Blackview Active 5 rugged tablet with IP68/IP69K and Android 15

Blackview has unveiled the new rugged Active 5 tablet, built for those who want maximum durability without paying over the odds. The device is certified to the MIL-STD-810H military standard and carries high IP68/IP69K dust- and water-resistance ratings. In practice, that means the tablet can withstand drops, dust exposure, powerful water jets, and even brief immersion to depths of up to 1.5 meters.

The tablet features an 8.68-inch display with a 90 Hz refresh rate and a 1340×800 resolution. Inside is a UNISOC T615 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage. The 6,600 mAh battery supports 18 W fast charging. Despite the reinforced shell and sealing, it weighs just 510 grams. The spec sheet favors practicality over flash, which fits its brief.

Active 5 runs on Android 15 with the company’s DocOS P 4.2 on top, and supports two SIM cards plus 4G LTE connectivity. At around $247 (≈23,000 rubles), it comes across as an appealing pick for builders, travelers, and fans of active leisure. That pricing lands it in a sweet spot for people who value resilience first.

Blackview appears to have struck a rare balance—an affordable yet genuinely rugged device that could stand in as a budget alternative to professional models from Panasonic and Samsung.
