Tank Pad Ultra Packs a Built-In Projector and Days of Battery Life Into a Tough Tablet Body

8849’s Tank Pad Ultra is a rugged beast, weighing over three pounds and measuring 10.6 x 6.7 x 0.9 inches. On the other hand, it has a lot going for it, including a screw-on handle that hooks securely in the rear and swings out to provide a very sturdy stand for watching or projecting videos. Plus, it’s quite water resistant, so you can take it outside or throw it in a backpack without fear of it breaking.

The Tank Pad Ultra has serious tech credentials, including a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of built-in storage that can be expanded via microSD card. The gorgeous 10.95-inch display boasts 1920×1200 resolution, making everything from web browsing to movie streaming to picture editing look clean and clear. The true standout feature is that it includes a built-in DLP projector with full 1920×1080 resolution and focusing; simply aim it at a wall and it will do the rest. There’s no fumbling around with settings; just sheer, undiluted projection power.

This tablet boasts a large 23,400mAh battery that charges at a respectable 66 watts over USB-C. It also includes a built-in power bank that can recharge other devices on the fly at a rate of 10 watts. This gadget has enough juice to last for days, even if you’re constantly using it, and if you need a little boost, simply utilize the built-in reverse charging capability to charge your phone.

The Tank Pad Ultra also includes two cameras: a 50 megapixel main sensor for stunning daylight photos and a 64 megapixel night vision unit with four infrared LEDs for super-detailed photographs even in complete darkness. On the front, there’s a 32-megapixel camera for video calls that won’t make you seem sleepy. If you’re out in the field and need some light, the built-in camping light on the back provides just enough to see what you’re doing without exhausting the battery.

The Tank Pad Ultra has all of your connectivity needs covered, including dual nano-SIM slots for 5G networks, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC for super-fast pairing. You also get USB-C, microSD, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for good measure. Of course, all of the usual suspects are present, including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, ambient light, and distance detector.

So, when can you get your hands on this bad boy? The Tank Pad Ultra will be available on April 10th and may be purchased directly from 8849tech’s website. What about the price? There’s no word on that just yet, but if previous models are any indication, it should be around $540.
