Blackview Active 5 Rugged Budget Tablet Now Available
Blackview has launched the Active 5, a new rugged and budget-friendly Android tablet. The very rugged tablet is advertised as built to take the brunt of the extreme environment, and it is now available straight from the makers for $247.
Durability and Certifications
Durability is what Blackview Active 5 is all about. The tablet is IP68 and IP69K certified, showing tremendous resistance against dust and water ingress. It is also MIL-STD-810H certified, which means it can likely withstand some level of physical torture that ordinary consumer devices cannot.
Core Specifications and Hardware
Positioned as a budget device, the Active 5's internal hardware reflects that:
- Processor: Equipped with a Unisoc T615 SoC that can hardly be expected to deliver any high-end computing power.
- Memory and Storage: The tablet provides 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Users can further expand storage using a microSD card but will have to forgo one of the dual SIM card slots.
- Connectivity: LTE connectivity for cellular data is also available on the go.
- Display: The tablet sports an 8.68-inch display with a resolution of 800 x 1340 pixels at a refresh rate of 90 Hz, providing a smoother experience as long as the SoC keeps pace.
- Battery: A 6,600 mAh battery that supports 18-watt charging sits inside.
Software and Physical Dimensions
Blackview Active 5 comes running DokeOS P 4.2 on top of Android 15, though the maker suggests that consumers should not expect a flight of future software updates.
The tablet dimensions are 218.5 x 131.7 x 12.3mm, and it weighs 510g, indicating a rugged construction.
