5.6-Inch UHF DMR Smartphone Navigator with Hema Nav by Alpine
Spend enough time off the bitumen and you start wanting your navigation and communication in one device rather than juggling two. The Alpine HX-Z6 is a rugged 5.6-inch Android smartphone with built-in UHF and DMR radio, Hema on-road and off-road navigation, GPS tracking and full access to Android apps.
It's not just a phone that happens to survive a corrugated track. With Google Play access, Android Auto, dual-SIM support and a 10,850 mAh battery, the HX-Z6 is built to keep working whether you're touring, riding, hiking or exploring somewhere with no phone signal at all.
Built-in UHF and DMR Communication
The HX-Z6 packs a 2-watt UHF analogue radio with digital DMR functionality, giving you walkie-talkie communication that doesn't rely on mobile coverage. Alpine's supplied figures put the range at up to 10 km in open areas and up to 5 km in urban terrain. A removable antenna adds flexibility, and support for both analogue and digital modes makes it a versatile option out in the field.
Hema On-Road and Off-Road Navigation
The HX-Z6 ships with Hema's detailed on-road and off-road mapping, covering everything from city streets to remote tracks. Hema's Explorer Maps add 3D off-road mapping and topographical detail, including elevation lines and track difficulty, giving you more to go on when you're planning a route through unfamiliar country.
Route planning, turn-by-turn directions and a smooth handover between on-road and off-road navigation are all built in, along with campsites and points of interest for planning stops, accommodation and services along the way. Hema 4WD Maps are available separately for access to the wider Hema 4WD map collection, and online updates keep mapping, points of interest and functionality current.
Built for Tough Conditions
Dust and shock resistance, IP68/IP69K protection, and a 1.5 metre/30-minute water resistance rating back up the HX-Z6's MIL-STD-810H certification. Gloves Mode keeps the touchscreen responsive when you're wearing gloves, which comes in handy when you're riding, working outdoors or travelling somewhere cold.
Long Battery Life
A 10,850 mAh battery with 33 W USB-C fast charging is built to keep the HX-Z6 going when you're away from a power outlet. Alpine specifies up to 600 hours of standby time and up to 39 hours of talk time; actual battery life will vary with how the device is used.
Android Apps and Everyday Features
Running Android with Google Mobile Services means the HX-Z6 has full Google Play Store access and supports Android Auto for everyday driving. There's 256 GB of internal storage with room for up to 2 TB more via microSD, and a triple-card-slot design that fits dual Nano SIMs alongside the dedicated microSD slot. Round that out with NFC and Google Pay, Face ID and fingerprint unlocking, built-in FM radio, and 4G connectivity with VoLTE HD calling, and it covers daily use as well as it covers remote touring.
