It was not until November 2014 brings the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active on the market. The list price is higher than expected. The 8-inch tablet withstands water baths as well as falls and has a removable impact protection.
Samsung has clarified the launch as well as the list price for the Galaxy Tab Active. The 8-inch tablet with removable impact protection was presented at the IFA 2014. The launch was originally scheduled for October 2014, now it is November 2014 Then it will be to have at mobile providers.
The list price for the tablet with LTE module and 16 GB of flash memory is Samsung with 600 euros. To product launch at the IFA 2014, the price was not fixed yet, but was targeted with 500 to 550 euros. Whether the tablet is also sold in Germany without LTE module is not yet known.
The Galaxy Tab Active is aimed primarily at business customers, but could also be interesting for home users. The shock protection from solid rubber can be removed, so that the tablet can be used as indoors without him. Then the tablet is no thicker than other 8-inch tablet, but continue to be protected against the ingress of water and dust. In other ruggedized tablets always falls on the comparatively bulky casing. Seen
Technically, the device is based on the Galaxy Tab 4, with some adjustments to the chassis. It offers IP67 protection and the military standard MIL-STD-810 and is therefore especially designed for the harsher outdoor use. The aim is not so easily damage the tablet.
Waterproof up to 1.5 meters
The Galaxy Tab is Active up to 30 minutes unscathed with and without shell a water depth of 1.5 meters . With protective cover falls from up to 1.2 meters in height it should be able to harm it. In our test, the tablet also prepared several serious falls on a hard table no problem.
Thanks to MIL standards should work fine, the Galaxy Tab Active, even at temperatures of -20 to +60 degrees. In the sheath, a pin is also installed with the tablet can be operated in wet or display low temperatures, when the hands are in gloves.
Removable Battery
The pen is different from the Galaxy-Note models no digitizer, but a simple capacitive stylus. Accordingly, there is no extended pin functions such as the Galaxy Note 4
Despite IP-certification is the back like other Samsung devices removed, a rubber lip protects against water penetration. The battery with a rated load of 4,100 mAh will hold for 10 hours. Samsung, however, does not reveal how this value was measured. The battery is replaceable, which is handy and often necessary, especially in the corporate environment.
No hot swap of the battery
Unfortunately, there is a hot-swap function like Panasonic’s ruggedized tablets: we remove the battery, is the Samsung Tablet from. The Panasonic devices, a built auxiliary battery ensures that the power supply during the change process is maintained. The Galaxy Tab Active can be loaded easily into a charging station thanks to a pin connection or conventionally via a USB cable.
On the back of the tablet is a 3.1-megapixel camera. This makes images in rather modest quality, which is likely to be a problem when the targeted use of the tablet, however. The camera of the Galaxy Tab Active should be rather used to scan bar codes as for the recording of vacation memories. The front camera for video calling has 1.2 megapixels.
The display is 8 inches tall and has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. It is perspective stable, due to the size picture content will not be shown particularly sharp. Inside the tablet a Snapdragon processor 400 operates with four cores and a clock speed of 1.2 GHz.
The RAM is 1.5 GB in size, the built-in flash memory of 16 GB. A GPS receiver and an NFC chip are provided. Bluetooth runs in version 4.0. The Galaxy Tab measures 213.1 x 126.2 x Active 9,75 mm and weighs 393 grams.
Android 4.4.4 preinstalled
Delivered the device with Android 4.4.4 aka Kitkat and a user interface that few similarities with the current UI of the Galaxy S5 or Galaxy Note 4 has. We do not like the design, we feel set back in Samsung’s Gingerbread-times. In our initial tests, the operating system ran smoothly, the performance of the tablet is expected but falter in too little demanding applications. (Ip)
