This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: Xplore launches new XSLATE D10 rugged tablet PC.

Xplore Technologies' flagship Android rugged tablet, the XSLATE D10 with 10.1 inch screen, is now available with the upgraded Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system.

This latest OS improvement brings security, power management and mobile device management enhancements.

The new Android 6.0.1, Marshmallow OS improves the battery life of the Xplore XSLATE D10 rugged tablet more than 10%, extending the use time beyond eight hours depending on usage and power management settings. Google's latest battery-optimisation techniques work in combination with a new Marshmallow-specific application standby feature to prevent workflow applications from draining the battery and causing undue disruptions to the user.

A hot-swappable second battery option provides up to 22 hours of continuous work time. The upgraded XSLATE D10 tablets also provide IT managers and users with several enhancements to the Android for Work and Voice Assist APIs, each of which will prove indispensable to organizations seeking greater worker efficiency and, therefore, faster application responsiveness.

The XSLATE D10 is noted for its user-friendly features, including a bright outdoor-viewable multi-touch display, eight standard I/O ports, and 4G LTE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi technologies.

It also comes with several collaboration tools that enable hi-res image capture and video conferencing as well as multi-user login. The rugged tablet's numerous MIL-STD-810G tested, IP65-rated and ATEX/C1Z2-certified Hazardous Location safeguards combine with a 64GB Solid State Drive (SSD) to keep workers productive – and their work protected – in every environment.
