Samsung is preparing to launch a new rugged tablet, the Galaxy Tab Active 5. The tablet has already received certifications from various authorities, including the FCC and Safety Korea. Now the device has reached the TDRA database.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active series is
primarily designed for rugged industrial use, boasting robust features like
water and dust resistance (IP68), drop protection, and resilience against
extreme conditions like altitude, temperature, vibration, and humidity. These
tablets are tailored for reliability in challenging environments, making them a
top choice for industries like construction, field service, and healthcare.
Coming to the specific details of the
Galaxy Tab Active 5, it is reported to come in two models: the Wi-Fi-only
variant (SM-X300) and the 5G model (SM-X306B). The 5G model has been certified
by the TDRA with the registration number ER26759/23.
Previously, there was some confusion
regarding the naming of the new tablet, given the previous releases of the
Galaxy Tab Active 3 and Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro. However, the TDRA
certification clarifies that the new device will be named the Galaxy Tab Active
5. The issue date of the certification is 6th December 2023 and it is valid
until December 5, 2026. Earlier, the Safety Korea certification also provided a
real-life image of the device (SM-X306N).
Regarding the device’s specifications,
some details have been disclosed through the certification process, while
others remain based on rumors and speculations. The Galaxy Tab Active 5 is
expected to feature the Exynos 1380 chipset, run on Android 14 OS, and offer
6GB RAM with 128GB internal storage, expandable up to 64GB. It will support an
S-Pen and under the hood, it will boast a 4,900mAh battery with 15W charging
capability. Additionally, it is speculated to have a user-replaceable battery.
Last year’s model, Galaxy Tab Active 4
Pro, included a 10.1-inch TFT LCD FHD panel, a Snapdragon 778G chipset, a
13-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel front camera, and a 7,600mAh battery.
