Samsung has introduced new tough tablets and phones. These gadgets are built to handle rough conditions. They can get dirty, wet, and take a beating. The Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro are the stars of this show. They both have better battery life, but the tablet has a special trick.

    The Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro can swap batteries without shutting down. This is called "dual hot-swap. " It means you can keep the tablet running as long as you have spare batteries. Pretty cool, huh? But there's a catch. You can't use the tablet much while swapping batteries. It's like changing a tire on a moving car—it's possible, but not very practical.

    The Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro has a 10. 1-inch screen that works with gloves. It's got a 12-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. The tablet can handle water and dust, thanks to its IP68 rating. It can survive under 1. 5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes. It runs on Android 15 and has a powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor with plenty of RAM and storage options.

    The Galaxy XCover7 Pro smartphone is also tough. It has a 6. 6-inch screen that's easy to see outdoors. It runs on the same processor as the tablet and has expandable storage. It's got a big battery and can handle workplace sanitizers. This makes it great for places like hospitals. Plus, it has a better speaker system to reduce echoes during calls.

    Both devices are set to launch in 2025. The Galaxy XCover7 Pro will be available in May, and the Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro will follow in June. Prices haven't been announced yet. So, if you're looking for a tough tablet or phone, keep an eye out for these new releases.
