What the Critics Are Saying...

The Samsung Galaxy Active Tab 5 is a small rugged tablet with a unique selling point and a lot going for it. With a bright screen, good performance, and decent battery life, it is a competent tablet, and its robust design means it can be taken nearly anywhere without issue.

This tablet is a curious combination of massive processing power with a small battery and a low-resolution camera. With the promised accessories, this could be a useful device, but the asking price is way too high for the memory and storage Samsung gave it.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 5G is a tablet designed for special use cases, but may also be appealing to outdoor enthusiasts thanks to its removable battery and IP certification.
