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. Read more

8" screen is the perfect size for a tablet that aims at being useful both as a rich navigation tool when driving and as a handy tablet to carry around, use as a portable video player, as a notebook to use for form-filling, scribble on using the passive pen or take pictures. All even with one hand. Larger tablets, of course, offer more screen real estate but or not nearly as portable, are more fragile, and are not ruggedized like this one. CPU performance is mid-range. Display resolution and brightness are excellent; battery life is superior (2+ days). I have not been able to test it in high-temperature conditions (still winter-time), but even when used intensely, the battery temperature stays much lower than on equivalent phones. I expect it to handle high temperatures in the cabin much better than most phones. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

O item veio como esperado, embalagem íntegra, bem condicionado. Chegou dentro do prazo previsto, até com folga. Parabenizo e agradeço ao vendedor pelo cuidado e diligência. Sobre o aparelho, tenho usado o tablet e ele tem atendido bem minhas necessidades (trabalho e estudo). Não cheguei a por à prova suas características de resistência, mas só o fato de poder estar utilizando e transportando o aparelho sem quaisquer preocupações adicionais, isso está sendo sensacional. Não cheguei a usar a função LTE até o momento. Algo de que gostei bastante foi da autonomia. Uma coisa que vale ressaltar a qualquer interessado é que o aparelho é mais significativamente pesado do que os tablets da linha comum, mas isso é algo característico das linhas de aparelhos rugged, sendo já esperado, e não me incomoda em nada. No cômputo geral de minha experiência até o presente, eu recomendo. Read more
