The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 is finally available in the US as a B2B tablet that’s tough enough with new features and specs suited for workplaces that might be a little more rugged than .
The Galaxy Tab Active 3, which was released in other regions late in 2020, is a take on the 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet, though it has some differences. Most notably, the Active 3 has three physical buttons on the front – easier to press when wearing gloves or in harsher weather conditions – and a removable 5,050mAh battery that’s accessible via the backplate.
That backplate is attached to a hardened case-like exterior (which Samsung calls an ‘Inbox Cover’), which has hardened edges and a slot at the top of the phone, which houses a dust- and water-resistant version of Samsung’s S Pen stylus. The right side has the rest of the tablet’s buttons: a power button, volume rocker button, and an ‘Active Key’ for instant access to the most-used apps or programs.
