This happened in the IFA 2014 event held at Berlin as well as Samsung unleashes a new addition to their tablet family which this time seems pretty special and unique in its own way. Introducing the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active. This is a tablet which is capable of handling dust and water resistant with the rating of IP67 together with its anti-shock covering. the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active could withstand drop of up to 1.2 meters with the protective cover on. So you could easily handle exposure to heat, cold, dust and water.

You get Samsung’s robust “C-Pen” which works much basic than the S-Pen with limited features but hey, anything extra would fit the bill. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active has a removable battery back case which allows you to hot-swap the battery if you have any extra available with you. As this is already a great addition, Samsung also added POGO pin charging which allows you to charge via docking instead of damaging the micro USB connector.

Moving to the specifications, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active features a 8-inch WXGA ( 1280×800 ) LCD screen, supports 4G LTE connectivity, runs on a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 Quad core processor with Adreno 305 GPU.  This tablet comes out of the box with Android 4.4.2 KitKat and would most probably eligible for Android L update as well. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active has a 3.15MP main camera with LED flash and Auto Focus which enables you to capture decent shots with decent quality and on the front you get a 1.2MP front shooter which is capable of handling average selfie shots.

There is 1.5GB of RAM installed on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active and 16GB of internal storage provided together with a micro SD slot which is able to expand up to 64GB. Last but not least, you get a battery capacity of 4450mAh which is pretty good for a tablet with such specifications with the option of swapping batteries, life would be pretty much perfect while using this smart tablet. Oh almost forgot, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active will be made available in two variants, one which is WiFi only while the another is WiFi+LTE with the capability of making phone calls as there is a ear-piece made available for you to use it exactly like a smartphone. For now the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active is only made available in single color, the Titanium Green which comes bundled with the protective cover and the C-Pen itself.
