Users in the United States will soon get the sturdy Samsung Galaxy Tab Active after a source reveals availability in October. The IP 67 certified Android tablet costs $699.99 via pre-order with anti-shock and drop protection features.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Coming This Month

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active costing at $699.99 per unit is coming this month in the United States based on the reports from SamMobile. Unlike with other Galaxy Tab available in the market, Galaxy Tab Active focuses more on resilience rather than high-end hardware parts.

When compared to Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact costing $400 at least, Galaxy Tab Active won't match the processor and RAM chipsets, but offers top-notch hazard protection to certain professionals in fields such as logistics and transportation. Samsung aims to provide these professionals a device with built-in enterprise, productivity and solution services capable of withstanding everyday tasks including daily hazards.
