Samsung has today launched its rugged Galaxy Tab Active 3 tablet in select markets. It comes with MIL-STD-810H certification and offers shock absorption capable of withstanding drops up to 1.5 meters with the protective cover.

The Galaxy Tab 3 offers an 8-inch WUXGA TFT LCD display with 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution. Under the hood, Samsung has used the two year old octa-core Exynos 9810 chipset on the Galaxy Tab Active 3. You get 4GB RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage, which is further expandable up to 1TB with the help of a microSD card.

Samsung has used a replaceable 5050mAh battery on the Galaxy Tab Active 3. Moreover, you can charge the tablet through both USB and POGO pins. You even get a ‘No Battery mode’ that offers power without the battery as long as the device is connected to a dedicated power source.

The Galaxy Tab Active 3 will be first available in select markets across Europe and Asia. The company has plans to expand its availability to other regions in the future. There is no word on the pricing yet.
