The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using the HOTWAV R9 Pro 2025 for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly blown away by what this tablet offers at this price point. The 11-inch 2K display is sharp and vibrant—perfect for streaming, gaming, or working on the go. Android 14 runs super smooth, and the Octa-Core processor handles multitasking effortlessly.One of the standout features is the massive 20800mAh battery—it lasts for days on a single charge! Add to that the 20GB RAM + 256GB storage (expandable up to 2TB), and you’ve got a device that feels future-proof.The rugged design is no joke—IP68/IP69K waterproof and dustproof, making it ideal for outdoor work or travel. The cameras are surprisingly good for a rugged tablet too: the 64MP rear shooter takes crisp photos, and the 16MP front cam is great for video calls.Bonus points for 4G dual SIM support, 5G WiFi, Face ID, GPS, and OTG—it truly feels like they thought of everything.If you need a rugged yet high-performance tablet, this one is a total winner. Highly recommend!

Bought this for use on our day charter powerboat as our Chartplotter had stopped working ($2500 to replace compared to $280 for this tablet) and also as a portable backup for ocean yacht deliveries that we do.Runs navionics with wifi ais input.Also bluetooths in the Garmin in reach satellite comms with nav software. The 2 tb sd card(not included)has my entire music library and chart catalouge for the Canada USA South America on. Also plenty of room for a good number of movies to alleviate the boredom of offshore life. With a sim card and data I even take credit card payments on this when we do day charters.Shockproof,waterproof suited to a heavy marine environment.Sometimes forget to take it off the boat during washdown with no ill effects.The device is heavy in comparison to normal tablets but the rugged nature of the tablet outweighs the weight issue.A bonus to the weight and rubberized casing means you can put it down on a rolling boat and it stays there. Lighter tablets would become an airborne FrisbeeMy last regular tablet bent during packing my delivery bag and shipping it home. Totally my fault and beyond the abuse that would be put on a device used in urban settings. But the reality is that I operate outside and offshore in places I shouldn't tell my mother about so a device of this strength will cope with not only a rough environment but also an owner who doesn't always have the time to treat the device gently.Haven't run over it with my truck yet but it's surprising how many times that's happened out in the boonies. I'm thinking it would take the hit well.The hand strap is strong and secure. I am convinced that with the strap it could double as a shield in hand to hand combat.Screen is bright enough under shade of a bimini and for extra battery life you can take it down to lowest brightness setting for use at night.Did notice that it is best viewed direct, viewing the device from the side does make the screen darker. But not dark enough to be a big issueThe touch screen is sensitive enough to use but does not react to heavy rain hitting the screen and activating functions.My device is mounted in a flush metal bracket on the console and sits well when heading into 20 - 25 knt headwinds and heavy seasEven with a music player running in the background the memory intensive navigation program runs without any glitches that I have experienced on the normal 8gb ram tablets.Battery life lasts a full day on max brightness and full program use and from 8am to 5pm it has not gone below 60% battery.On my other "normal" tablet the battery would only last 6 hrs max using these same programs then shut down. Not usefull when you are tracking ships at 3am off Norfolk VA.It will top up the battery from that level with a fast charger in about an hour.For the price to utility comparison, I bought it as a disposable item to try out. I am very happy with it ad it will be used every day.Added an aluminum folding stand for TV mode viewing. Below decks or in the bunk which makes it very practical to use pretty much everywhere.Next project is to strap it to my DJ mavik drone control for max visibility and control.Overall very happy with this product after 1 month continuous use

This is by far the sturdiest tablet I've ever purchased. I tend to occasionally drop my tablets, but the casing on this one should keep it working just fine. I'm a heavy tablet user throughout the day pretty much every day. It's fast. Runs smooth. So far does not heat up when I play a graphics-intensive game. It came with the handle included in the box, screws for that already in the slots plus 4 extra screws and a rather nice screwdriver with a slightly curved pry type edge. Very nicely packaged as well. Spare screen cover included. It was very easy to do the data transfer from my other tablet. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this purchase. I got a nice discount by purchasing on Black Friday. Seems to be a solidly put together tablet with great graphics and plenty of power. A+If I have any issues with it over time, after reaching out to their customer support, I'll come here and update the review.

It is an absolute beast! With its big and quality display, massive battery, and 20GB RAM + 256GB storage (expandable to 2TB), it handles everything effortlessly. The cameras capture stunning shots, while Android 14 ensures smooth performance.Built to last with waterproofing, it’s perfect for outdoor use. Numerous features like make it ultra-versatile. Whether for work or play, this rugged tablet delivers power, durability, and premium features in one package.

Don't expect included apps to work. It comes with a FM Radio app that needs headphones to work, no big thing. So I order a USB-c headphones and it still says I need a headphone. Problem is the headphones work on all other apps. I contact Hotwav and they claim the headphone must be analog The problem here is simple USB headphones are digital. I asked them to tell me what brand and model will work Sennheiser HD600, Sony MDR-7506) are analogue headphones. Sounds great but There IS NO 3.5mm HOLE IN THIS TABLET. I also informed them of this and this proves they have no idea of there product. It's not that the app doesn't work but how they lie about what it will do.

This is a heavy, thick, robust tablet. I like it, I'm a big man with big hands and I can hold on to this tablet without worrying about dropping it, the only this i don't care for is you can't set the sensitivity of the screen, it came with a thick screen protector and it's difficult to work the screen at times

The media could not be loaded. I'm absolutely loving my HOTWAV R9 Pro! The rugged design and long battery life make it perfect for my outdoor adventures. The camera quality is impressive, and the performance is smooth. It's a great investment for anyone needing a reliable tablet that can withstand rough handling. Highly recommend!
