Samsung introduced a new tablet Galaxy Tab Active2, which will impress customers primarily with its increased durability. Thanks to the MIL-STD-810 certification, the tablet is sufficiently resistant to increased pressure, temperatures, various environments, vibrations and falls. Of course, there is also resistance to water and dust class IP68, as well as to shocks when falling from a height of up to 1,2 m using the protective cover that is included in the package. The tablet also offers an improved touch control mode in gloves and in wet environments. In addition, the simple design and interface allow the device to be held and operated with one hand.
Designed with work ergonomics in mind, the Samsung tablet has features that enhance the productivity of users who use it at work, including the new advanced and popular S Pen for precise control, 4 levels of pressure sensitivity and Air Command. The S Pen is IP096 waterproof and dustproof and can be used outdoors in the rain or in wet conditions.

Also worth noting is the new fingerprint sensor and face recognition, which allows you to unlock the device with one hand. Thanks to the new gyroscope and geomagnetic sensors, users can also take advantage of a number of functions from the category of augmented reality.
The tablet also has NFC. Inside, an octa-core Exynos 7870 processor ticks with a core clock of 1,6 GHz, which is supported by 3 GB of RAM. The display measures 8 inches with a resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels. The internal storage offers a capacity of 16 GB and can be expanded using microSD cards up to 256 GB. The replaceable battery with a capacity of 4 mAh or the operating system will also please Android 7.1
The device supports LTE networks, is easily and practically recharged and has effective battery management options. It goes without saying that the POGO connector is supported, thanks to which you can collectively charge several tablets at once, or use it to connect an optional keyboard.

Ideal for companies
The Samsung Mobile team has decided to promote open cooperation with partners in order to expand the range of functions offered by the tablet Galaxy Tab Active2 users, which now includes the ability to use IBM's Maximo system, so the device now also supports asset and workflow management functions. By combining the advanced asset management capabilities offered by IBM's solution with other features supported by the tablet, including the integration of biometric elements, support for the simultaneous display of multiple windows on the device's screen, and the ability to use the S Pen, workers gain the ability to perform their tasks in the inspection and maintenance of devices much more easily regardless of the complexity of the environment in which they work.
"Through this collaboration, IBM Maximo and Samsung Mobile B2B offer a solution to meet the ever-changing demands of the enterprise environment for mobile devices designed for industrial use, and provide field workers with new tools developed with their environment and tasks in mind , which fulfills said Sanjay Brahmawar, general manager responsible for IBM's Watson IoT Sales platform. “Users will be able to perform key analysis and activities directly in the field, such as updating timesheets or counting inventory items. All this in an intuitive, user-friendly interface on a robust and reliable device.”
Galaxy Furthermore, thanks to the partnership with Gamber Johnson and Ram®Mounts, the Tab Active2 is equipped with professional mounting options for commercial vehicles, police and other law enforcement vehicles. Collaborations with other partners bring new features, including explosion protection for the oil, gas and pharmaceutical industries powered by ECOM Instruments, Koamtac portable barcode scanning, Otterbox cases and iKey rugged portable and in-vehicle keypads.
Samsung Galaxy The Tab Active2 offers businesses advanced security capabilities powered by the defense industry-standard Knox platform and convenient biometric authentication, including a new fingerprint sensor with secure authentication and face recognition for hands-free access.
