SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab Active2 8" Ruggedized Tablet Wi-Fi 16GB, Black (-T390NZKAXAR)

The Samsung Tablet is well made and will take punishment. It is a little older and not very fast but it can get wet, dropped and still work just fine. The battery life is good. If you want a basic android tablet that you don't have to worry about, this is your tablet. It has limited memory but you can add a micro SD card if you like. The price was great and the condition of the tablet was like new. No issues with the product thus far. Would recommend if you know what you are getting ahead of time.

I researched this purchase a bit heavily before pulling the trigger but was pleasantly surprised by the quality, features, and software available for this tablet. It performs well, has a rugged feel to it and lots of software applications available. Battery use for me is about 3 to 4 days using it sporadically throughout the day. The user interface seems solid with no surprises. The pen takes a little getting used to but works well. I am well pleased with using it on the go.

I bought mine in June of 2021. It's now November 2022 and theres barely a scratch on it. And I'm rough on devices. So for me this is unheard of. This was no exception either. I ran it over in the parking lot of my apartment, blacktop parking lot, with a Chevy equinox and not a scratch. The tire track ran top to bottom and covered the entire width so it didnt just get nicked. The worst thing that's happened is I lost the pen that comes with it and I just noticed they're 25 freakin dollars. Which I feel is a little excessive but I mean just saying. 12$ seems more appropriate... wink wink nudge nudge

This tablet was tested by work in the rain and cold. And then it was used as a kids tablet by my small daughter. Both options with great success. The performance is not great, but this is so typical for rugged deices.It just works as expected and tolerate an unfriendly environment.

If you want a tablet that will survive just about anything life might throw at it, this is the one. The only real downside is that the specs are modest compared to non-rugged devices of the same price and it's a bit heavy. I do recommend it if ruggedness is the MOST important thing for you. Otherwise an inexpensive tablet like the Galaxy Tab A or similar will deliver close to the same performance for $100s less, or you can spend the same money on a faster (but more delicate) tablet like the S3.If you need a bulletproof, all weather tablet, this thing is a bargain compared to the comparable Panasonic Toughbook or Dell equivalent and it will serve you well. It's a tool for getting work done in the field, not a toy. If you want an AMOLED screen with 5 million pixels that will play the most demanding games in the Play Store at 60 fps, then this is a poor choice. If you're used to an Apple iPad, you'll want to temper your expectations for screen resolution, graphics quality and sound.But this thing will survive stuff that would mangle an iPad. It's a Jeep Wrangler, so don't expect it to handle like a Maserati. It's all about choosing the right tool for the job. This is a specialized device which goes well beyond what an ordinary tablet in an Otterbox case can do, if you have a need for such a thing and understand what you're buying, you won't be disappointed.
