Aside the rugged design and a fingerprint scanner the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 is very similar to the Galaxy Tab 8.0 (2017).

Its display hasn’t changed from that of its 2014 predecessor. You will still find an 8-inch display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. This supports the use of stylus.

Hardware and Software

Being a follow-up, you’d expect the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 to offer more powerful performance. That’s just what you’ll get.
