Tablet · Samsung · 2021
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 128GB is Samsung's 2021 tablet featuring a 8.0 inches, 185.6 cm2 (~68.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Exynos 9810 (10 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5050 mAh battery. At AED 1,099 in the UAE and ₹24,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3’s 8.0-inch PLS LCD screen delivers sharp 1920x1200 clarity but lacks a high refresh rate, making motion feel dated. Its rugged build and IP68 rating shine for field workers, warehouse staff, or construction crews needing a tablet that survives drops and dust. The Octa-core chipset with Mongoose M3 cores handles multitasking in enterprise apps without lag, and stylus support via S Pen enables quick note-taking on forms or blueprints. Battery life is exceptional—5050mAh sustains full workdays, even with LTE active. Its weight, over 426g, feels bulky for prolonged handheld use. Android 13 upgrade ensures longevity, but the screen’s low pixel density (283 ppi) makes text less crisp than modern tablets. In UAE at AED 1099, it’s worth it because rugged durability and enterprise readiness justify the price. In India at ₹24999, it’s overpriced—competitors offer similar ruggedness with better screens at lower cost.
