Features of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 tablet
The main advantage of the gadget is complete protection from aggressive operating conditions.

The weak link in the tablet is the screen. Time and again, Samsung has installed its own PLS matrix on tablets. Yes, the display demonstrates a good color gamut compared to TFT in budget devices. But it falls short of the IPS standard. By the way, according to surveys conducted in different countries of the world, it is because of the PLS matrix that people do not want to buy Samsung equipment. Korean gadgets cost as products Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),and the screen works like most budget tablets from Chinese brands.
