Chinese makers Hotwav already have some interesting rugged phones under their belt, most recently the very affordable Hotwav W10 model. But because the wheels of progress are never stopping, it’s time to introduce a new one. And that’s exactly what they will do in September with the new and upgraded Hotwav W10 Pro. It should once carry a very customer friendly price, but will as well offer some upgraded specs and features. So let’s take a first detailed look at it.
The design of new model is mainly based on the original one, so we can mostly expect some inside changes to the device. Display also stays the same with nice 6.53-inch incell HD+ one with 1600 x 720 pixel resolution and 20:9 aspect ratio. Processor gets a little bump to Helio P22, but now supported by 6 GB RAM and 64 GB of expandable storage with a microSD slot as well. But the main difference comes with the cameras, because the rear setup is now a triple one with 20MP main, 8MP ultra-wide and auxiliary sensor. Plus 5MP selfie camera for the Hotwav W10 Pro.
