What customers don't like about Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 1 LTE (5GB + 16GB)

  • Subpar camera quality with a 3.1MP rear sensor that produces pixelated and noisy images
  • Lackluster performance due to a mid-range 1.2GHz quad-core processor and limited 1.5GB RAM
  • Relatively low screen resolution (1280 x 800) and significant screen glare in direct light
  • Limited onboard storage of 16GB, though expandable via microSD
  • Weak audio output from a single rear-facing loudspeaker
  • High price point compared to non-rugged tablets with better internal specifications

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active LTE (SM-T365) is a 1st-generation rugged tablet featuring an 8-inch TFT LCD display with 1280 x 800 resolution and a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor. It is equipped with 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD up to 64GB), and a removable 4,450 mAh battery that provides up to 10 hours of LTE usage. Its primary characteristics include an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, MIL-STD-810G anti-shock certification for 1.2-metre drops, and Pogo pin charging for durability. Main pros include a sunlight-readable 400-nit screen, a glove-friendly C-Pen stylus, and NFC support for efficient barcode scanning. However, notable cons include its outdated Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, low-resolution 3.1MP rear and 1.2MP front cameras, and performance that may struggle under heavy modern multitasking.
