I brought Samsung's rugged Galaxy tablet on a hiking trip, and it weathered everything


With hot-swappable dual batteries and a range of physical buttons, this Samsung tablet is built for top-notch performance in the field.

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.
