Samsung has been releasing an active variant of their Galaxy S series of smartphones for a while now but they just recently started this trend with tablets. In 2014, the Galaxy Tab Active was released as a mid-range device with a rugged design and now the company has finally refreshed that line with the new Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2. The refreshed version has twice as much RAM as its predecessor and the company has now switched from a Snapdragon SoC to their own in-house Exynos 7870.
There generally isn’t much activity in the Android tablet space these days but there are some new devices that pop up every now and then. We first heard about the Galaxy Tab Active 2 at the start of this week when some details about the device were leaked by WinFuture. Some of the details from this leak were spot on, but others were slightly off.
For example, the rumor stated that the new tablet would be powered by the Exynos 7880, but instead it is using the Exynos 7870. So let’s take a look at the official specifications that have been announced.

As you can see, this is a considerable upgrade from the original model which had only 1.5GB of RAM and the Snapdragon 400 SoC running the device. We don’t have an exact release date right now, but Samsung tells us it will be made available in “select markets” in October.
