Tablet · Samsung · 2021
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 256GB 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 1,299 in the UAE and ₹28,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 8-inch PLS LCD screen delivers sharp 1200x1920 clarity but lacks a high refresh rate, making motion feel dated. Its Exynos 9810 chipset handles daily tasks but stumbles under heavy multitasking or gaming. The real strength is ruggedness: IP68 rating, reinforced corners, and Samsung S Pen support make it a field-ready tool for warehouse staff, construction crews, or logistics teams needing a durable tablet that survives drops and dust. The 5050mAh battery lasts all day even with LTE active, a rare advantage in this class. Weight at 429g feels bulky for prolonged handheld use. Stylus input is precise but requires the included S Pen—no third-party alternatives work as well. In UAE at AED 1299, it’s value because rugged tablets with S Pen and LTE rarely drop below AED 1800. In India at ₹28499, it’s overpriced—similar Android tablets with better screens and newer chips exist under ₹25000, making this a niche buy only for those who need military-grade durability.
