About this deal

Both rugged tablets feature Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity options and gain power from a Pogo Pin. The Active3 has a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port and the Active2 USB 2.0 Type-C. They both also include support for Wi-Fi Direct and include features like GPS and NFC. Battery life is fine. Our battery rundown test is very intensive, streaming a YouTube video with the screen at maximum brightness. We got 5 hours, 55 minutes, which makes it look like you'd want some spare batteries to swap in if you're going to use the tablet without charging over a long workday. But in a dim restaurant, for instance, you'll have the screen turned way down, which will push the tablet to at least 8 hours of solid screen-on time.

The touchscreen is as fluid and responsive as you’d expect from a Samsung device, and the stylus accuracy is superb. When free-drawing, the screen goes into palm-rejection mode to prevent your hands triggering unnecessary pen strokes. Ultimately, what this means is: Do not play games on this tablet. Do not use it for heavy office work or creativity. Use it to fill out forms, process claims, or take photos of injuries to send to the triage unit. Native split-screen multitasking is appreciated on the Active 2’s relatively large screen too, even if the likelihood of performance issues creeps up when using the feature. RUGGED RELIABILITY-Heavy-duty tech that gets the job done. Built-in features include an accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS and geomagnetic sensor. Note: for all Wi-Fi models, GPS technology will only activate when connected to a Wi-Fi network

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 supports variety of networks for the users to enjoy at any location. With a simple switch, the users can go from one network to another depending on the strength of the network. The networks supported in Like the tablet itself, the S Pen is water resistant (something Samsung first implemented with the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7) and like the stylus experience on other recent S Pen-capable Samsung slates, it supports up to 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. The oleophobic coating which covers the 8in display is top notch, too, and any greasy fingerprints that build up can be wiped off with almost magical ease. It’s also highly efficient at resisting water: at a raised angle, liquids run off display with lightning speed and, being IP68 waterproof, you’d be safe using it in a rainstorm. And Samsung has added a couple of extra outdoors-y display features – Glove Touch and Wet Touch mode – which alter the screen’s sensitivity so it can be used more easily in cold or wet conditions. Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2: Performance and battery life If you dunk the tablet, you need to remove the case to dry it off, and wait for the "moisture in the USB port" alert to go away. I waited about 40 minutes for it to go away before speeding it up with a few blasts from a commercial hand dryer. A rubber plug attachment would have been nice too. How do the two compare when it comes to other important core specs? Both have 8-inch screens, but the Active3's screen has a much higher resolution at 1920x1200 HD compared to the Active2's 1280x800 display, which can make all the difference if you're looking for the best in color accuracy and the clearest pictures possible.

Connectivity options on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, NFC, and 3G. Sensors on the tablet include accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, and proximity sensor. For starters, the screen sports an underwhelming WXGA (1280×800) resolution, meaning sub-Full HD visuals are the best it can muster. Thankfully, it’s a wonderfully bright screen with next to zero issues when viewed in well-lit outdoor environments (boasting a maximum brightness that approaches 500nits). Despite this, there’s no HDR functionality.

Speeds indicate the performance of different processor cores. Core numbers vary between processors. LTE usage drains power about a third faster than browsing and streaming over Wi-Fi, so be aware that overall longevity will work out closer to one or two days if you only plan on using this tablet when on a cellular network. Why buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2? Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 comes with numerous features which not only mrake its appearance appealing but also very adjustable. The phone has a dimension of Its ruggedised customisations are unquestionably more than cosmetic and the added S Pen functionality make it a great tool for both adventures, creatives and as an educational tool.

You can connect an optional keyboard using the Pogo Pin. Still, the Active3 enhances this experience through compatibility with Samsung DeX for creating a PC-like experience when you're sitting at a desk. This includes dual-screen functionality. It is also optimized for camera-based barcode scanning. It has an active key on the side that affords instant access to your most frequently used apps or programs as well as for scanning items, push-to-talk (PTT) functionality, or making emergency calls.

Samsung’s preference for AMOLED panels is another plus, with great contrast and punchy colours too, provided you’re not looking for accuracy from the viewing experience. As noted, they are both further protected by including the biometric fingerprint sensor and facial recognition. Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 vs. Tab Active3: Weigh the pros and cons
