Tablet done right?

As the name suggests, the Brave Ark's main highlight is the ability to switch from a typical Android tablet UI to an actual Desktop experience.

The desktop mode should enable users to have a PC-like multitasking by having multiple windows opened right on their screen. This reminds us of the HUAWEI Desktop Mode, which was discontinued, and the Samsung Dex mode.

In front, the device features a 12.95-inch LCD display with a 2.8K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10 support, and a peak brightness of 700 nits.

Inside, it is powered by the 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Storage is expandable via microSD card up to 1TB.

The tablet is equipped with a 14,550mAh battery supporting USB-C 33W fast charging, with claimed usage of up to two days on a single charge.

For imaging, it includes a 13MP rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, along with a 5MP front-facing camera.

Other features include an eight-speaker setup with DTS audio support and 2x microphones.
