Key Takeaways
1. The Tank Pad features a durable IP68/69-rated design, making it drop-proof and dust-proof, and is the first tablet in the Tank series.
2. It includes an optional handle/stand for portability and has outdoor lighting and projector capabilities, though the projector brightness is limited to 100 lumens.
3. The tablet is powered by a Dimensity 8200 SoC, with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of expandable storage, similar to the Tank 3 Pro smartphone.
4. It has a smaller 21,000mAh battery compared to its size and charges slowly with a 66W power brick.
5. The Tank Pad features a 10.95-inch FHD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, making it suitable for entertainment while camping, and runs on Android 14.
The Tank Pad features a robust “drop-proof, 360° dust-proof” IP68/69-rated design similar to the latest smartphones from 8849, but it’s notably larger since it’s the first tablet in this series.
Portability and Features
Thanks to its optional handle/stand, this tablet may be easier to carry around, complementing its useful “outdoor light” and projector capabilities (though the projector maxes out at a brightness of 100 lumens) on the newly updated Tank-series rear panel.
Specs and Performance
Equipped with the Dimensity 8200 SoC, the new tablet offers 16GB of RAM and 512GB of expandable storage straight from the box; essentially, it’s the tablet counterpart to the Tank 3 Pro smartphone.
Battery and Charging
Interestingly, despite being the larger of the two devices, it has a smaller battery rated at 21,000mAh. The Tank Pad also charges at a slower rate with the included 66W power brick.
Entertainment Value
Nevertheless, 8849 claims this tablet is a superior option if users find themselves bored while camping and want to watch a movie, given its larger 10.95-inch display that maintains the same FHD resolution and 120Hz refresh rate as the 3 Pro.
Software and Availability
It runs on the same Android 14-based operating system, even as the tech world is on the verge of transitioning to Android 16. The Tank Pad is available on 8849tech.com for $599, and it has also appeared on Amazon for $589.99, with a temporary $40 discount coupon at the time of this writing.
