Blackview Active 12 Pro: Imagine a robust tablet that’s “a rugged beast redefining smart rugged lifestyle… your on-the-go theater” In hands-on coverage, it impresses with its unapologetic ruggedness—featuring an IronShell chassis, reinforced corners, and certifications like IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H—meaning it can withstand dust, water, drops up to 12 m, extreme temperatures, high pressure, and even submersion.
Its most eye-catching feature? A built-in 200-lumen, 1080p DLP projector, capable of projecting a 120-inch image with autofocus, keystone correction, and a distance sensor—turning just about any surface into a big screen in seconds. Complementing that is a dual-beam 400-lumen camping light with SOS and strobe modes—great for outdoor adventures or emergencies.
Despite its muscular size and weight (about 1.5 kg), the Active 12 Pro feels more like a toolbox than just a tablet.
