Brace yourselves, tech enthusiasts! Oscal’s latest powerhouse, the Tank 1, is set to storm the rugged smartphone scene, packing a whopping 20,000mAh battery and making some eyebrow-raising claims about its memory. Let’s dive in!
Built for the Wild
The Oscal Tank 1 is designed to take on extreme conditions, boasting a massive 6.78-inch 2.4K display that’s bright and responsive, perfect for outdoor visibility. Under the hood, it’s powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7050 processor and runs DokeOS 4.2 based on Android 15. But the real showstopper is its claimed 48GB of RAM. Wait, what?
The 48GB RAM Enigma
Oscal’s promoting the Tank 1 with a staggering 48GB RAM figure, but here’s the catch – only a portion of that is actual RAM. The rest is achieved through virtual expansion using internal storage. While this can help manage multiple apps, it’s not the same as having true RAM. So, what’s the real deal? Oscal’s keeping tight-lipped for now.
Impressive Specs, Questionable Claims
Apart from the RAM mystery, the Tank 1’s specs are impressive. It’s got a triple-camera setup with night vision, 5G connectivity, and AI tools for content creation. Oscal claims it can last up to 1,080 hours on standby or several days of active use, with 55W fast charging for quick top-ups. But with such a large battery, heat management and bulk are concerns.
Tough as Nails
Oscal’s promising durability with IP68 and IP69K ratings, MIL-STD-810H certification, and resistance to drops, water, and extreme pressure. It’s even said to operate in temperatures from -50°C to 70°C. Now that’s rugged!
Pricing & Availability
The Oscal Tank 1 is set to launch on October 20, with sales starting on Amazon. The 12GB + 256GB model will retail for €379.99, while the 16GB + 512GB variant will be €399.99. But until we see independent tests, we’re keeping our excitement in check.
So, is the Oscal Tank 1 the ultimate rugged smartphone, or is it all just smoke and mirrors? Stay tuned to find out!
