Samsung Electronics Canada today announced the new and Galaxy Tab Active5, a tablet geared to handle rigorous challenges, including field and frontline work.
The device will deliver enhanced mobility with 5G connectivity, upgraded mobile processor performance and increased memory. Additionally, the Tab Active5 includes both replaceable batteries and No Battery Mode, providing users the ability to work in a variety of settings.
As ruggedized mobile devices are reliable, high-performing and durable, they can meet the needs of a range of enterprise industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, retail and government. As such, growth in the ruggedized device market is expected to continue.
“Samsung understands that businesses today face unprecedented challenges and opportunities, and they need devices that can keep up with their dynamic needs,” said Jerry Park, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “That’s why we created the Galaxy Tab Active5, the ultimate ruggedized device for our frontline.”
Designed to endure challenging working conditions, Galaxy Tab Active5 enables workers to use their tablets without worry. The Galaxy Tab Active5, along with the Tab Active5’s bundled S Pen, is IP68-rated[1] for water and dust resistance, to provide a level of durability fit for rugged work environments such as construction sites or retail warehouses. Built to the MIL-STD-810H[2] military standard, the Galaxy Tab Active5 can withstand a 1.8m drop when using the bundled protective case.[3]
The Galaxy Tab Active5 features Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ and Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5, respectively, to provide durability and scratch resistance. The device displays also allow for adjustments to touch sensitivity,[4] making them easy to use for workers wearing gloves. The displays have also been tested for use with sanitizers.[5] With these specifications, Samsung Galaxy’s ruggedized devices are built to withstand severe weather or similar hazards, making them ideal for a wide variety of frontline workers.
In today’s increasingly digital world, enterprises need workers to stay connected and online. The Galaxy Tab Active5 offers 5G and Wi-Fi 6.[6]
In addition to smooth connectivity, the Galaxy Tab Active5’s premium displays make for easy, convenient use. The Tab Active5’s 8.0-inch display offers greater visibility in outdoor conditions, thanks to increased display brightness, and a smoother viewing experience with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It’s slim, lightweight frame also makes it easy to use both in the workplace or on the go.
For long days in the field or on the factory floor, workers using the Galaxy Tab Active5 can leverage fast-charging[7] to mitigate wasted time between charges and enable enhanced productivity. The device also comes equipped with replaceable batteries, minimizing downtime in and out of the workplace.[8]
The Galaxy Tab Active5 can run without a battery in No Battery Mode.[9] This lets workers use the device non-stop at kiosks or in vehicles, preserving battery health in hot environments.
The Galaxy Tab Active5 also has a variety of features that are designed to assist with productivity in various work environments. For example, this ruggedized device has increased speaker volume[10] and programmable keys[11] that enable shortcuts. It also offers barcode scanning via Knox Capture[12], which can streamline operations for warehouse work or mobile points of sale (mPOS).[13]
Workers can unleash the power of their smartphone or tablet with enhanced PC connectivity, too. The Galaxy Tab Active5 effortlessly handles quick content sharing, simultaneous displays and overall continuity of work between mobile and PC through Link to Windows.
Galaxy Tab Active5 is also compatible with a range of third-party accessories,[14] from various functional cases to charging cradles, USB-Type C PTTs and more.
And in a first for Samsung’s ruggedized devices, Galaxy Tab Active5 comes with support for Samsung Knox Vault.[15] As part of Samsung’s commitment to expanding powerful Galaxy security protections beyond flagship devices, enterprise customers now have the option of having a ruggedized device that is protected by Knox Vault.
Knox Vault helps protect the most critical data on these devices, including lock screen information like PIN codes, passwords and patterns.It constructs a secure execution environment that is physically isolated from the system’s main processor and memory and is effective from the moment a user registers their lock screen – thus users can enjoy the Knox Vault security without hassle. Knox Vault can help protect users’ security keys which encrypt their data stored in the device, helping to ensure the data is secure – even if the device is lost or stolen. A hardware-based and tamper-resistant solution, Samsung Knox Vault is designed to safeguard a user’s data against not only software-based hacking, but also hardware attacks.
The new and Galaxy Tab Active5 will be available starting January 2024.[16]
