"One of those manufacturers is Blackview, a company best known for making ruggedized smartphones with thermal cameras. But since tablets are essentially upsized smartphones, it's a natural market for Blackview to get into. Also: Always dropping your phone? This device makes it nearly impossible to fumble And that's a good thing, as the company makes some very good tablets. I know, as I've tested and reviewed quite a few of them over the past few years."
"The Link 8 is a 12.9-inch tablet that's built from the ground up to be thin and light. It measures 8.4 x 11.1 x 0.3 inches (214.2 x 282.98 x 8.4mm) and weighs 1.5 pounds, or 25 ounces. This makes the Link 8 a highly portable unit, perfect for throwing in a bag to take to work or take traveling. It's light enough to hold comfortably in the hand for extended periods during longer browsing or reading sessions."
"At its heart is the 12.7-inch, 2160 x 1600 resolution IPS display that runs at a 90Hz refresh rate. Big enough to get absorbed into whether you're browsing your socials or watching movies. The 300 nits brightness is fine for most indoor environments, such as homes and offices, and is good for extending battery life, but it might not be bright enough to use comfortably in direct sunlight or very bright environments."
