Tank Pad Ultra combines premium Dimensity 8200 performance with 5G at 4.67Gbps and Wi-Fi 6 for seamless fieldwork. Its 260-lumen 1080P projector delivers bright, daylight-visible big-screen presentations, while a Sony 50MP main camera, 32MP front camera, and 64MP night vision camera ensure professional-quality imaging in any condition — including complete darkness. A 4m laser rangefinder enables fast on-site distance measurements, and dual-frequency L1+L5 GPS supports precise positioning across mountains, forests, and cities.
Tank Pad Ultra's 260-lumen DLP projector is 2.6× brighter than the previous 100-lumen Tank Pad — and the brightest ever fitted into a rugged tablet. With 1920×1080 full HD resolution and laser autofocus from 0.5m to 4m, it delivers sharp, clear images even in daylight. Perfect for field presentations, on-site training, team briefings, and collaborative work without needing an external screen. Up to 6 hours of continuous projection in Night Mode.
Professional-grade imaging across every lens — from detailed daylight shots to clear captures in total darkness.
Large 1/1.56" sensor with all-pixel autofocus. High light intake for sharp, detailed shots even in challenging lighting conditions.
Ultra-high resolution OmniVision sensor with 4× IR LEDs and dual-tone LED flash. Clear, accurate documentation in complete darkness — 15m+ visibility range.
Sharp video calls, document captures, and bright selfies — even in challenging lighting. Ideal for remote work and online meetings.
The integrated laser rangefinder provides fast, accurate distance measurements from 0.5m to 4m — perfect for construction sites, field engineers, interior designers, and outdoor professionals. Supports Distance, Area, Volume, and Pythagorean measurement modes. One press gives you the measurement you need without carrying separate tools.
Powered by the 4nm Dimensity 8200 octa-core chip — 1× Cortex-A78 at 3.1GHz, 3× Cortex-A78 at 3.0GHz, 4× Cortex-A55 at 2.0GHz — paired with a Mali-G610 MC6 GPU for smooth multitasking and graphics. The integrated 5G modem delivers peak downlink speeds up to 4.67Gbps — double that of the Tank Pad — with Wi-Fi 6 for faster, more reliable connectivity in congested field environments. Advanced power management ensures exceptional battery life even under heavy workloads.
A massive 23400mAh battery delivers multi-day endurance for fieldwork, remote travel, long shifts, and outdoor expeditions. 66W fast charging tops it up fully in just 2 hours. USB-C reverse charging lets you power earphones, smartwatches, or other devices on the go — making the Tank Pad Ultra a portable power station as much as a tablet. Equipped with a professional-grade SinoWealth SH366003 coulomb counter for 1% battery accuracy — so you always know exactly how much power remains.
A total of 32GB effective memory enables smooth multitasking across the most demanding workloads — open large blueprints, run mapping software, manage project tools, and join video calls simultaneously without lag. 512GB of storage holds thousands of high-resolution photos, hours of 4K video, years of project files, and offline maps. Expandable up to 2TB via TF card for teams with larger data requirements.
The 10.95" high-brightness FHD+ panel (1200×1920) hits the ideal size for rugged Android tablets — large enough for detailed schematics, CAD drawings, and multitasking, yet compact enough for on-site use. Optimised for outdoor visibility so you can work clearly under direct sunlight. The perfect tool for field engineers, urban planners, construction managers, and remote project teams who need precision in any environment.
Tank Pad Ultra supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou with dual-frequency L1+L5 positioning — achieving 1–3 metre accuracy in open environments versus the 3–10 metre drift of single-frequency GPS in complex terrain. Reliable and precise in mountains, forests, cities, and construction sites where GPS signal is most challenged. Essential for field surveys, mapping, asset tracking, and outdoor projects where accuracy matters.
5G at up to 4.67Gbps downlink and Wi-Fi 6 dual-band for fast, reliable connectivity in any environment.
Quick contactless payments and access control — supports multiple NFC modes and EMVCo standard.
Stable wireless connections to speakers, headphones, keyboards, and accessories.
Manage work and personal connectivity on one device, with hot-swappable TF card for storage expansion.
Fast, secure biometric unlocking from any angle — including with wet or gloved hands.
Single, double, and long-press — customise for team radio, camera, flashlight, or any app shortcut.
Control TVs and appliances on site without a separate remote.
Built-in antenna for 65–108MHz reception — no data connection required.
Dual speakers powered by Awinic Smart PA with a 3.5cc sound chamber, 4Ω 2W output, reach up to 102dB — cutting through outdoor ambient noise for presentations, video calls, and media. Dual analog silicon microphones with noise reduction ensure your voice is heard clearly even in noisy field environments. 3.5mm headphone jack included for private listening.
Built-in high-brightness camping light for night work, outdoor setup, and emergency illumination. Red and blue warning lights with 3-channel control for emergency signalling, roadside safety, and night operations — keeping you visible and safe in any dark or remote environment.
Tank Pad Ultra comes with a comprehensive built-in Toolbox covering every outdoor and industrial scenario — no extra equipment needed.

Unlike ordinary tablets that fail when exposed to water or dropped, Tank Pad Ultra is built tough with full IP68 and IP69K certification — shockproof, dustproof, and waterproof. Tested for rain, sand and dust, vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, humidity, and altitude. Designed for reliable performance on construction sites, in fieldwork, outdoor adventures, oil and energy facilities, and mining environments — your work continues uninterrupted no matter the conditions.

I manage construction projects across Gauteng and use the Tank Pad Ultra for site drawings, video calls, and projecting plans onto walls for team briefings. The projector and battery combination is unlike anything else on the market. Dropped it from a table at a site meeting — not a scratch. This tablet is built for real work in real conditions.
We run environmental surveys in remote areas across Southern Africa. The Tank Pad Ultra replaced separate tablets, GPS units, and cameras for our field teams. Night vision camera for nocturnal species surveys, projector for team briefings, massive battery for multi-day fieldwork, and IP68 for river crossings. Genuinely transformative for field research.
I have used Panasonic Toughbooks and Samsung Active tablets for field work. The Tank Pad Ultra matches the ruggedness at a fraction of the cost and adds features neither of the others have (projector, night vision, massive battery). Heavy at 1.1kg but for tablet use the weight is less of an issue than with a phone.
Our survey team is in the field for 5-10 days at a time. The Tank Pad Ultra projects our nightly debrief presentations onto tent walls, charges team members' phones, and still has battery for another week. The night vision camera captures wildlife documentation in complete darkness. An extraordinary field tool.
I used consumer tablets on site for 3 years and broke 4 of them. The Tank Pad Ultra has survived 4 months of daily construction site use with no damage. The screen is large enough for reading plans clearly and the battery lasts the working week. The projector is useful for team briefings without carrying a separate projector.
I run outdoor environmental education programmes for schools. The Tank Pad Ultra has completely changed how I deliver outdoor lessons. Projector onto a white surface for presentations, large screen for group viewing, battery that outlasts our 3-day camps, and a build that survives student handling. An outstanding educational field tool.
At 1.1kg this tablet is heavy for extended handheld use. Mounted on a tripod, vehicle mount, or used flat on a surface it is excellent. The projector, night vision, and battery are all genuinely impressive. For anyone who needs a rugged tablet primarily in a fixed or mounted position this is outstanding. For handheld field use the weight is a challenge.
The specifications are genuinely impressive for outdoor professional use. However at this size and weight it is not practical as a daily carry tablet. If you need a rugged tablet specifically for field deployments in a bag or vehicle, it is excellent. For daily office-field hybrid use the form factor is challenging.
