The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5 is now up for grabs in the US
Samsung is promising four OS upgrades for the rugged tablet
Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab Active 5 last month in some markets as the latest entrant in the company's often unnoticed Galaxy Tab Active series, which churns out rugged Android tablets with a focus on enterprise customers. The last iteration debuted in August 2022, so there's been a bit of a wait for the successor. Samsung US is now releasing the Galaxy Tab Active 5 5G in the US, selling it as an Enterprise Edition device in the region.
Samsung inches closer to the Galaxy Tab A9's US launch
A prematurely listed product page has spilled the details
Although Samsung makes some of the best high-end tablets you can find today, it also has a flourishing midrange tablet lineup. So there was a fair bit of excitement when the company launched two Galaxy Tab A9 tablets this October. However, despite being released in multiple countries, they were absent from US shores. Thankfully, that could be changing soon, with Samsung US putting up a couple of listings for the tablet on its online store, only to take them down later.
Samsung's first foldable tablet could join the Galaxy Tab S9 later this year
Questions remain about just how this Galaxy Z Tab would fold
Tablets are meant to give us a larger display for certain tasks that may be less ideal on smartphones, so it stands to reason that extending this screen size in creative ways is the logical next step. At CES 2023, we were teased with concept tablets that bend and slide, like Samsung Display's Flex Hybrid. But like flying cars, folding tablets have perpetually been several years away from reaching consumers. A new rumor, however, suggests that a Samsung folding tablet could materialize into a real product later this year.

The Galaxy Tab Active3 is available now
Samsung sells a few rugged Android devices under its 'Active' brand, but it has been over three years since the company released a new rugged tablet. Thankfully, businesses looking for tough devices now have a new model to pick from: the Galaxy Tab Active3.
Five-year-old Galaxy Tab S2 receives October 2020 security patch, proving Samsung has truly changed its ways
Meanwhile, the Nexus 9 hasn't seen an update since 2017
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab S2 in July 2015, a time when Android tablets still mattered, and there was much more competition. Sporting a luxurious new design based on the Galaxy S6 and a beautifully bright AMOLED display, it represented the best Android tablets had to offer. But why are we talking about it five years later? Because it just received the October 2020 security patch, and that's incredible.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 drops to $500 ($150 off) at multiple stores
You can also double the storage for $50 more
Samsung just released the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+, but last year's Tab S6 is still one of the best Android tablets around, thanks to its high-quality AMOLED screen and flagship-class Snapdragon chipset. It seems like Samsung is looking to clear out old inventory, as the Tab S6 has dropped to $499.99 at multiple stores.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab A 8.0 is just $120 ($30 off) right now
Like a Fire tablet, but it actually has Google services
Samsung's line of Galaxy A tablets aren't anything special, but they are cheap Android devices with full access to the Google Play Store. That makes them a tantalizing alternative to Amazon Fire tablets, which require workarounds to install the Play Store, and still have weird software quirks to deal with. Now you can get last year's Galaxy Tab A 8.0 for just $119.99, a savings of $30 over the original MSRP.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S7 could ditch AMOLED in favor of LCD
The more expensive Tab S7+ is tipped to stick with AMOLED for its 12.4-inch screen
At next week's Galaxy Unpacked 2020 event, Samsung is expected to take the wraps off a total of five devices, which includes its new flagship tablet range. The Galaxy Tab S7 for 2020 is rumored to be accompanied by a bigger Plus model, and we’ve already heard a lot about the two. But the latest WinFuture report gives away nearly everything about the two slates. What’s most surprising here is that Samsung looks set to downgrade the standard model’s screen by using LCD technology instead of keeping the AMOLED from last year.
This is what the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 might look like
It’s basically a Galaxy Tab S6, but just a tad bigger
Samsung’s current flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S6, is soon turning one year old, and we could expect to see its follow-up confirmed any time in the next couple of months. But before that happens, the customary leaks and rumors have already started flowing in, giving away quite a bit about the upcoming slate. A fresh leak shares some detailed renders of the alleged Tab S7, giving us a good idea of how its design is going to be.

