ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 vs Getac F110-EX G7
These two tablets do different jobs. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 is an 8-inch Android tablet, and the Getac F110-EX G7 is an 11.6-inch Windows 11 Pro tablet on a 13th-generation Intel Core processor. Both are intrinsically safe (Ex ic), certified for Zone 2/22 in gas group IIC, and neither allows USB in the hazardous area. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 is rated T5 against T4 and publishes ATEX and IECEx certificates, while our data has an IECEx certificate only for the Getac F110-EX G7. The Getac is certified to +60 °C and has a replaceable, hot-swappable battery. Here is how they compare, and which we would choose for which team.

Our verdict
Which should you choose?
Start with the software. If your crews run Windows applications or need a large screen for drawings and work packs in Zone 2, only the Getac F110-EX G7 fits, and it brings a replaceable battery and a ceiling of +60 °C. If they work on Android with a pen, scan with a certified accessory, need a published ATEX certificate or have gases that ignite between 100 °C and 135 °C, we would choose the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2. Neither is certified for Zone 1.
Choose the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 if…
- Your hazardous-area study includes gases that ignite between 100 °C and 135 °C: it is rated T5 (100 °C) and T85 °C for dust, against T4 and T130 °C for the Getac F110-EX G7.
- Your site or client needs a published ATEX certificate: ecom lists EPS 24 ATEX 1 257 X, while Getac states ATEX certification for the Getac F110-EX G7 but the certificate isn’t published.
- You work under North American rules: the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 has an SGS listing for Class I and II Division 2 and Class III at T5, and our data has no North American listing for the Getac F110-EX G7.
- Your crews use a headset in the zone: its 3.5 mm audio port may be used with matching intrinsically safe audio equipment such as the ecom HS-Ex 01 J, while the Getac F110-EX G7’s certificate bars every connection interface in the hazardous area.
- Your site restricts cameras: a camera-free version of the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 is available, and our data does not confirm one for the Getac F110-EX G7.
Choose the Getac F110-EX G7 if…
- Your crews run desktop Windows software in the zone: it runs Windows 11 Pro on an x86 Intel Core i5 or i7 with 16 GB of RAM (32 GB optional), where the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 is Android only.
- You read drawings and work packs on site: its screen is 11.6 inches at 1,920 × 1,080 and 1,200 nits, against 8 inches at 600 nits.
- Your crews work shifts longer than a battery: its batteries are user-replaceable with hot swap (Getac’s “LifeSupport”), changed outside the hazardous area, while the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2’s battery is not user-replaceable.
- Your sites run hot: it is certified from −21 °C to +60 °C ambient, against −20 °C to +55 °C for the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2.
- Your team scans labels and tags all shift: it offers a built-in 1D/2D imager and an HF RFID reader as options, where the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 scans with a wireless accessory or its camera.
Key differences
Where they differ
Temperature class
- ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2
- T5 (≤ 100 °C)
- Getac F110-EX G7
- T4 (≤ 135 °C)
T5 keeps the surface at or below 100 °C and T4 at or below 135 °C. T4 is fine for most gases but not those that ignite below 135 °C, so check the ignition temperatures of your substances against the class before anything else.
ATEX certificate
- ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2
- EPS 24 ATEX 1 257 X
- Getac F110-EX G7
- Not published
ecom publishes ATEX certificate EPS 24 ATEX 1 257 X for the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2. For the Getac F110-EX G7, Getac states ATEX certification but the certificate isn’t published, and our data holds an IECEx certificate only. If your site works under ATEX, ask Getac for the certificate before you buy.
Windows or Android
- ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2
- Not possible (Android; Samsung DeX gives a desktop-style Android UI)
- Getac F110-EX G7
- Built in (Windows 11 Pro, x86)
The Getac F110-EX G7 runs Windows 11 Pro on an x86 processor, so desktop Windows software can run on it. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 is Android: Samsung DeX gives a desktop-style Android interface, not Windows software.
User-replaceable battery
- ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2
- No
- Getac F110-EX G7
- Yes
The Getac F110-EX G7’s batteries are user-replaceable and hot-swappable, changed outside the hazardous area only. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2’s is not user-replaceable. ecom quotes up to 14 hours, and our data has no battery-life figure for Getac, so we do not compare runtime.
In the field
Head to head, by kind of work
Gas coverage and certification
Edge: ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2
Both tablets are certified at protection level Gc/Dc for gas group IIC and dust group IIIC, and both are intrinsically safe (Ex ic). The temperature class separates them. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 is T5, with maximum surface temperatures of 100 °C for gas and 85 °C for dust. The Getac F110-EX G7 is T4 and 130 °C for dust, and its marking adds “op is” for inherently safe optical radiation. T4 is fine for most gases, but not those that ignite below 135 °C. The Getac’s ambient range is −21 °C to +60 °C, against −20 °C to +55 °C for ecom. Neither is for Zone 1.
