Samsung‘s latest rugged tablet, the Galaxy Tab Active 5, is finally available for US customers following its initial January 2024 announcement. Designed with business needs in mind, this device surpasses its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro, in important areas.
The Galaxy Tab Active 5 is being offered in a special Enterprise Edition for US business customers. Pricing starts at $548.99 for the standard model, while a 5G version will retail for $659. These are pretty steep prices for a tablet, but you have to consider that it’s not for everyday use, it’s built to work in rough conditions.
Specifications
As aforementioned, the Galaxy Tab Active 5 is a tough tablet built for harsh environments. It’s MIL-STD-810H certified and comes with a protective case that can survive drops from 12 meters. It’s also dustproof, waterproof with an IP68 rating and scratch-resistant with the Gorilla Glass 5.
There is an 8-inch FHD display on the front with a 120Hz refresh rate. For photos, you get a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie camera.
The performance side of things is handled by the Exynos 1380 chipset with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage. That latter is expandable via a microSD card. While Samsung has made a name for itself with timely software upgrades, the Tab Active 5 comes with older Android 12, though an upgrade is expected.
Keeping the lights on is a 5,050mAh battery, and there is a side fingerprint scanner for security. There is also a dedicated Active key on the side and connectivity features include dual SIM, 5G, pogo pin, USB-C, and Wi-Fi 6.
