Samsung Tab Active 2 review By Erin Lawrence

If basic tablets are too delicate for your line of work. Rejoice, Samsung's new 8-inch, Galaxy Tab, active 2, is made for you with a rugged design featuring a non-skid rubber bumper. All the way around this durable Android tablet is made for outdoor and construction type environments, I'm Erin for tech, gadgets, canada. com, and I've reviewed Samsung's, Android tablets before, so I'm, not going to spend a lot of time on the system and the apps itself. What I'll do is focus on what makes this one different in particular, and that is its ruggedized design. In addition to the special rubberized wrap on this tablet, the device can survive, drops of up to a meter and a half ouch this device past the United States military testing, which puts it through 10 specific tests, including drops from nearly 5 feet: extreme temperatures, dust shock, vibration and low pressure and high altitude testing.

My tests of this are not going to be quite so extreme, but hopefully it'll give you an idea. Here goes the tab. Active 2 is water and dust resistant and it and the S Pen are both ip68 rated. That means it can stand up to the kind of dirty tough work field engineers face in the field, not to mention accidental spills in the office or at home. This tablet is ip68 rated and what that means is you can submerge it in up to a meter and a half of water for up to 30 minutes.

The tab active 2 can also withstand extreme temperatures. This tablet has 11 hours of battery life, and you can replace the battery, which is backwards compatible with the previous tab active. It also comes with the special stylus or the S Pen. There's several security options for how you can access the tablet. You can choose from fingerprint recognition, facial recognition or pin or pattern access.

Some special sensors have been built into this tablet. There's a gyroscope and geomagnetic sensors, which are said to help folks like field engineers with site inspections or virtual training, working in logistics or supply, the improved camera and barcode reading abilities and an NFC sensor mean you can scan product ID cards and more the Galaxy Tab active 2 specs. Look like this there are gigabytes of RAM and a 1.6 gigahertz outscore processor, that's powerful enough to speed up usage when performing multiple tasks like real-time data management or onboard navigation. It can also handle augmented reality applications, and it runs Android 7.1 nougat. The tablet comes with the standard apps like email, calendar or web browser in the G, suite of Google productivity tools, plus Word and Excel -.

Of course, other apps can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. This tablet has the Samsung S Pen built-in, and it's stashed in a dedicated and very secure slot here on the top of the tablet. It's handy for those of us who prefer the feel of writing or who would rather use a stylus for inputting things in two forms. I tried the S Pen out previously with the Samsung Tab s3, using it to write on the screen is surprisingly comfortable and if you've ever used a stylus on a glass screen before you know it can feel kind of weird, but in this case the Pens contact. But the screen feels much more natural, almost as if you were putting pen to paper.

The photos and videos taken with this device are vibrant and detailed, and they're. Definitely what we've come to expect from Samsung who make great cameras a priority in all their devices overall. This tablet is rugged and definitely built for those who need durability in their tech. If that's you, and you're looking for an Android tablet for what you do for a living you're going to be pretty pleased with the tab active -.
