O Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 finally it is available in the United States as a B2B tablet tough enough, with new features and specifications suitable for workplaces that can be a little more robust than the.
The Galaxy Tab Active 3, which launched in other regions in late 2020, is a version of the 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet, although it has some differences. Most notably, Active 3 has three physical buttons on the front – easier to press with gloves or in more adverse weather conditions – and a removable 5.050mAh battery that can be accessed from the back plate.
This backplate is attached to a hardened case-like exterior (which Samsung calls the ‘inbox cover’), which has hardened edges and a slot on the top of the phone, which houses a dust and water resistant version of the Samsung S pen. The right side has the rest of the tablet’s buttons: an on / off button, a volume button and an ‘Active key’ for instant access to the most used applications or programs.
