The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 is the company’s newest rugged tablet. This device was officially announced at the end of September 2020. It debuted with One UI 2.5 based on Android 10. Now, months after its release, this tablet has started receiving the Android 11 update with One UI 3.0 on top of it.

According to a report by SamMobile, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 One UI 3.0 update (Android 11) is currently live in Europe. The latest system update for the rugged tablet comes with firmware number T575XXU3BUD5.

The new update brings all the new Android 11 and One UI 3.0 features that the hardware can support. Additionally, the build also brings month-old March 2021 security patches.

Although the update is said to be only available in Switzerland, it should be available in more markets in the coming days. Users of this tablet can head over to Settings > Software update >  Download and install to check whether their unit has received the OTA system update.

As mentioned in the begging, the Galaxy Tab Active3 is Samsung’s latest rugged tablet. However, it has modest features like an 8-inch PLS IPS LCD panel, Exynos 9810 SoC, 4GB RAM, 5,050mAh battery, and 15W fast charging.

While rugged phones are a bit more common, there are also rugged tablets, and Samsung is one of the few manufacturers that cater to this category. The Korean giant has announced the Galaxy Tab Active3 today and it brings new features and upgrades in key areas including display and performance.

The Galaxy Tab Active3 has an 8-inch IPS LCD screen just like the 2017 Galaxy Tab Active 2 but the resolution has been bumped up from 1280 x 800 to 1920 x 1200. The display has a touch sensitivity option that allows users to operate it even with gloves on.

Under the hood is the Exynos 9810, the chipset that powered the Galaxy S9 series released in 2018. The tablet will be available in two configurations – 4GB RAM+64GB and 4GB RAM+128GB. There is a MicroSD card slot that allows users to add up to an additional 1TB of storage.

The Galaxy Tab Active3 has a single 13MP autofocus camera on the back and a 5MP front-facing camera. The camera app has certain features such as barcode scanning.

Samsung has also included NFC, face recognition, a fingerprint scanner, an IP68 S Pen that is stored at the top of the tablet, an extra button called the Active Key which can be programmed to launch most used apps or for launching Push to Talk. The tablet also has Wi-Fi 6, Samsung DeX, support for ARCore, runs Android 10, and is MIL-STD-810H certified.

The Galaxy Tab Active3 has a removable 5050mAh battery with support for fast charging via USB and POGO pins. Samsung says that the tablet also has a “No Battery Mode” which allows it to work without a battery. This feature was added for businesses that use the tablet in a fixed location such as a kiosk.

The new rugged tablet goes on sale today in select markets including Europe and Asia. However, Samsung didn’t reveal its price tag. Once we get the pricing details, we will update the post.

There are only a few companies that sell Android tablets in 2020. The notable two brands are Samsung and Huawei. The South Korean tech giant had only recently launched Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ as its flagship tablet devices. Now, it seems the company will soon release Galaxy Tab Active3 whose entire specs have been now leaked.

The upcoming Galaxy Tab Active3 will be the successor to Galaxy Tab Active2 from late 2017. Samsung’s Active series of tablets are targeted at industries, hence the long interval of 3 years between the launch of each new model. For those unaware, the first one in the series was unveiled back in December 2014.

That said, the 2020 model was first spotted on Geekbench with model number SM-T575 in July powered by Exynos 9810 paired with 4GB RAM and Android 10 operating system. In case you are wondering, this chipset made its debut inside Galaxy S9 in 2018.

Now, an exclusive leak by SamMobile reveals the other remaining specs of this forthcoming Galaxy Tab Active3. According to the publication, it will be MIL-STD 810 certified for durability and will be available in 64GB and 128GB storage configurations. Customers will also have an option to get it with LTE connectivity.

Further, on the front, the tablet will sport an 8-inch TFT LCD panel with a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels and three physical buttons below it for navigation as per SafetyKorea certification bureau. It will come with Bluetooth 5.0 and will also support S Pen with remote control option.

Last but not least, it will be backed by a 5,050mAh battery and its launch date is not known at the moment. Anyway, since its a niche product, we expect Samsung to announce it via press release in the coming days like the Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition.
