Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 - User Reviews

  • I made a video with this Tablet. It's a a funny video but i found the tablet very good :

  • Apart from the UI changes It would interesting to know if there are any improvements such as screen clarity (display settings, colour accuracy, etc.), general performance (like app loading & memory management), battery life, audio (additional audio settings, equalizers, etc.) and in terms of loudness & clarity et al.

  • Where are the speaker(s) located? Are they 1 or 2 speakers? Are they stereo? And how clear and loud are they? The screen resolution is not even full HD 1080p and yet i read it is sharp and vibrant. True?

  • I am currently looking for an 8-inch Android tablet to replace my iPad mini 4. Finding this for under £300/EUR300 would you consider this a good value for its specs particularly for watching Youtube, News, Weather, Wikipedia, Evernote, occasional Word documents, casual gaming, et al? Or wait for the newer Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2019 with S-Pen?

  • If somebody cares: this tablet has received the Pie 9 update!

  • This is not an ordinary tablet! First of all it's tested and complies with military standards that you will find only on tablets 3-4 times more expensive. The build quality is excellent. There is the great advantage of the removable battery making ideal for long journeys. This is a professional tool very carefully designed and crafted. I have been using it for a few months and it became one of may everyday partners. Fast,reliable and full of power will help you get the job done especially under tough conditions. I could write pages about the advantages of this device but I suggest if you are looking for a professional tool ,read the owners manual and "keep walking ".And most of all it's a Samsung.

  • Yes it works as a phone as well

  • can this model be used as a phone

  • In the end of this year, this tablet will get the Android Pie (9) update as well.

  • People ask why Android tablets are not much popular. This doesn't even have a 1080p screen yet you can get an old flagship phone from 2013 with a 1080p screen for cheaper!

  • Samsung updated this tablet to Oreo 8.1.0 This is one of the least used tablets, mainly due to it's high price.

  • One of the BEST TABLETS with WACOM digitizer . PERIOD.! Nothing comes close not even the SURFACE PRO or IPAD PRO . this tablet is a Super Productivity warehouse . BUY IT and TRY IT! Got two for myself The challenges 16gb ROM - ROOT the tab and use a 256gb sd card as an internal storage . Works wonders Install MS office and use the SPEN to make notes , slides Install Xodo free pdf to mark pdf There is so much i do , practically not using my Surface pro 5 anymore . Amazing little tough tablet

  • Retail demo units is always slower than the real devices, it's the retail mode that makes it so slow

  • I used this tablet in the store. It's really slow and the screen resolution is very bad. And they still sell it for 440 euro!

  • Almost anything can do Youtube though. My ancient Nexus 7 from 2012 can do it. Even some devices older than that can do it too.

  • That sort of screen resolution for a tablet just goes to show Android tablets are really no longer a thing anymore.

  • Yes fast enough to get basic jobs like youtube

  • Nice tablet. Not fastest but fast enough to get basic jobs done, middle class battery. Using it both work enviroment and normal internet surfing home and works smoothly. Main points getting this were waterproofnes and durability, now can also bring tablet with me when go fishing :), S Pen works very nicely very usefull extra.

  • Purchased in US. It comes with soft case and stylus. Fast and secure enough to use in working environment

  • I bought in US. Very nice, faster. It come with case as well. Try it

  • Apparently this isn't available in the US. Can't seem to find a US release date and also if any of the major carriers will offer it.

  • This seems to be a civilian version of the tablet they've been making for South Korean Army for years. Too bad they kept the price tag and outdated spec sheet.

  • Oh, they updated the RAM?

  • its too much expensive. isn't it?

  • lol how expansive you guys think if this sell in my country way expansive lol no worth

  • Care to point out an alternative cheaper tablet that has all of these: 1. Waterproof/drop proof 2. Removable battery (gsmarena is wrong. It is NOT sealed) 3. Native stylus support

  • Am I the only one who thinks it's way too expensive?

  • OMG! Tablet with only 16G internal memory?

  • Expensive

  • Cool

  • Rugged Tablet For Extra Protection Use & They Used Old Chipset................