Samsung released the Galaxy Tab S5e last year, filling a niche that Samsung seemingly made for itself. Despite that, it's reviewed extremely well with users, and maintains the quality and build we all expect of Samsung by now. If you're in the market for a tablet, the company has made a major MSRP cut for the 128GB version.The Galaxy Tab S5e has a 10.5" OLED display, a 7,040mAh battery, 4GB of RAM on models with 64GB of internal storage, and 6GB of RAM on the 128GB models. It's thin, light, snappy, and the perfect size to binge your media on; snap on a keyboard and you have a perfectly serviceable work-device as well.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite coming to the US this quarter starting at $350
Will come with S-Pen and One UI 2.1

Samsung's tablet lineup is almost as convoluted as its smartphone strategy. The Galaxy Tab S6 is at the top, with the budget Tab S5e dropping pen support and going with a cheaper processor, but leaks for a new Tab S6 Lite started popping up last month. Now the tablet is official, though pricing and availability details are still unknown.
If everyday life can be hard on your beloved Android handsets, forcing them to survive on a job site is downright torture. To give work-assigned devices a fighting chance here in the States, Samsung is bringing its ruggedized Galaxy Tab Active Pro to the U.S. workforce.
If you're on the market for a good Android tablet, Samsung's Galaxy Tab S6, which is probably one of the best ones around, is currently down to just $430 at Best Buy. This is a significant markdown for a product that was just released, as it's $300 less than the MSRP.
Samsung released the Galaxy Tab S5e earlier this year, as a slightly-cheaper alternative to the flagship Tab S lineup. It still has a 2560x1600 AMOLED screen and a thin lightweight design, but with a mid-range Snapdragon 670 processor instead of an 800-series chip. If you're interested in getting one, it's now available from one more place: Verizon.The version being sold by Verizon has a model number of SMT727VZSA, and the only change from the existing versions is the addition of LTE. Sadly, the only capacity on offer is 64GB, and the only color is silver.

- Our friends at Android Headlines got their hands on official renders of the Galaxy Tab S6. They show the device in full grey, pink, and blue glory and confirm the existence of a keyboard accessory, which can apparently turn the tablet into a full laptop replacement with its touchpad. Other than that, the high-resolution images reveal striking similarities to the iPad's industrial design — the squared corners and the flat back could make us believe that Samsung took some inspiration.
Samsung is one of the only Android manufacturers left that make serious Android tablets with serious Android software — iPads basically own the higher-end market. While it's not certain if the latest iteration of the Galaxy Tab is going to make a dent in Apple's share, the upcoming Galaxy Tab S6 could at least shape up to be a great alternative for Android fans not willing to touch an iPad, according to a SamMobile leak.
Most Android tablets on the market are either average at best or overpriced. Although the Galaxy Tab S4 might be one of the top contenders around, its initial MSRP was relatively steep, at $650 for the 64GB variant or $750 for the 128GB version. However, thanks to a deal on Amazon, you can save $152 on both versions, making the tablet a much more interesting bargain. Both storage options are on sale, down to $498 and $598, which is among the lowest prices they've been.
Apple released an updated iPad Mini earlier this month, with one of the new features being Apple Pencil support. Samsung also has released an updated version of its 8-inch tablet, complete with S Pen support. Coincidence? I'll let you be the judge.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab S4 this morning, a new 10.5" Android-powered tablet that seeks, first and foremost, to be seen as a laptop replacement (at a cost of another $150 for the keyboard dock). With the company's DeX UI first introduced via its desktop accessory for Galaxy smartphones last year, the Tab S4 can be used in a traditional, windowed operating system layout for productivity. This would seem to squarely aim the Tab S4 to do battle with the array of Chromebook tablets and detachables likely to hit the market in the next year.
