A:Answer The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active is IP67 rated for dust and water resistance. Some other rugged tablets help to achieve this through plastic port covers for the USB and audio jack, but not this Tab. Its ports are also ruggedized, which is much better, because what does one do if the plastic coverings snap off?
Now, dust storms are hard to come by in the Boston winter, but we can confirm that the Galaxy Tab Active does function while fully submerged in water. Technically, it can withstand 1 meter of fresh water for up to 30 minutes, meaning rain shouldn’t pose much of an issue. That said, water will mess with the touch display, rendering it at least partially unresponsive to both touch and the C Pen.
