The next generation ZX10 is aimed at professionals working in industries such as security, public safety, utilities and transportation and logistics, who need devices they can trust in the challenging environments and scenarios they encounter daily.
At the heart of the next generation ZX10 are Qualcomm’s QCS6490 processor and Neural Processor Unit (NPU), which are purpose-built to support advanced AI capabilities and deliver astonishing performance even at lower power levels. Additional key features include advanced memory (8GB LPDDR5) for lightning-fast data transfer, and up to 256GB Universal Flash Storage (UFS) for a smooth and seamless user experience when running multiple applications simultaneously. Elsewhere, the device boasts an upgraded 1,000 nits LumiBond screen with sunlight readable technology and capacitive multitouch display, for effective operation in the rain and while wearing gloves. An optional active digitiser with stylus is also available for fast, accurate note taking and data entry in heavy rain and/or extremely low temperatures.
Connectivity and battery options
The next generation ZX10 includes dual SIM technology (Nano SIM + eSIM) for optimal mobile network coverage, while Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and optional dedicated dual-band GPS offer rapid data transfer and location positioning capabilities. For those with more extensive data collection and communication needs, the device can be configured with 4G LTE and 5G Sub-6, Near Field Communication (NFC) (non-payment) and a barcode reader.
The ZX10 features a hot-swappable dual-battery design that supports full-shift operation without downtime or delays. It can also be configured with a single battery for customers who wish to mount the device on forklifts or other vehicles. Optional high-capacity Li-ion battery pack are available for those who require longer battery life.
Like all Getac devices, the ZX10 is built rugged for challenging environments. MIL-STD-810H certification, IP66 certification and 6ft drop resistance ensures it can stand up to the rigours of intensive field work, while an operating temperature range of -29°C to 63°C / -20°F to 145°F ameliorates adverse weather conditions and extreme operational scenarios. Despite these comprehensive fully rugged credentials, the ZX10 weighs just starting from 906 grams, making it the lightest 10-inch fully rugged tablet currently available on the market1.
Android operating system
The next generation ZX10 is powered by the intuitive Android operating system (Android 13 is installed as standard), for incredible versatility and ease of use. It is also verified as an Android Enterprise Recommended rugged device, meeting all the specifications and requirements of Google’s rigorous testing process. This means it will receive full security updates every 90 days for five years after the launch date, along with regular patches and feature enhancements over this period. Getac is also committed to supporting a minimum of three Android OS versions for each product generation, futureproofing the ZX10 and ensuring an exceptional Android experience at all times.
The next generation ZX10 is fully compatible with Getac’s Essentials Suite – a comprehensive collection of powerful software solutions designed to help organisations overcome operational challenges and enhance field worker efficiency. This includes innovative new apps such as Getac Management, Getac Monitoring, OEMConfig and Driving Safety2.
James Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation, said: “For field-based professionals, device weight can have a significant impact on productivity, particularly when carrying and/or operating it for extended periods of time.
“Not only is the next generation ZX10 the lightest 10-inch fully rugged tablet currently available on the market, but its powerful combination of AI-ready performance, extensive configurability, fully rugged reliability and intuitive Android OS makes it one of the most versatile as well.”
