What tablet specifications are recommended, and are there specific devices you recommend or device that are incompatible?
Below is the link to the FAQ section of the Survey Solution, which mentions the following specifications.
Technical Requirements
Survey Solutions software works with Android tablets with the following specifications:
-
Version of Android OS:
-
Android 8.0 or better is required;
-
All versions of Android below 13.0 are no longer supported by the manufacturers, and correspondingly, tablets that can’t be updated to Android 13.0 or above should be considered unsafe for the World Bank projects.
-
-
RAM: Minimum 2.0GB
-
Storage: 16GB of flash memory storage. At least 1GB of available space must be available for Survey Solutions’ use. The Survey Solutions software installation package (.apk) is less than 200MB, but more space will be required during the operation of the software. The ultimate requirements for space depend on the kind of survey (questionnaire) and the mode of use of the tablet (number of assignments, simultaneously started interviews, rejections, use of offline maps, audio recording, etc.
-
WiFi module, which can be used for software setup, upgrades, and synchronization while in the office.
-
3G/4G connectivity module is required for synchronization from the field.
-
Hardware architecture: Survey Solutions Interviewer will not be able to display maps on devices based on x86 architecture, for example, on devices based on the Intel Atom Z3745 chip. This incompatibility is known and will not be fixed. Users installing the Interviewer App on such devices must opt for the version without the maps.
Minimal requirements are not necessarily going to be optimal for a particular application. Better technical characteristics will improve the responsiveness of the program and the user experience. Conduct your independent testing before volume purchases of tablets.
