Samsung's rugged Galaxy Tab Active3 is now available in the U.S.
by João Carrasqueira
Samsung first introduced the Galaxy Tab Active3 last September, as the latest member of its lineage of rugged tablets for the enterprise. Today, the company has announced that the tablet is now available to buy in the United States, and it's the first one to come with an Enterprise Edition that offers one year of Knox Suite and up to five years of security updates.
Samsung also promises up to three generations of Android upgrades, which will be welcome considering it still ships with Android 10. Samsung plans to deliver an update to Android 11 that will also add the device to Google's list of Android Enterprise Recommended devices. The tablet also supports Samsung DeX for users that may want to connect it to a larger screen and have a desktop-like experience.
In terms of the hardware, it's the same device we already know of. It's meant to be durable, with a MIL-STD-810H certification and IP68 water and dust resistance rating. The included S Pen is equally durable with the same IP rating, and the tablet itself has a display with enhanced sensitivity that lets you use the screen with gloves. Another feature that businesses might appreciate is the user-replaceable 5050mAh battery, and support for a no-battery mode, for situations where the tablet might be permanently attached to a power source.
As for the specs, the tablet is powered by an Exynos 9810 octa-core chipset, 4GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of storage. The display is an 8-inch panel with Full HD+ resolution (1920x1200), and the rear camera is 13MP, while on the front there's a 5MP shooter.
The Galaxy Tab Active3 comes in Wi-Fi-only and LTE models, starting at $489.99 for the former, and $589.99 for the latter. It's available to buy today.

New iPad Air passes through FCC, pre-orders rumored to open tomorrow
by Abhay Venkatesh
Back during its first virtual event for the fall, Apple unveiled the updated iPad Air –the fourth generation of the tablet – bringing an updated design with smaller bezels and flat edges. The tablet boasts of many improvements such as the new A14 Bionic processor, an upgrade over the A12 Bionic offered in its predecessor. It also offers a power button-based Touch ID, a first for the Cupertino giant’s devices.
While the company did not mention a specific launch date for the device and only noted a vague “October” time frame, the device has now passed through FCC for certification. Spotted by 9to5Mac, the listing suggests that the device is now approved for sale in the U.S.
Rumors suggest that the new iPad Air will go up for pre-order tomorrow, October 16, with availability slated for October 23. Best Buy Canada has already posted a listing for the tablet, suggesting that the pre-orders are closer than ever in that country. It will be interesting to see if these rumors are accurate and if the device indeed hits the web for pre-orders as suggested by the reports.
The iPad Air starts at $599 and offers a design similar to the iPad Pro and also adds support for the second-generation Apple Pencil, bringing premium features to a more affordable price point. The eighth-gen iPad retails for $329 and is already on sale.

Samsung introduces the Galaxy Tab Active3, a rugged tablet for businesses
by João Carrasqueira
Samsung has announced the new Galaxy Tab Active3, a rugged tablet aimed at business users. This is the direct follow-up to the three-year-old Galaxy Tab Active2, though Samsung also introduced the 10-inch Galaxy Tab Active Pro last year.
Being that it's been three years since its predecessor launched, the Galaxy Tab Active3 features some pretty significant improvements from its predecessor. The 8-inch display now comes in a 1920x1200 resolution, though it's still a TFT LCD panel. On the inside, there's an octa-core Exynos 9810 chipset with speeds up to 2.7GHz, plus 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage, which can be expanded through a microSD card.
The rear camera has also been bumped from an 8MP unit to a 13MP one, and Samsung has added support for Google's AR Core technology, so augmented reality applications should be compatible out of the box. The USB Type-C port has also been upgraded to USB 3.1 Gen 1, rather than USB 2.0. Additionally, the battery capacity has been bumped up to 5,050mAh, and it's still user replaceable.
In line with the Galaxy Tab Active family, the new tablet has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, and so is the included S Pen. It also has the newer MIL-STD-810H certification for drurability.
Software-wise, the Galaxy Tab Active3 ships with Android 10 out of the box, and Samsung promises three generations of Android updates, as well as regular monthly updates. The new tablet also supports Samsung DeX so you can connect to an external display and use it with a PC-like interface.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 Pro is available starting today in markets including Europe and Asia, though the company hasn't shared pricing information. The tablet also doesn't appear to have been added to Samsung's rugged range page as of yet.

Google Play Console listing confirms Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ specs
by João Carrasqueira
Image credit: WinFuture Samsung is set to hold an Unpacked event next week on August 5, where it will reveal its new Galaxy Note20, Galaxy Z Fold2, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds Live, and the Galaxy Tab S7 duo. As we near the event, more information about the devices has been popping up on the internet, and now, Google itself confirmed some of the specs of the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ through the Google Play Console, as spotted by Pricebaba.
Some of the information we already knew, including the fact that both models will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865+ chipset. It also confirms both cellular and Wi-Fi only models for each of the variants, and it reveals that the Tab S7+ will have more RAM, with 8GB, while the Galaxy Tab S7 will stick with 6GB.
As previously reported, the 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S7+ will have a 2800x1752 resolution, while the smaller 11-inch model will have a lower 2560x1600 display. The listing points to a pixel density of 340DPI, but doing the math, it's actually around 266DPI for the Tab S7+ and 274DPI for the regular Tab S7.
That leaves some unconfirmed information, but a recent leak from WinFuture shone light on just about every detail of the tablets. For one thing, there are plenty of images of the devices, revealing a new design with flat edges similar to the newer iPad Pro models. It also reveals three colors for the smaller model, but only black for the larger Galaxy Tab S7+. Another leak, from famed leaker Evan Blass on Twitter, revealed the tablet alongside a keyboard attachment.
The smaller model will use an LCD panel, with AMOLED being reserved for the 12.4-inch variant, but both will reportedly sport a 120Hz refresh rate. Both will also come with an S Pen, with an area on the back of the tablet to house it while it isn't being used. Above the pen area, the camera setup will feature a 13MP main camera and a 5MP ultra-wide lens. The front-facing camera has an 8MP resolution.
Image credit: WinFuture The leak also suggests a 10,090mAh battery for the larger Tab S7+ model, with the regular Tab S7 making do with a 7,040mAh unit. Storage will be 128GB in the Wi-Fi-only models, and up to 256GB on the cellular model, according to the leak, but they will also support expandable storage.
There's only one week to go until Samsung makes the devices official, at which point we'll know the specs for sure, as well as price and availability details.
