Hello,

We are having issues with our current iPhone 13 pro max phones and overheating during the summertime. The screen gets very dark and is difficult to see. Looking for input on rugged devices/smart phones for field use in coordination with ESRI Field Maps and Trimble DA2 Antenna?

Thanks!

Hi Carson, I can recommend the Trimble TDC6 ruggedized Android device

We use a CT8X2 and for the money, it has been good. Currently being used in SW Florida. It did give us some trouble at first but then it was fine. That trouble wasn't heat related. 

Send me a PM if you want information on other ruggedized tablet sized field computers. I don't sell them but had to read up on them.  

I would consider reviewing the history of cellular connectivity issues with the TDC650 before buying a TDC6. Then review the history of the same issue with the TDC150. It seems Trimble puts inadequate cellular radios in their equipment, starting with the TDC150 (really, it's probably part of a System on a Chip).  We had to get service from a company called DAC to make the TDC150 work reliably. 

The last reliable data collection device made by Trimble for the GIS Mapping market was the Geo7x. 

Sorry to be mr. negative but no one else is saying it.

We have had good luck using the Samsung Tab Active 3 Tablets with the Trimble DA2 Antenna.  They have 8-inch screens are IP68 rated and meet the MIL STD 810H specs.  They hold up well in extreme heat and cold temperatures.  We have had them for a couple of years and now Samsung has the Tab Active 4 and 5 out with the same ratings and specs.

@Luis Mercado - would you mind telling me where (country, city) you are using Samsung Tab Active 3 Tablets? I'm interested in terms of heat and humidity tolerance.
