Review on Weather Sunlight Readable Resistant Processor by Delbert Potter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Perfect for motorbikes or boats

About a year ago I converted my old Nexus 7 tablet into a poor man's infotainment center on my Victory Cross Country bike. It looked great in the garage, but it was almost impossible to read in the sun, so I looked for a tablet that could read in the sun. I've learned that, first, there aren't many of them, and second, they cost about a few thousand dollars. Then I came across this gem. I've had it for about a month now and I couldn't be happier. It does exactly what it says on the tin: it's absolutely readable in direct sunlight, even with sunglasses. These photos were taken in direct sunlight; The sun was behind me and was directly on the screen. It's still fully legible. I had several pre-purchase questions and a few post-purchase questions, all of which were answered quickly and to my satisfaction by Xenarc; I would say the customer service is top notch. The only caveats I can think of (and they're not breaking convention in any way): - They say it's 4G compatible with a SIM card, which is true, but the only provider I've found is that it is with T- works. mobile phone, mobile phone. They're not my regular cell phone provider, but that turned out to be no big deal. You can get a 6G plan from them for $25 a month with no contract, so I just pay for it in the summer when I need it. You don't have to have a data plan; You can connect your phone as a WiFi hotspot, but I found that clumsy and inconsistent. The volume with my bluetooth stereo driver is pretty low so I have to use a volume boost app which is far from ideal. I just need to investigate this question further. The photos show that the glossy screen has some reflections/glare. I can try a matte screen protector, but to be honest it's legible enough that it doesn't bother me much. Overall I would say this is an excellent product; He does what he has to do and he does it admirably.
