Samsung Electronics Indonesia has officially launched the Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro, two new rugged devices designed to enhance productivity for frontline workers. These devices aim to strengthen Samsung’s position as a leader in rugged technology with a focus on durability, stable performance, and intelligent features suited for demanding work environments.
Both devices represent a significant upgrade in Samsung’s rugged lineup, offering 5G connectivity, faster processors, and larger memory capacity. The Galaxy XCover7 Pro now includes powerful stereo speakers with anti-feedback technology to reduce echo, ensuring clearer voice communication in noisy environments.
Durability and Battery Life
The Galaxy XCover7 Pro features a 4,350mAh battery, while the Tab Active5 Pro is equipped with a larger 10,100mAh battery. Notably, the Tab Active5 Pro supports Dual Hot-Swap technology, allowing battery replacement without powering down the device. This feature ensures uninterrupted operation even during extended outdoor tasks.
Targeting industries such as retail, logistics, healthcare, government, and manufacturing, these rugged devices are timely as market forecasts predict smartphone rugged device sales to reach 4.46 million units and rugged tablets to hit 1.89 million units globally by 2028.
Certified Ruggedness for Harsh Environments
Both devices comply with the IP68 certification, making them resistant to water and dust ingress. They withstand exposure to splashes, fine dust, and accidental submersion. Additionally, MIL-STD-810H compliance guarantees durability against shocks, drops, vibrations, and extreme temperatures.
The Tab Active5 Pro stands out with a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ display, offering superior protection against scratches and impacts. Its included S Pen enhances data input and electronic signature functions, even on wet screens, supporting usability in rain or humid conditions.
Enhanced Communication and Display Features
Clear communication is vital in sectors like construction and emergency services. Samsung integrates noise reduction and anti-feedback audio technologies to maintain crisp sound quality, even in crowded or close-proximity settings. The Tab Active5 Pro further refines audio with specialized tuning for background noise suppression.
The devices feature improved screen brightness with Vision Booster technology, providing clearer visibility under direct sunlight. The Tab Active5 Pro achieves brightness up to 600 nits, facilitating outdoor data reading and navigation.
Both models support POGO charging, and the Tab Active5 Pro includes a No Battery Mode that allows device operation via continuous external power, enhancing uptime for intensive use.
Advanced Connectivity and Productivity Features
Equipped with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, network slicing, and dual SIM capabilities, these rugged devices maintain reliable connectivity in dense networks or low-signal areas. Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, the devices deliver efficient, high-performance computing for multitasking.
Samsung optimizes productivity by integrating AI-driven features like Circle to Search, Object Eraser, and Read Aloud, helping workers streamline tasks. Samsung DeX compatibility enables a desktop-like experience when connected to an external monitor.
Programmable shortcut buttons allow quick access to essential apps such as barcode scanners, push-to-talk functions, or emergency alerts, supporting diverse professional workflows.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Security remains a priority with Samsung Knox Vault technology integrated into both devices. This system offers enterprise-level encryption and authentication, safeguarding sensitive data against unauthorized access in challenging environments.
Samsung Indonesia’s official pricing sets the Galaxy XCover7 Pro at approximately $560 USD and the Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro at about $920 USD. These rugged solutions address the growing demand for durable, reliable, and intelligent devices suited to industrial and frontline professional use.
