Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 Review | Trusted Reviews

 

Ageing and underpowered internals, paired with a high price tag undermine an otherwise well-equipped ruggedised outdoor tablet in the Galaxy Tab Active 2.

Certified ruggedised design ; S Pen functionality is nice ; Good battery life

SIM/microSD inaccessible without removing back ; Dated internal hardware and software ; Disappointing performance ; Low internal storage

Although well-equipped for the great outdoors, the imbalance of performance and price means the Tab Active 2 only holds niche appeal.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2

 

The 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 is a rugged, pen-enabled Android tablet that's good for business use.

Rugged and waterproof. S Pen works better than capacitive styli. Good video camera. Removable battery.

Slow performance. Low-resolution screen. Not much storage.

The Tab Active2 strikes a good balance between ruggedness and value. It's about the price of a sixth-generation iPad plus Pencil ($419 together), but Samsung's tablet is much tougher and waterproof, with a less loseable pen. That speaks to a more...

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 Tablet Review

 

Business to Go. It took Samsung almost three years to upgrade the Galaxy Tab Active. As before, it is water- and dust-resistant and should withstand drops fairly well. LTE and support for stylus input made the predecessor very popular with outdoor...

decent quality ; rigid and tough case ; user-replaceable battery ; S pen included ; support for MicroSD cards up to 256 GB ; bright display ; stays cool

mediocre battery life ; low-resolution display ; slow storage memory

No doubt: The Galaxy Tab Active 2 is a very tough all-rounder. The operating system is smooth and the device should be able to handle everyday tasks with ease. Internal storage is pretty limited, though, and while in theory the system does not require...

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 review: Rugged Android tablet built for business in the field Review | ZDNet

 

The iPad may set the bar for tablets, but it's not setup for field work. Samsung has taken its excellent smartphone expertise and expanded it to a ruggedized tablet that is sized and specced for work in the elements.

Solid design with crisp, clear display ; S Pen support with hefty stylus ; Removable long-lasting high capacity battery ; microSD expansion card slot ; Water, dust, and drop resistant ; 3.5 mm headset jack

Older version of Android (7.1 Nougat)

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 review: the best Android smartwatch?

 

Just six months after the launch of the Galaxy Watch Active, Samsung is following it up with the next generation of its top smartwatch. But why?

Flawless performance ; Excellent AMOLED display ; Digital bezel works well ; Attractive design ; Always-on display

Samsung bloatware required ; Bixby is still awful ; Poor third-party app support

The Galaxy Watch Active 2 is a chic smartwatch with many functions. Compared to the Galaxy Watch Active, which was introduced in February together with the Galaxy S10 , the leaps forward are small. If you can do without the digital bezel and the ECG...
