Introducing the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro: A Ruggedized Device Designed for the New Mobile Workforce

Combining military-grade toughness, lightweight portability, and exceptional performance, the versatile Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro withstands harsh conditions for use out in the field or on the frontline 

Samsung Electronics Canada today released the new Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro – a versatile tablet that’s strong and portable enough to power productivity outside of the office. With military-grade toughness, advanced productivity features, and the Samsung Knox security platform, the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro is designed to thrive under the pressure of today’s mobile business environment.

“The recent ‘work from anywhere’ world has created an overwhelming demand for ruggedized, portable and connected devices that ensure tasks can get done – wherever the job takes you,” said KC Choi, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “When designing the versatile Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro, we were mindful to create a tablet that is not only durable and easy-to-handle, but also has the performance and connectivity to power productivity and keep frontline employees engaged throughout their workday.”

Light, Tough, and Ready for Work

Beyond being tough enough to endure even the most demanding work environments, the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro boasts a stunning physical design, with a slim and lightweight frame that measures 10.2mm thick^[1] and weighs 674g^[2]. The Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro is highly portable for use outside the office, on the sales floor or out in the field.

Equipped with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5, the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro outperforms other chemically strengthened glass with superb scratch and damage resistance. The device can endure drops of up to 1 meter when dropped with the protective cover that comes in the box^[3]. As an added layer of protection, the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro, and its integrated S Pen, are IP68 rated^[4] for dust and water resistance. For the toughest environments, the device is MIL-STD-810H^[5] compliant, built to withstand extreme altitudes, temperatures, vibration and humidity.

In the Field, Frontline, or at a Desk, Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro Works Anywhere Employees Do

The Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro is designed to make the jobs of frontline and field workers easier, and includes several features tailored to their unique work environments. For instance, Key Mapping^[6] allows companies to program device keys based on specific needs, allowing them to quickly launch business-critical or commonly used apps with the press of a button. The touch sensitivity of the display is also adjustable for use with gloves, so workers can use the device while taking note of their health or safety^[7].

While in the field, it can often become difficult to hear device audio, leading to communication difficulties. The Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro combats this problem with an increase in maximum volume^[8] so workers will be able to hear their device audio clearly, even when in a busy hospital ward or a noisy construction site.

The Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro is also compatible with a range of accessories, both from Samsung and third-party partners. From ergonomically designed cases with straps or stands, to charging cradles, attachable keyboard covers and wearable barcode scanners, the broad catalog of accessories that is available with the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro ensures seamless integration with the way businesses are run^[9].

Built to Support Today’s Modern Mobile Enterprise

Ruggedized on the outside and sophisticated within, the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro features the best of Samsung’s industry-leading software and powerful hardware. The intuitive One UI^[10] mobile experience enables a more personalized experience, while the octa-core advanced processor keeps employees connected and highly productive with faster processing speeds. The Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro also offers expandable storage with an optional microSD card^[11] so workers can store  important files locally on their device.

With built-in Sub6 5G and Wi-Fi 6^[12], employees can rely on fast speeds and low latency to stay connected when it matters most^[13].

The Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro features enhanced near-field communication (NFC) and mobile Knox Platform for POS (Point of Sale),^[14] which makes it a particularly powerful tool for retail businesses. Whether mounted at a cash register or used as a portable point of sale, the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro can keep customers happy by enabling faster and easier check out. With Knox Capture^[15], the tablet can function as an enterprise-grade barcode scanner for real-time tracking and checking of inventory.

Workers do not need to worry about losing power at a critical moment. The Galaxy Tab Active4 has both a replaceable battery and POGO (sold separately)^[16] fast charging^[17], for quick recharges when you need them most. What’s more – with No Battery Mode,^[18] the device can be used continuously at a kiosk, or in a vehicle without battery, while preventing the depletion of the battery, even in high temperature environments.

For jobs that take workers out of the field and into the office, the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro can easily be connected to an external display^[19] through Samsung DeX^[20], or used in Standalone Mode, to emulate a desktop interface on the tablet.

Tough on the Inside with Integrated, Real-Time Security Protection

With the increase in mobile workforces, security has become very important. That is why Samsung offers Knox Suite^[21], an all-in-one platform that makes it easier for IT teams to configure, secure, manage, and analyze devices – whether it be a single device or a whole fleet. Samsung’s defense-grade security platform, Samsung Knox, also protects the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro with fully integrated hardware and software protections. From the chip up, the platform delivers end-to-end, real-time protection against growing threats facing the modern workforce.

Samsung works closely with Android to ensure businesses are protected in the long-term and keeps up with ever-evolving security challenges by sharing threat intelligence discovered by leading security researchers and partners. The Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro is also built to last, inside and out, with support for up to five years of security updates and three OS upgrades, so employees can use their devices with peace of mind.
