rather than a browser. The Tuga A10 runs Android 14 against a published requirement of Android 7.0 or later, and carries 8GB of RAM against a published minimum of 4GB, so it clears the RAM figure with room to spare rather than sitting on it. The forms Joblogic describes (risk assessments, gas and electrical certificates, service sheets) 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 drops from a ladder, and the 13MP rear camera with flash is the scan and photo path the app documents. It fits both the charging dock and the vehicle mounting dock.
