My review: mynexttablet.com/samsung-gala...
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 is an 8-inch outdoor tablet known for its rugged design, resistant to water, dust, and impacts. It's a 3-in-1 device that can function as a tablet, smartphone, and desktop computer. Compared to its predecessor, the display has significantly improved, although there are aspects where the device has not advanced much or has even declined.
I primarily compared the Galaxy Tab Active5 to the iPad Mini 6, which is currently the top choice among 8-inch tablets. In Germany, the Wi-Fi version is available starting at 479 euros, and the 5G version costs 569 euros.
The design is built for durability, able to withstand harsh environments. With IP68 and MIL-STD 810H certifications, the Active5 can handle accidental bumps and drops. Its FullHD resolution display with 600 nits of brightness is excellent for outdoor use.
Another highlight is the S Pen, which enables precise writing and drawing. The Exynos 1380 processor provides decent performance, but the graphics unit lags a bit compared to its predecessor.
The Active5 stands out as a rugged tablet, especially for outdoor enthusiasts. It offers solid battery life, but due to its sound quality and limited connectivity, it isn't optimized for entertainment and gaming.

We all should send an email to Samsung to fire the guy who signed off on the USB 2.0 downgrade, because Samsung ruined what is otherwise a very fine device. What a dumb-shit move to put 2.0 when the earlier model had 3.1... Plus, they could have improved the graphics performance to equal, if not better, their older model Tab Active3. I own Active3. It's the best rugged 8-inch tablet there is - bar none. I am sure Samsung would lose sales because of the stupid decision they made. If their reason for the downgrade was to keep the price the same level as the Tab Active3 despite the monetary inflation these days - BY CUTTING CORNERS - they made a terrible mistake. They could have given us USB 3.1 and raised the asking price by $50 or $100, and we would have gladly paid it, because the Tab Active5 is otherwise a superb device.

Manufacturers don't aim to make the best for punters - they aim to make the best for themselves.

The spen looks easy to pick up from the ground, even outdoors and with gloves on. I love that u can attach a bracelet loop to it too. Great for construction professionals everyday use.

AYYYYYY YOU FINALLY DID IT!!! Love this review!! I love my tab active 5 besides its weight and wireless DeX. It's an amazing tablet!

@hopydaddy 2 месяца назад

What's your view on the USB 2.0 downgrade? I own Active3, and it's a superb tablet - buttery smooth.

@SammyTabGuy 2 месяца назад

@hopy0daddy for me it won't affect too much as I don't personally use DeX a lot but the downgrade in general is such a letdown that I've been considering keeping my tab active 3

@SammyTabGuy Месяц назад

@hopydaddy also, if you get the Tab Active 5, it is so much better than the active 3 in performance. Everything just feels so much faster here. Tab Active 3 is fast enough but it will feel slower as we march on in tech innovation. Tl;dr: Tab active 5 is a GREAT tablet, Tab Active 3 is a GREAT portable computer in the shell of a tablet. If you need samsung dex, active 3 is your answer, but if you want a great tablet and don't need dex, the active 5 is your answer

I just bought one. It is a very good tablet. Especially suitable for users who often change batteries.

@leekuan2007 Месяц назад

Can I independently make calls on it (use it as a phone)? Thanks.

@hopydaddy Месяц назад

What sucks is that the U.S. version is missing the earpiece, so we can't use it as a phone. Samsung deliberately did it to sell their phones instead of Active5 to use as phone.

@zapdosmtr4961 2 месяца назад

Same specs on non-active Tab would be a perfect! Samsung finally put some effoft into 8 inch tablet line.

@Simpaulme Месяц назад

No they didn't! They made it as unattractive as possible to avoid cannibalising their other offerings 🥴

@hailynewma9122 Месяц назад

Bought it instead of a fold

@chickenpokpok.youtube Месяц назад

Do you know, knox capture on the tablet? trial version (allowed demo 100 scan) or full version?

@davidstechart1168 2 месяца назад

Please can you compare both?

@SammyTabGuy Месяц назад

TL;DR: If you want a S9FE but in an 8 inch factor, and you want a great TABLET, get the Tab Active 5. If you want a PORTABLE COMPUTER in a shell of a tablet, keep or get the Active 3. I dont need the computer part since i have two laptops and my tab s8+, so I will be ultimately keeping the Tab Active 5

Good day! Can You help me a little? I have Tab Active 3 with LTE SM-T577 dualsim version. But there is no possibility to make a call. You are using this function in your videos. How did You shoot it on?

@eltiohaku73 Месяц назад

I think the model 577 is only for data, the tablet don't have earpiece for calls, the model with phone function is the 575, and btw, I think the 306 model of the active 5 is the one with phone function too, because I have seen a 307 model with no earpiece too

@seanvan6377 13 дней назад

so does it have esim slot ? which model has it along with 3.5mm jack for headphones ? or earpeice

@seanvan6377 6 дней назад

To make calls did you have to connect it to your cell phone ? Can this model work as a stand alone phone ?

@mateos8378 2 месяца назад

downgrade to 2.0 means no for me and im sure thousands of other fans of the older models. wth are they thinking. good review as usual

@hopydaddy 2 месяца назад

I am also very disappointed with Samsung. Who in the company made such a dumb decision? I own Tab Active3, and it's got USB 3.1. They ruined otherwise such a fine device with the stupidest move. My best guess is that they wanted to keep the price the same as Active3 - with inflation being what it is in 2024 - so they cut corners with the USB port. What a dumb move !!! They could have raised the asking price a bit, and we still could have gladly paid it.

Are you able to do a review on the Samsung galaxy tab S9 ultra international and the Samsung galaxy tab S8 ultra international because I heard those work as a phone too. I’m not sure. Are you able to do a review on them? They are on Amazon

@JedEckert Месяц назад

I use a Bluetooth speaker or headphones for better sound when watching movies on my Tab Active5

@davidstechart1168 2 месяца назад

O botão para retroceder funciona só por pressionamento ou também por toque?

@seanvan6377 12 дней назад

how did you make calls ? Samsung support is telling me it takes a sim for browsing interenet but does Not have a call feature...this is Tab Active5 5G SM-X308UZGAXAC

@leekuan2007 Месяц назад

Can the Tablet directly make phone calls and send messages? According to the review done by the channel "Mike and Believe" he couldn't and therefore sent the purchase back to Samsung. If I cannot use this tablet like a phone, I probably won't buy it. Thanks for your confirmation!

@Anton-id8ts Месяц назад

I'm curious too, the old tablet 1,2 and 3 did.

@smbutte Месяц назад

Bloke, how did you get the A5 to make calls? Please explain.

@saratmeinam6331 2 месяца назад

Its only drawback is that its weight is greater than 280 gm

oh look, a water resistant smartphone with a removable batery. MAke one wonder why all smartphones have non-removable batteries...

@hopydaddy 2 месяца назад

It all started with the usual suspect - Apple. They designed obsolescence into their products to make you buy more of their crap after a couple of years because the battery is only good for that. They got greedy and started making expensive disposables. Sealed-in battery - like the old-school sealed-in disposable flashlights of the 70's. Others saw how much money Apple was making and soon followed.
