The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5 is now available in the US

When it comes to tablets, there are different tablets for different needs. If you happen to work outdoors a lot and need something to withstand the daily rigors of outdoor use, then a rugged tablet might be the way to go. The good news is that the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5 has finally made its way to the US.

The Galaxy Tab Active 5 is the successor to the Galaxy Tab Active 4. Under the hood, you can find an Exynos 1380 chipset coupled with 6GB of RAM. It will also come with 128GB of storage. This storage can be further expanded via a microSD card. It will feature a 13MP on the back and a 5MP front-facing shooter.

The tablet will also come with Android 14 out of the box and is eligible for four major OS updates and five years of security updates. Samsung is also including an S Pen in case you need to write or sign documents or draw.

Now, obviously the selling point of the tablet is its rugged design. It has an IP68 rating when it comes to dust and water resistance. It is also MIL-STD-810G rated when it comes to drops and bumps, so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged too badly. According to Samsung, it can survive drops on concrete surfaces from a height of up to 8 feet.