The paperwork differs too. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 has ATEX and IECEx certificates with published numbers and an SGS North American listing, at T5, with an ambient limit of +50 °C and dust group IIIB under the NEC and CEC. The Getac F110-EX G7 has IECEx EPS 21.0079X, issue 2, which names the model “F110-Exc” without the generation, so the match to the G7 is ours and unconfirmed. Getac also states ATEX, but the certificate isn’t published, and our data has no North American listing for it.
Operating system and performance
Edge: Getac F110-EX G7
The Getac F110-EX G7 is a Windows tablet. It runs Windows 11 Pro, though the maker does not state the edition year, on a 13th-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 with 16 GB of DDR5 memory (32 GB optional) and a 256 GB NVMe SSD, with options up to 2,000 GB. Windows 11 is supported while it is kept on a current version, under Microsoft’s Modern Lifecycle, and our data gives no end date. For crews who need desktop software, that settles the choice.
The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 is an Android tablet with a Samsung Exynos 1380, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with a microSD slot up to 1 TB. It is Android Enterprise Recommended and runs Samsung Knox 3.10. ecom states security updates until 2032, a date our data flags as unconfirmed, and our data lists Android 16 from a single source. It has 5G Sub-6 and 4G LTE, with a Wi-Fi-only version also available. The Getac has Wi-Fi 6E, with optional 4G LTE or 5G Sub-6.
Screen, camera and weight
Even
The Getac F110-EX G7 has an 11.6-inch optically bonded screen at 1,920 × 1,080 and 1,200 nits, with a dual-mode touchscreen and a digitizer pen. It weighs 1,680 g. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 has an 8-inch, 1920 × 1200 screen at up to 600 nits, with glove touch, wet-hands operation and a pressure-sensitive S Pen included. Its 595 g comes from a single source and ecom’s own figures vary, so we make no weight comparison. Glove and wet touch are not in our data for the Getac, which means unverified, not absent.
On cameras, the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 has a 13 MP autofocus rear camera with 8x digital zoom and a 5 MP front camera, and lists 4K video at 30 fps. The Getac F110-EX G7 has an 8 MP autofocus rear camera and a 5 MP front webcam, with an optional Windows Hello camera. Our data has no video figure for Getac. ecom rates its tablet IP68 and the Getac is IP66. Our data has no IP code in the ecom Ex certificate, so IP68 is ecom’s own rating.
Battery, charging and scanning in the zone
Edge: Getac F110-EX G7
Neither tablet may be charged in the hazardous area. The Getac F110-EX G7 uses user-replaceable batteries, 2 × 2,680 mAh as standard with a 2 × 4,200 mAh option, and Getac’s LifeSupport technology allows hot swaps, in non-hazardous areas only. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2’s 5,050 mAh battery is not user-replaceable. ecom quotes up to 14 hours, and our data has no battery-life figure for Getac, so we cannot compare runtime. Our data does not state hot swap for ecom.
In the zone, the Getac’s certificate bars every connection interface: USB, Thunderbolt, DC-in, docking, LAN and serial. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 allows no wired connection in the Ex area either, but its 3.5 mm audio port may be used with matching intrinsically safe audio equipment such as the ecom HS-Ex 01 J. For scanning, the Getac offers a built-in 1D/2D imager and an HF RFID reader as factory options. The certificate covers the optional internal modules it names, so confirm that the options you order are among them. ecom’s Ident-Ex 02 wireless scanner is Ex-rated.

FAQ
Common questions
Is the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 better than the Getac F110-EX G7?
Neither is better across the board, because they do different jobs. The Getac F110-EX G7 is the choice for Windows software, an 11.6-inch screen and a replaceable battery. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 suits Android teams, sites with gases that need T5 and sites that need a published ATEX certificate. Both are certified for Zone 2/22.
Which tablet should I choose if my crews need Windows?
The Getac F110-EX G7. It runs Windows 11 Pro on an x86 Intel Core processor. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 is an Android tablet and cannot run desktop Windows software.
Is the Getac F110-EX G7 ATEX certified?
Getac states ATEX certification, but the certificate isn’t published. Our data holds IECEx EPS 21.0079X, which names the model “F110-Exc”, and the match to this generation is ours. The ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 has published ATEX and IECEx certificates.
Can either tablet be used in Zone 1?
No. Both are certified to protection level Gc, which covers Zone 2 only. The Zone 1 step up in ecom’s range is the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ1.
Can you charge either tablet in the hazardous area?
No. Both must be charged outside it, and batteries are changed outside it too. The Getac F110-EX G7’s batteries are user-replaceable and hot-swappable, and the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2’s battery is not user-replaceable.
Are both tablets approved for North America?
Our data lists a North American certificate for the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 only: an SGS listing for Class I and II Division 2 and Class III at T5, with the ambient limited to +50 °C. It lists none for the Getac F110-EX G7, which means unverified, so ask Getac if you need one.
How much do the ecom Tab-Ex 05 DZ2 and Getac F110-EX G7 cost?
Prices depend on volume, configuration and region, so both are on request. Contact us for a price.
