Eleven
inches.
Cut from
metal.

An 11-inch tablet with a CNC-aluminium unibody, a circular HD camera island machined like a lens barrel, laser-drilled speaker grilles, and a hardware privacy switch. Rugged by default, not as an accessory afterthought. Priced for the Indian buyer.

Why we built this — the gap

The people who most need a tablet in India work in the conditions where consumer tablets break.

Field teams, delivery riders, frontline medics, retail auditors, school teachers — the people who most need a tablet in India work in the exact conditions where consumer tablets break. Dust. Heat. Drops. Monsoon. And yet the only “rugged” option they had was either a ₹1.2-lakh import or a spec-lite unbranded import from nowhere. We asked: can we do MIL-STD-810H, IP65, Snapdragon-class silicon, a hardware privacy kill switch, and a conformal-coated board — at a reasonable Indian price, from a Hyderabad line? That's the tablet programme.

Gap 01 — Field
Rugged is a version,
not an accessory

A certified Rugged variant with IP65, MIL-STD-810H, an extended operating temperature range and a rubber bumper-case out of the box. Not a consumer shell in a silicone sleeve.

Gap 02 — Privacy
A switch your
thumb can feel

Mechanical camera shutter and hardware mic kill on every tablet SKU — consumer and rugged. A privacy story enterprises, schools and health workers can explain to a regulator.

Gap 03 — Cost
Industrial-grade,
at Indian prices

Snapdragon / Dimensity 8-class silicon, Gorilla-class glass, Sony optics, 8000 mAh battery — at prices that undercut imported Android rugged by a generation. Reasonable is the business model.

Design principles

A pad engineered by a company that also engineers cameras.

Five principles, same finishing line, same Hyderabad floor as the laptops and the surveillance cameras. One stack.

  1. Principle 01
    The body is the brief.
    Global benchmark · iPad Pro chamfered aluminium unibody InScope's tablet is metal unibody, 8.5 mm thick — no plastic mid-frame, no cosmetic inlays. A pad built by a company that also builds cameras. The circular HD camera island is machined like a lens barrel, not clipped in. The speaker grilles are laser-drilled in the aluminium, not printed on plastic.
  2. Principle 02
    Rugged is a version, not a promise.
    Global benchmark · Panasonic Toughbook · Zebra ET80 · Getac UX10 Rugged is a certified version of the product — shipped with an IP rating, a drop rating, an operating-temperature range. InScope ships a Rugged variant of the 11-inch tablet with IP65 ingress, MIL-STD-810H drop and vibration validation, an extended-temperature envelope, and a rubber bumper-case out of the box. Not an afterthought accessory.
  3. Principle 03
    Reasonable cost is the Indian superpower.
    Global benchmark · the premium-import price tag No one has the BOM-arbitrage argument we have. InScope selects Snapdragon / Dimensity 8-class silicon, Gorilla-class glass, Sony optics, 8 000 mAh batteries — at prices that undercut imported Android rugged by a generation. Reasonable isn't a compromise; it's the business model.
  4. Principle 04
    Privacy is a physical switch.
    House rule · cross-cutting across every InScope product Mechanical camera shutter and hardware mic kill on every tablet SKU, consumer and rugged. Enterprises, schools and health workers all need a privacy story that isn't a setting toggle. If it's off, it's off in silicon. An air gap a teacher, a clinician, or a teenager can see with their thumb.
  5. Principle 05
    Components picked by peer test, not peer spec sheet.
    Global benchmark · Apple's component-selection process Apple's component selection is a process, not a shopping trip. InScope's ISP, sensor, touch controller, antenna tuner are each chosen after on-bench comparison against the equivalent peer product — not by a feature-by-feature match on the distributor's catalogue. A tablet with parts someone engineered in, not a tablet with parts someone ordered.
  6. Supporting
    Four considered colourways. Conformal-coated board.
    House rules · cross-cutting Graphite, Seafoam, Sky, Ocean — anodised, not painted. Conformal-coated PCB for field humidity — a five-year board, not a six-month board. LTE / 5G standard on the Pro and Rugged SKUs, not an accessory. USB-C PD, Wi-Fi 6E / Wi-Fi 7, 7–11 hours continuous, and optics tuned with our own Cristone ISP pipeline.
The engineering story

Four walls. Same doctrine, pocket-sized.

Silicon, structure, imaging and privacy, power — engineered to the same house rules as the laptops and the AIOs.

Wall 01
Silicon

MediaTek Dimensity / Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-class. On-die NPU. Wi-Fi 6E / Wi-Fi 7. LTE / 5G standard on Pro and Rugged — not an accessory.

Wall 02
Structure

CNC aluminium unibody · 8.5 mm thin. 11" IPS 2K panel. Anodised finish. Rugged variant with reinforced corners, a bumper case and an IP65 seal.

HW Wall 03
Imaging & Privacy

13 MP HD rear camera in a machined lens-barrel island. Front-camera pinhole. Mechanical privacy shutter · hardware mic kill. Cristone-aligned ISP tuning — in-house pipeline, not an off-shelf blob.

8000 mAh Wall 04
Power

8 000 mAh battery. USB-C PD. 7–11 hours continuous. Conformal-coated PCB for field humidity — engineered for the monsoon-belt shift, not the showroom.

The range · Mid → Field

One body. Four ways to ship it.

Entry 10-inch for education and first-time enterprise. 11-inch flagship for the consumer desk. An LTE variant for field, logistics, health. A Rugged variant for the loading dock, the substation, the monsoon audit.

A pad engineered
by a company that
also engineers cameras.

Same stack. Same finishing line. Same Hyderabad floor. A rugged version by default, not as a premium accessory. And a privacy switch you can feel with your thumb.
