Samsung's new Galaxy Tab Active 3 is a ruggedized tablet with S Pen support

Samsung claims the Galaxy Tab Active 3 is its most durable Android tablet yet.

What you need to know

Samsung has announced a new rugged Android tablet.
The new Galaxy Tab Active 3 features MIL-STD-810H certification, which means it can be used even in the most extreme environments.
It comes with an 8-inch display, Samsung's Exynos 9810 chipset, S Pen support, and 4G LTE connectivity.

Samsung quietly announced the latest addition to its lineup of rugged Android tablets today. The new Galaxy Tab Active 3 is based on the Galaxy Tab Active 2's design, but comes with updated internals and improved durability.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 sports an 8-inch PLS LCD display with 1920 x 1200 WUXGA resolution. Powering the device is an 8nm Exynos 9810 chipset, which is coupled with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. It has a single 13MP camera on the back, while on the front is a 5MP camera for video calls and selfies. Keeping the lights on is a user-replaceable 5050mAh battery that supports fast charging as well. Interestingly, the tablet has a "No Battery Mode" for power without a battery. It also offers Samsung DeX, Google ARCore support, Wi-Fi 6 with MIMO, and an IP68 certified S Pen. The tablet will ship with Android 10, although it is likely that an update to Android 11 will be rolled out eventually.

Since the tablet has been designed to be more durable than its predecessor, it comes with MIL-STD-810H certification, which means it can handle drops of up to 1.5 meters. In addition to MIL-STD-810H compliance, the tablet is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance.

The Galaxy Tab Active 3 will be available in select markets starting today, including Europe and Asia. Samsung says the tablet will be available in some other regions as well "at a later date." The tablet's price, however, hasn't been revealed yet.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7

From $650 at Amazon

You get an 11-inch display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 865+ chipset for blazing-fast performance, and great battery life with up to 45W fast charging.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
