Samsung SM-T390NZKAXAR Galaxy Tab Active2 8" 16 GB Wi-Fi Ruggedized Tablet Review By Ryan Slade

If, you have an active lifestyle and if you prefer to spend your free time outdoors in nature, you might be in search of a device, that's durable and can take a beating, enter the Samsung Galaxy Tab active 2 with a certified rugged design. It's guaranteed to suit the needs of people working in more physically demanding jobs where tablet drops can occur. The design is made with functionality in mind, and we see it all around the tablet. It has a removable back, which is kind of rare these days. On top of that is the protective outer cover that improves impact protection and adds grip to the tablet. Samsung has used the term ruggedized, so yes, it's rugged, but also chunky, but despite all that, it is still slims and light enough to hold in one hand for longer periods of time.

It has button based navigation controls which are kind of obsolete with the latest tech. But it's logical with the active concept in mind. Combined with the increased touch screen, sensitivity, toggle, it makes it easier to manipulate the device in more extreme scenarios. It also has a water-resistant s-pen included with it certified with both ip68 and mil standard 810g. It can take a major beating without giving up the 8-inch display is decent but disappointing.

Considering the price point of a tablet, however, this is a device that puts functionality and durability first, so in the hands of a professional. It doesn't matter that it lacks an AMOLED screen. Still, it offers 1280 by 800 full HD, and it's a decent display. It can produce high amounts of brightness up to 500 nits, proving to be useful in even the brightest days before. What's wise, it packs an X in r7 870 CPU, which is kind of lackluster, if you're into gaming, but in day to day activities it's more than enough.

It also has three gigabytes of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab active too, has a battery of just full 500 mAh, which can sound like it's not very much but combined with a CPU and a display with low demands. It should last about three days with normal use and with the removal back panel giving access to the battery. You can pack back batteries if you're going on a long trip without access to a power source. It's a great choice with functionality in mind, and it's guaranteed to be a good tool for professionals with special needs and Wanderers alike.
