Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 Enterprise Edition 8” Rugged Multi Purpose Tablet |128GB & WIFI & LTE (UNLOCKED) | Biometric Security (SM-T577UZKGN14), Black

While this thing has a 'refurb' sticker on the back, it looks perfectly new to me.The tablet updated about 15 times, but once that was done, the tablet works wonderfully. It does not make phone calls or text messages, but works well if you use google voice or a similar service for phone calls.Performance is good - not amazing, but for browsing, movies, normal games (Mario Kart on android) it is a great machine. If you use any USB-C hub with an HDMI adaptor, you can enter 'Dex' mode and use it as a desktop computer, more or less like a Chromebook.Android Auto does not work on this kind of tablet, sadly. A totally artificial restriction that is difficult to get around without rooting the device. If Android Auto is important to you, don't get a Samsung tablet.Construction quality is fantastic. It's easy to swap the battery, change the memory card, and it's very safe from water intrusion. The tablet without the case is durable. With the case, it's a tank. I also love that it's only an 8 inch - large enough for easy one handed holding, albeit it's heavier than an ipad mini.I get about a day of battery life, and I can buy a new battery when the one I received no longer works well.I received a good charger and the tablet, the case, the S-Pen.I cannot complain and I am so glad I got this instead of something costing twice as much and half as nice.

I've had this tablet for about 2 years now. I've used it for drone flying and at work. It reminds me of the old Active series of phones (which were great). Replaceable battery, reinforced frame, harder glass, physical navigation buttons, and the home button doubles as the fingerprint sensor which is incredibly responsive and reliable. The included case is nice. The S Pen is the perfect size, large enough to actually wrote with but nice and compact.

So I've had this tablet for a minute. I was looking for a device that would replace my laptop, cell phone and WiFi device.Basically, I was looking for an all in one, portable device.I've been so far very impressed with this device. In an industrial setting, I'd probably upgrade the case it came with, to further protect it from everyday stress. But as I'm using it as my personal device, even using it at work in a restaurant setting, is far more durable than any cell phone or tablet I've ever owned. I used to be wary of Samsung devices in an every day setting, I found then to be very fragile and painfully lacking in upgrades and performance. I took a chance with this device, and I haven't been disappointed.It hasn't been submerged, but it has been rained on, snowed on (and dropped in the snow) dropped from a reasonable level, less than it's rated for, but from a level where almost every other device I've owned from any other company has broken or at least suffered from. The pen is the same same quality.I haven't bought any other case than what it comes with, which holds the pen nicely, and all I've added to it is a good screen protector and a cheap pop holder to make it easier to hold. That combined with a 1 tb external card, it's better and more powerful than a laptop or smart phone of the same price.Like I said, I use it for everything, and it's with me all the time and everywhere I go. It even fits in my pocket (I wear tru-spec pants, so my hip pockets are very large, which is where I carry it, if it's not in my bag).The battery life is impressive, especially because I'm using it all day long. I might have to charge it everyday, but I'm also using it all day long.I highly suggest this device. Samsung stepped up their game with this one and won me back as a customer, because of this device, alone.

the tablet itself was very sturdy and feels heavy duty. I liked the removable battery feature. The only problem was that it wouldn't boot up at all. Charged it overnight. got a full battery indicator reading on the screen, but it wouldn't turn on. Went through al of the internet reset procedures I could find. I also got on a chat with Samsung tech support. They told me I could send it in to them to see if they could repair it, or swap with a newer tab A model for an extra charge. The tab A is not a ruggedized tablet, and Why would I exchange the tablet for a lesser model for more money? Basically no help. Basically they want ed me to give them the old tablet and buy a different model for full price with no refund. I returned to amazon and went to best buy and bought something else that I could try in the store.

I love this tablet because the engineers at Samsung thought of all the little details - The true sign of a quality product.For example you don't get 2 speakers for stereo because the truth is, two cheap speakers a few inches apart is NOT stereo! instead the Active3 has one very good speaker that produces great sound. I don't even bother to connect to my blue tooth speaker.Lastly - I recommend the Armor-X Rugged Case (not on Amazon, go to Armor-X.com and click on "Galaxy Tab". it's $50). It was the only rugged case I could find that included a screen protector and fit perfectly.In summary: Expensive but worth every penny. Enjoy!

Removable battery, physical buttons, headphone jack, bright screen, comes with a case and S pen. This tablet is every I would hope for, while many may think the material/design is backward I like the fact that I can swap batteries, and it is not a fragile device. It obviously does not look as premium as the Tab S series but this has decent spec and more decent price. I snag it during the prime day deal and it was a steal. I have been contemplating if I should get a tablet because I am using. Z Fold but I did not regret it because it makes reading or watching movie a little more enjoyable.The only downside is the speaker is not as loud or even comparable to an A series tablet but that is not a deal breaker for me. Enjoying it so far.
