The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro has MIL-STD-810H certification that we expect from a rugged tablet. It also has IP68 certification which is a bit of a surprise since most rugged tablets that have a size of 10" and above normally only have IP65 certification.

It comes with 4GB RAM and 128GB Flash Drive which is fine for email, browser or cloud-based applications but not for office or high resources or big files applications. It comes with waterproof capacitive pen to make data insertion easier.
As it is, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro is a good and cheaper alternative to consumer tablets such as iPads and Surface Pro. If you have users that only need to use one application such as inserting data for field user or entering orders for restaurants, this is a very good device to use.
