The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 is finally available in the US as a B2B tablet that is tough enough with new features and specifications suitable for workplaces that are perhaps a little more robust than.
The Galaxy Tab Active 3, released in late 2020, is the 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet, although it has some differences. The Active 3 in particular has three physical buttons on the front – easier to press when wearing gloves or in more difficult weather conditions – and a removable 5,050 mAh battery that is accessible via the back plate.
The back cover is attached to a hard cushion-like exterior (what Samsung calls an ‘Inbox Cover’), with hard edges and a slot on the top of the phone, with a dust and water resistant version of Samsung’s S Pen stylus . The right side has the rest of the tablet’s buttons: an on / off button, volume rocker button and an ‘active key’ for direct access to the most used apps and apps.

The Active 3 has an 8-inch PLS TFT LCD screen with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1200) and a 16:10 aspect ratio. There is a 13MP rear camera and 5MP camera on the front, with a microSD slot for a single SIM. The battery can be removed for use in a vehicle.
You pay a little sharp price for the Active 3: $ 489 (about £ 358 / AU $ 633) for the only WiFi version and $ 589 / £ 539 (about AU $ 763) for the LTE version. This is a noticeably higher cost than the Tab A, which costs $ 329 / £ 249 (about AU $ 470) for WiFi only and the LTE version costs $ 419 / £ 299 (about AU $ 600).
