The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro has cleared major regulatory certifications ahead of its expected launch. The tablet has the approval of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) in the United Arab Emirates and passed inspection by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These certifications imply that the launch of this device is close. It will likely arrive with other regional models.
Hardware and Design
The Galaxy Tab Active series has always been designed with outdoor and industrial use in mind, and the Tab Active 5 Pro is no exception. Certification details confirm that the tablet will retain its reinforced exterior and support a removable battery. It will ship with 128GB of built-in storage, along with support for microSD card expansion. The device is manufactured in Vietnam, continuing Samsung’s established production pattern for its rugged line.
The certified SM-X356B version supports a wide range of cellular bands—15 in total—including n1, n3, and n5 for 5G networks. Other connectivity features include Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC, and Bluetooth. The Tab Active 5 Pro will also offer compatibility with Samsung’s S Pen, expanding its usefulness in fieldwork, logistics, and note-taking applications.
The tablet will support 15W charging and may come bundled with Samsung’s EP-T150 power adapter. Korean regulators have also certified the SM-X356N and SM-X350 models for the domestic market, both of which also support the same 15W charging rate.
Performance and software
The Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro has been previously spotted on Geekbench. On this benchmark, this device runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM. This device will ship with Android 15 out of the box. It will be one of Samsung’s earliest devices to use this system.
Compared to the standard Galaxy Tab Active 5 from 2024, the Pro variant will offer better processing power. It will also come with more advanced features for enterprise and rugged environments. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro now has approvals in multiple markets. We are only just waiting for the official launch of this device. Samsung has yet to confirm a release date.
