Looking for experiences with Emdoor devices

Hi everyone!

 

Posted this in the off topic part of the community since my question has absolutely nothing to do with work but more with what I like to do outside office hours. 

 

I have a motorcycle which I use to explore Europe, preferably besided the paved roads. Therefore I use an old phone with DMD2 app for navigation purposed. Its an old Nokia 7.2. It was slow when I bought it, and it sloooow now😂. Screen isn't easy to read and its just to small. I'm not enjoying using it and its getting annoying. 

 

So i'm in the market for a rugged device and have a short list:

  • Samsung Tab Active 3 or 5
    • Looking for 1000nits brightness, and those don't reach that
    • Pogo connection is a plus over USB-C
  • DMD T865 or DMD T865X
    • Perfect device, but expensive, not sure if I want to spend that kind of money now
  • Random cheap tablet such as the HDM T21, or Samsung tab A9 with a rugged case
    • Not dust proof enough, not bright enough, and USb-C charging isn't optimal

 

In my search for a rugged device i've come across loads of Ali express cheap stuff, but I don't like ordering such a cheap device from Ali without being able to install a custom rom to make sure there isnt any malware attached to my purchase. 

 

But i've also come across the brand Emdoor, they sell to companies only (not a problem for me) and reading online I see some positive reviews. 

 

I was wandering if anyone here has experience with Emdoor as a OEM but also with their hardware.

 

Thanks! 

Michel

    I've never heard of them, but I'm not sure I would trust a company that can't even get SSL set up correctly on their website.

    That is indeed not a very good advertisement for them 😆, but I must admit, I haven't had this error the past few weeks i've visited the site. 

     

    But yes, if they can't get this to work I might not trust them.

    @Michel Just curious if you have an update on this? 

     

    Did you find the rugged device of your dreams? If so, have you tested it out on the roads already? 🏍️
