We are currently using Samsung galaxy tab A8’s and A9’s for the crews to use for alloy. We were just wondering if there was any other tablets that would be better for this use as we constantly have issues with lagging (and a signal issue that is caused by the carrier)
Just wondering what everyone else uses so we can get an idea of whether it’s better for us to spend more on an all singing all dancing tablet, or if we will run into the same issues.
The tablets are locked down with an intune launcher which just has the alloy app, whatsapp and waze on it.
Hi Nic
We have just bought some Samsung S9 FE and the feedback so far is that they are better than the S6’s (2020) they replaced. We also have some S8’s but the S9 FE’s came back at a really good price through our ICT team plus they are rated at IP68 which for safety team are a must. One of our sub contractors has a Tab A9 and the safety team looked at it but they felt the screen was too small for them.
Signal is an issue for us as corporately we are on a Vodafone contract and there are parts of the county which is just a black spot for signal, but the gangs know now where these are and get round it by not syncing in the areas and swapping to offline maps.
