Leading producer of rugged mobile computers Handheld Group has unveiled a new ultra-rugged Windows tablet that combines durability with strong field performance, 5G and future-proof features.

Dubbed Algiz 10XR, the 10-inch tablet is smaller and lighter than similar devices in the market, and is designed to achieve more while taking up less space.

According to the company, the Algiz 10XR was developed for challenging field work settings in construction, mining, logistics, and waste management sectors.

The tablet is designed with modulization and customization in mind.

“We’ve worked with this segment for decades now and are confident that we’ve developed a device with not only great specs, but a complete accessory package to help our customers with their fieldwork.”
