Samsung has launched the Galaxy Tab Active3 in the U.S. The rugged tablet was first launched in Europe and some Asian countries in September 2020. It is the successor to the Galaxy Tab Active 2 released in 2017. The new table can also be regarded as the budget-friendly alternative to 2019’s Tab Active Pro.

The Galaxy Tab Active3 features an 8-inch IPS LCD screen just like its predecessor but the resolution has been bumped up from 1280 x 800 to 1920 x 1200 pixels. 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.

As for the price in the U.S, the Galaxy Tab Active3 will be sold for $489.99 for the base model. The tablet is expected to be available to buy soon.
