78 out of 100 medium confidence 24 reviews

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 is generally well-received, with users praising its ruggedness, speed, and 120Hz screen.

  • Fast performance
  • 120Hz smooth screen
  • Expandable storage via SD card
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • High price for specs
  • Heavy and uncomfortable for one-hand use
  • Poor speaker quality
  • USB 2.0 limits wired DeX
  • No trade-in option for older models
