Lidköping, Sweden, January 30, 2019 -- Handheld Group, a leading manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, today announced the new NAUTIZ X6 – an ultra-rugged phablet—phone plus tablet— that combines the big-screen functionality of a tablet with the go-anywhere performance of a rugged phone.

The new Nautiz X6 Android phablet is ideal for industrial and field applications, with the reliability to perform in challenging conditions, and specialized accessories professional users require. With the MaxGo Android software suite, an IP67 rating and a lightweight, ultra-mobile design, the Nautiz X6 delivers a trailblazing combination of practicality and productivity.

The ultra-rugged new Nautiz X6 offers:

• An 8-core processor and Android 8.0 (Oreo) operating system.

The Nautiz X6 comes with Handheld’s proprietary MaxGo software suite for Android and meets the needs of businesses with teams of workers in the field. MaxGo quickly applies universal settings to multiple devices, and also allows custom application access for more efficient and safe use of the device.

The Nautiz X6 is designed for use in the most challenging outdoor and industrial environments. This rugged phablet is MIL-STD-810G tested for drops, vibrations, humidity, extreme temperatures and varying altitudes. And the 8000 mAh battery will run for a full shift and beyond, even with heavy use.
