But for all the fuss around its smartphones, the Korean company hasn’t forgotten the tablet market, with the trade event also marked by the launch of the Galaxy Tab Active.
The 8–inch tablet is billed as a rugged model, designed to withstand the harshest of bumps and scrapes.
Thankfully, the rugged styling only extends to a rubberised frame, meaning it doesn’t look like the kind of thing you’d pick up for the kids at Early Learning Centre.
It’s also fully waterproof, can handle being dropped from 4 feet and has a special C-Pen, which is probably best described as a rugged take on Sammy’s excellent S Pen.
The idea is that the Tab Active can be used on building sites and other workplaces where you might need connectivity, but also require freedom from fear that your tablet will come to a grisly end.
A special protective cover adds an extra layer of protection, with the C-Pen capable of working with the Tab Active even when the case is fitted.
There’s 16GB of storage too, which can be beefed-up using microSD by a further 64GB. Google Android is the OS of choice.
