The JCB Tough Tablet will be available from November
Genuine Case Company has launched the new JCB Tough Tablet aimed at trade professionals, adventurers and logistics companies.
Its 8” gorilla glass screen, reinforced rubber corners and factory fitted screen protector is designed to withstand many knocks and scratches, and it’s been drop tested to 1.8m and rated Ip68 against water and dust.
The tablet is equipped with a Mediatek Octacore Processor, 128GB storage and 6GB RAM and a huge 12,200mAh battery said to deliver up to 15 hours of constant screen time.
A 21MP and 8MP camera is featured as well as 4G and NFC connectivity and is backed with a two-year warranty.
The device also comes with an extra loud speaker, programmable smart key and dual SIM slot.
Founder Roy Taylor said: “Our history with JCB goes back to 2007 when we launched the original JCB Toughphone. We produced several successful products including the ‘World’s Toughest Phone’ and the ‘World’s First Floating Phone’. We feel there is a gap in the market for a tough tablet that provides an all-round professional solution.
“The JCB brand is synonymous with hard wearing quality. A brand you can rely on. Working with JCB we have produced a Tough Tablet which is versatile, well built, well priced and from our research fits what the market wants.”
The new JCB Tough Tablet range will be available from Genuine Case Company in November and other resellers and retailers will be announced soon.
