I brought Samsung's new rugged tablet on a mountain lake trek - here's how it fared

Hot-swappable, dual batteries and a selection of physical buttons make this Samsung tablet one of the best for field work.

To go along with that durable phone, Samsung just released the Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro tablet, and I've been hiking, kayaking, and exploring with it for the past few weeks. With 10,100 mAh of battery capacity contained in two user-replaceable cells, the Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro is built to serve its role continuously. If you don't have any other charged batteries, the tablet will work in no-battery mode if it is connected to a power source, which is a great solution for in-vehicle use in the field.
