No Limitations, Increased Productivity
Features of the GALAXY Tab Active deliver complete business functionality based on performance, durability and protection, allowing professionals to work without limitations in and out of the office.
“Samsung acknowledges that the businesses of today are multi-faceted and diverse, and are more demanding than before,” said Eugene Goh, Vice President, IT & Mobile, Samsung Electronics Singapore.
The GALAXY Tab Active delivers the full connectivity and meets the “always on” needs of today’s mobile business environment.
It is ready to take on the harshest of work settings, and its slim, light, premium, robust design coupled with replaceable battery allows users to work efficiently wherever and whenever needed.
The following examples provide an understanding of how the GALAXY Tab Active is the right tool for users who require performance and durability:
• Its Anti-Shock Protection can withstand a 1.2-meter drop, with the ruggedized cover on, and it is water and dust resistant with IP67 certification. For example, a sales or field force representative can meet potential customers in the field with the ruggedized GALAXY Tab Active and not worry about minor accidents or shocks such as dropping the device or coming into contact with water.
• The 3.1MP Auto Focus Camera can easily scan barcodes, and the GALAXY Tab Active’s NFC technology saves time on communications and work process management. These essential features can greatly boost productivity, such as with transportation and logistics managers who can leverage the GALAXY Tab Active to seamlessly connect with a building’s foreman on shipping and receiving.
• Samsung’s robust “C Pen” is installed at the top of the protective GALAXY Tab Active cover to provide professionals who may have to wear gloves, at a construction site for example, with an alternative input option.
• For those professionals constantly in the field, such as utility workers, near continuous usage is supported by up to 10-hour, long-lasting battery life and you can now conserve your tablet battery life by activating the Ultra Power Saving Mode feature available on GALAXY Tab Active which saves power significantly by changing the screen to black-and-white, and operating several essential apps, e.g. web surfing, messaging, while turning off all the non-essential services on your tablet. In Ultra Power Saving Mode, one can stretch the remaining 10% battery life to up to 160.8 hours’ (+) worth of standby time. Moreover, the detachable battery provides a quick and easy exchange for a fresh battery when necessary for uninterrupted working. Also, the built-in POGO pin charging prevents micro-USB connector damage while allowing for multi-device charging when returning to the office.
“As a trusted global leader in mobile technology, Samsung is ready to meet these demands with solutions tailored specifically for businesses and professionals, with cutting-edge technology and innovative features suited for the workplace,” added Goh.
The GALAXY Tab Active is supported by Samsung KNOX for a comprehensive mobile security platform, available exclusively for Enterprise customers only. This reinforced security platform keeps organisation data secure and manageable as well as separates work from personal data.
Understanding the importance of timing in business, the remote Smart Tutor Service gives each GALAXY Tab Active user safe, easy and quick means to access technical support anywhere, anytime.
