Many of you may not know the brand behind one of the launches of the day. Kyocera is not a company that stands out for its popularity, even less in the field of tablets, since its trajectory has been almost entirely dedicated to smartphones, specifically rugged smartphones, devices built to withstand even more than the Nokia 3310 . The tablet Kyocera QuaTab 01 that goes on sale today in Japan is not a rugged tablet, although it does have some typical characteristics such as water resistance.
Last year it seemed that water resistance could become one of the standard features of the mid-range, especially on smartphones but also on tablets. Manufacturers such as Samsung and its Galaxy S5 received IPXX certifications but in 2015 there has been a clear step backwards. Despite its undoubted usefulness, it does not seem that it is something that particularly attracts the attention of users, so the Koreans, to continue with the example, have preferred to eliminate it to favor a better design.
This once again leaves Sony as the main manufacturer of submersible devices and almost the only one of tablets with this capacity. Both Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact last year like the X launched this year are certified IP68 which guarantees that it will not be damaged if the immersion does not exceed one and a half meters deep and is not more than 30 minutes below the surface.
People Kyocera, Sony compatriots, are among the few that this year have launched a non-rugged tablet with this quality, and it is that Japanese users are among those who value it the most, as evidenced by the fact that Sharp and Fujitsu they also often build submersible equipment. Without further ado, we go on to review the rest of the specifications of this interesting Kyocera Qua Tab 01.
It has a screen of 8 inches with Full HD resolution (1.920 x 1.200 pixels) and Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 615 with support for 64 bits and four cores that work at 1,5 GHz. As for memory, it has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage internal expandable via microSD up to 128 GB more. As the main camera, it mounts a sensor 5 megapixels while in high school it has a 2 megapixel one. Offers 802.11ac WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.1, a 4.000 mAh battery and Android 5.1 Lollipop cas an operating system. Its price is about $280 to change and unfortunately we do not have details about its availability in the international market.
