Samsung introduced us to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and Galaxy S5 Active. In a nutshell they have been more rugged versions of the popular flagship devices. They aren’t always the pretty looking devices, but they are more so for the adventurer out there that loves tech, but breaks things often. Samsung seems to be taking the Active brand to a larger scale this year with a new tablet offering, the Galaxy Tab Active.
The Galaxy Tab Active certainly isn’t a powerhouse tablet, but for those needing more screen space in the job site without the boss worrying about it breaking, the Galaxy Tab Active could be a company choice.

- 8-inch 1280×800 screen

The tablet is also said to be able to with stand drops of 1.2 meters, or about 4 feet. Samsung’s press release fails to offer up a sales date or price tag, Their press release is heavily geared towards B2B, so don’t expect to see this sitting around in a box at Wal-Mart. Samsung is targeting the needs of industries looking to incorporate more technology that is rugged and can handle the demands of the jobs, like field technicians, auto experts and others. That doesn’t mean they won’t bring one to consumers at some point though.
