Until june 2024, all AIR³ 7.3 (plus and non plus) were delivered with Android 11. All these units can be upgraded with Android 13. AIR³ 7.3_A13 or AIR³ 7.3+_A13 are directly delivered with Android 13.

The main hardware difference between all AIR³ 7.3 and all AIR³ 7.35 is the screen. AIR³ 7.3 had a 1000 nits screen, while all AIR³ 7.35 have a 2200 nits screen.

AIR³ 7.3_A13 and AIR³ 7.3+_A13 have a 1300 nits screen. There are therefore 2 main differences between the AIR³ 7.3 family and the AIR³ 7.3_A13 family: a slightly brighter screen and Android 13. The rest is exactly the same.

Visually, the difference between the 7.3(+) and 7.35(+) is the colour of the AIR³ logo on the front and the colour of the buttons. The 7.3(+) has a white logo and buttons, while the 7.35(+) has orange buttons.

Another difference is that the AIR³ 7.35+ has a built-in antenna, whereas the AIR³ 7.3+ had an external antenna. As it is no longer easy to tell the difference between the AIR³ 7.35 and the AIR³ 7.35+, the AIR³ 7.35+ has a “+” sign printed to the right of the power button.

AIR³ 7.3+_A13 also has integrated antenna while AIR³ 7.3+ had an external antenna. AIR³ 7.3+_A13 has a white “+” sign printed to the right of the power button.

Of course, as the Plus version also includes the Flarm and Fanet module, you can also check that the module is responding by activating it with XCTrack or XC Guide. Check this FAQ for more details.
