What makes it different from a typical Android tablet?

- Battery flexibility: Hot-swap the pack to keep teams working, or run directly from vehicle/kiosk power without a battery—handy for long shifts and high-heat settings.
- Enterprise controls & security: Active Key for one-tap workflows (like PTT or barcode apps) and Samsung Knox Suite for fleet provisioning, app whitelisting, and remote policy enforcement.
Who should buy it?
If your priority is a reliable work tool over streaming and gaming frills, the Galaxy Tab Active5 is tailored for you—especially field forces, delivery & warehousing, service technicians, healthcare, and public safety teams that need rugged hardware, long support, and a stylus that works in the real world.
