An enterprisefriendly tablet for efficiency
It can survive
drops, shocks and vibrations, extreme temperatures, humidity, and even high
altitudes
Design
The Tab Active2’s main strength is its durability.
Sized at 5.0 by 8.5 by 0.4 inches (HWD), it is IP68 rated against water and
shock, and comes in a rubber case that includes a holder for its new, chunkier
S Pen. On the bottom, there’s a single (not too loud) speaker and a USB-C
connector.
The 8-inch, 1280X800 IPS LCD, at 189 pixels per inch,
is not particularly highres, especially for the price. But it’s bright enough
for outdoor use.
The Tab Active2 runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat on a 1.6GHz
Samsung Exynos 7870 processor with 3GB of RAM. It has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz
WiFi, along with a gyroscope, GPS, NFC, and Bluetooth 4.2. The 4,450mAh battery
is removable, and under the back cover, there’s space for a microSD memory card
to supplement the 10.9GB of available storage. The tablet runs Samsung’s Knox
suite of secure management and business deployment applications. Because it is
a proprietary, active pen, it’s lagless and pressure sensitive, it’s almost
perfectly reliable, and doesn’t require charging. Battery life is fine, with
around six hours of active use from a single charge.
Conclusion
The Tab Active2 strikes a good balance between
ruggedness and value. It’s about the price of a sixthgeneration iPad plus
Pencil ($419 together), but Samsung’s tablet is much tougher and waterproof.
Samsung also supplies a bunch of enterprise-friendly features, such as group
configuration and enrolment.
