The Unihertz 8849 Tank Pad features a 10.95″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels at 207 ppi, and a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion. The display does not use branded damage-resistant glass, sapphire glass, or e-paper technology, and it does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision content formats.
The tablet is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 8200 chipset, built on a 4 nm process with an 8-thread CPU configuration running at up to 3.1 GHz using big.LITTLE and HMP scheduling, alongside a Mali G610 MP6 GPU clocked at 950 MHz with DirectX 12 and OpenCL 2 support. It comes with 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM at 6400 MHz across 4 memory channels, offering up to 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth and a maximum supported memory of 16 GB, paired with 512 GB of internal storage expandable up to 2 TB via an external memory slot. The SoC includes integrated LTE, integrated graphics, NX bit, and TrustZone security, with a 4 MB L3 cache, a 6W TDP, and 64-bit support, while the device ships with Android 14 and recorded Geekbench 6 scores of 1224 single-core and 3891 multi-core.
The main camera offers a 50 MP BSI CMOS sensor with an f/1.95 aperture, dual LED flash, video light, touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during recording, and manual controls for ISO, focus, exposure, and white balance, while video recording reaches up to 2160p at 30 fps; notably, the camera does not support optical zoom, optical image stabilization, slow-motion recording, HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, timelapse, burst mode, panorama, or 3D capture. On the front, a 16 MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture handles video calls and self-portraits, though it lacks a dedicated LED flash. HDR mode is available on the main camera, but neither a dual-tone nor RGB flash is included.
The Unihertz 8849 Tank Pad includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a built-in radio, covering the essentials for both speaker and wired audio output. On the wireless audio side, the device does not support any aptX variants (including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, or aptX Lossless), nor does it support LDAC.
The Unihertz 8849 Tank Pad is equipped with a 21000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports fast charging and includes a battery level indicator. The battery is non-removable and does not support wireless charging.

Biometric security covers both a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition, while sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, though there is no barometer, iris scanner, or infrared sensor. The device features a built-in projector, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and device tracking, and it supports multi-user operation, split screen, picture-in-picture, widgets, dark mode, dynamic and theme customization, extra dim mode, media picker, full-page screenshots, customizable notifications, sharing intents, child lock, and battery health check. On the privacy side, it offers clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and app tracking blocking, though it does not block cross-site tracking, include Mail Privacy Protection, or support Wi-Fi password sharing, Quick Start, focus modes, app offloading, or direct OS vendor updates.
In Geekbench 5 testing, the device recorded a single-core score of 998 and a multi-core score of 3889, and it uses DDR5 memory.
