Full Story
Samsung made a splash today, introducing two new rugged products. The Galaxy Xcover7 and the Galaxy Tab Active5 are designed to combine durability, advanced 5G connectivity, and high performance. They’re built to withstand even tough environments.
We’ve already touched on the Galaxy Xcover7, so let’s shift gears and focus on the other rugged device Samsung has to offer. At first glance, the Galaxy Tab Active5 might seem like your typical mid-range Android tablet. But, it’s got a few tricks up its sleeve.
What sets it apart? Military-grade durability and 5G connectivity. The tablet sports an 8-inch WUXGA display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5. This combo ups the durability and scratch resistance. Plus, the touch sensitivity can be adjusted for use with gloves.
The Galaxy Tab Active5 and the Galaxy Xcover7 have the distinction of being the first Samsung rugged devices to support Samsung Knox Vault. This handy feature helps protect critical data like lock screen info, PIN codes, passwords, and patterns.
Now, let’s talk specs. The tablet’s Exynos 1380 processor isn’t exactly a standout. But, the tablet does offer either 6/128GB or 8/256GB, depending on the model.
The Galaxy Tab Active5’s battery is a bit of a letdown, clocking in at a mere 5,050 mAh. However, it’s removable, so swapping it out is a breeze. As mentioned earlier, the tablet also features 5G connectivity and dual-SIM support.
Other notable features include a 13-megapixel main camera, a 5-megapixel selfie camera, S-Pen, Dolby Atmos support, a fingerprint sensor, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Samsung hasn’t released pricing details yet. But, they’ve confirmed that the Galaxy Tab Active5 will be available later this month. It’ll be available worldwide, although some markets may have to wait a bit longer to get their hands on it.
