On August 18, 2025, Blackview officially unveiled its new Active 12 Pro for a global audience. This tablet is a first of its kind. It’s a rugged 5G tablet that comes with a DLP projector built right in. This projector offers 200 lumens of brightness, full 1080P resolution, and auto-focus. The tablet brings together extreme toughness, a portable projector, top-notch performance, and smart AI features. It also boasts all-day battery life, all packed into one device.
Built for the Bumps and Bruises of Life
This tablet isn’t just tough; it’s built like a tank. It’s designed for people who work on the go, out in the field, or just love spending time outdoors. The Active 12 Pro goes beyond what many rugged devices offer. It holds IP68 and IP69K ratings, meaning it’s highly resistant to dust and water. It also meets MIL-STD-810H military standards for durability.
Its reinforced corners and anti-shock protections mean it can handle drops from 1.5 meters, or even free falls from up to 12 meters. This tablet can survive up to 2.2 tons of pressure. It works just fine in extreme temperatures, from a freezing –20°C all the way up to a hot 60°C. The structure is also flame-retardant, meeting UL94 standards. Its screen uses Gorilla Glass 5 for extra protection. Plus, the inside of the tablet is safe from static electricity, thanks to its ESD protection design. Whether you’re on a construction site, in a cold storage warehouse, or working in the desert, this tablet promises to keep going.
Project Your World, Anywhere
One of the coolest things about the Active 12 Pro is its built-in projector. With 200 lumens and 1080P resolution, it can create a clear image up to 120 inches wide. The colors look vibrant and the picture is sharp, even on uneven spots like tent walls, rocks, or the side of a vehicle.
Setting it up is simple. It has auto-focus and can correct distorted images, which is called keystone correction. There’s also a special screen just for the projector. This makes it perfect for sharing work projects with a team, leading training sessions, or simply enjoying movies. It supports Widevine L1, so you can stream your favorite shows in Full HD.
Power for Days, Not Just Hours
Forget constantly looking for an outlet. The Active 12 Pro comes with a massive 30000 mAh battery. It also charges incredibly fast with 120W rapid charging. This means it can last up to 112 days in standby mode. You can even use it to charge your other gadgets.
It also has a built-in camping flashlight. This 400-lumen light has a dual beam, making it perfect for dark places or emergency situations. It’s a handy feature for anyone spending time off the grid.
Serious Power and Storage
Under the hood, this tablet is a performer. It runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G processor, built on a 4nm process. It also has an APU 655 AI engine that delivers 4.5 TOPS of AI power. This tablet can have up to 48GB of RAM (16GB built-in, plus 32GB expandable). For your files, it offers 1TB of storage, which you can expand up to 3TB. This setup keeps things running smoothly, even when you’re doing many things at once or using demanding apps.
Smart Cameras for Any Scene
The Active 12 Pro doesn’t skimp on cameras. It has a 108MP Samsung main camera with Nona-Pixel Plus technology. This helps it take great pictures even when the light is poor. The front-facing camera is 50MP, which is perfect for clear video calls.
The tablet also uses artificial intelligence to make your photos better. Features like one-touch sky replacement and automatic touch-ups help you get good shots easily, especially when you’re out in the field.
Clear Screen, Rich Sound
The 11-inch screen boasts a 2K resolution and gets really bright, up to 650 nits. It also has an adaptive refresh rate of 90Hz, which makes scrolling and videos look smooth. Plus, it’s certified by TÜV SÜD for low blue light, which is easier on your eyes. For sound, it features Dual BOX speakers with Smart PA for boosted audio. The tablet also supports PC Mode 2.0, multi-window multitasking, and a stylus, turning it into a capable portable work tool.
AI Software at Your Fingertips
The Active 12 Pro runs on DokeOS_P 4.2, which is based on Android 15. It includes Blackview’s own Doke AI. This AI integrates powerful engines like DeepSeek-R1, Gemini 2.0, and ChatGPT-4o mini. It lets you use voice commands and get helpful suggestions on screen. You can also use creative apps like Hi Doki, ImageX, VidGen, and Soundle. Blackview promises three years of over-the-air (OTA) software updates for the device.
