What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a replacement Android 12 tablet specifically designed for the MATT Connect, APH's portable video magnifier and desktop magnification system. It upgrades older MATT Connect units to the V2.1 hardware spec, bringing a newer Android version that supports updated software and improved performance for the magnification system. This is not a standalone product — it only makes sense as a component swap for someone who already owns a MATT Connect and needs to replace or upgrade the tablet portion. Worth noting: APH has discontinued this item and announced a new magnifier is planned for 2026, so current stock is likely limited and support going forward may be constrained.
