Which Samsung Galaxy tablet is right for your business?

Since introducing its first Android-powered tablet in 2010, Samsung has continued to innovate with the Galaxy Tab portfolio, launching models suited to different business needs and environments. Whether you’re looking to replace a business laptop, use a rugged device in the field, create a digital kiosk, or collect data, a Samsung Galaxy tablet is designed for the task.

Samsung tablets are incredibly versatile mobile computing tools, thanks to features such as the S Pen for note-taking and Samsung DeX, which lets you use your tablet like a PC while maintaining the ultra-portable form factor.

To help you consider the best tablets for work and decide which tablet is right for your business, here’s a breakdown of the entire Galaxy Tab lineup.

Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra: Packed with productivity features and AI

Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra represent a range of options for multitasking and mobile productivity. Capable of replacing a traditional laptop, Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra features a 14.6-inch immersive AMOLED display — the largest Samsung has offered yet, and it is larger than most standard laptop displays. Galaxy Tab S9, meanwhile, comes in at 11 inches for those needing lightweight portability while retaining a ton of screen real estate.

Galaxy Tab S9 supports Wi-Fi 6E and Galaxy S10 Ultra supports Wi-Fi 7, which ensures you can run high-bandwidth apps and handle whatever your workday throws at you, wherever there’s a wireless connection. If your work demands flexible connectivity on the go, the 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S10+ provides 5G that’s faster and more secure than ever before, in addition to Wi-Fi 6E. You can also be confident in these devices’ processing capability, thanks to Galaxy Tab S10 devices’ internal MediaTek processor.

Rather than a fixed layout, Galaxy Tab S9 and Tab S10 devices offer diverse multi-view layouts where the height and width can be adjusted. This makes it easy to create a personalized multifunctional workspace where you might be taking notes while participating in a video call.

These devices represent the first AI tablets for work and the best tablets for business, with Galaxy AI* features such as Circle to Search with Google, Note Assist, Interpreter and more.

An ultra-wide front-facing camera with auto-framing makes those calls clearer and more professional, as does the three-way microphone with noise cancellation. Samsung has developed partnerships that seamlessly integrate Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 with leading video call platforms such as Cisco Webex, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Duo. The tablets also integrate with the Microsoft Office suite, allowing easy access to Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Teams for increased productivity.

All three devices are DeX-compatible, so you can easily create a desktop computing setup by connecting your tablet to a full-size monitor and keyboard.

An ultra-fast Samsung S Pen, included with both Galaxy Tab S10 models, now has almost zero latency — for a true pen-on-paper writing experience — so you can take notes directly on screen, digitally mark up documents by hand and capture signatures. Galaxy S10 Ultra also offers access to AI hotkeys with the Samsung keyboard, with shortcuts to DeX and your favorite apps.

Galaxy Tab S9 and Tab S10 devices also offer continuity with other Samsung devices. That means it’s easy to pass content between your tablet, Galaxy Book, Samsung smartphone and even your Galaxy Buds.

Galaxy Tab Active5: The rugged, field-ready solution

Many companies equip their frontline workers with tablets to scan barcodes and capture signatures, photos, or notes on the go. At times, field work can require employees to work outdoors in harsh weather conditions. Fast-paced retail environments come with their own challenges.

Samsung’s lineup of Galaxy Tab Active rugged devices includes Galaxy Tab Active5, which features a military-grade design — tested against the Defense Department’s MIL-STD-810 standards for rugged technology, and it earned an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Galaxy Tab Active5’s protective hardware protects the device and keeps it intact even after drops from 5 feet up. And with enhanced touch sensitivity, Galaxy Tab Active5 allows those in the field to keep their gloves on and use them when their hands are wet. Its large 8-inch display is ideal for reviewing detailed diagrams on-site, like construction plans. A programmable Active Key on the side of the device can launch frequently used apps with one click or enable push-to-talk (PTT) functionality.

People in the field don’t have to worry about staying online, either. Galaxy Tab Active5 ensures reliable connectivity via both 5G and Wi-Fi. It even supports CBRS, which allows organizations to connect their rugged tablet to a private network. The long-lasting, field-replaceable battery also supports Fast Charging through USB and pogo pins, and has a No Battery mode when connecting your tablet directly to power.

With an improved camera, employees can use Galaxy Tab Active5 in combination with tools like Knox Capture to scan barcodes with their tablet rather than carry a separate scanner. People in retail can use the device’s built-in TEEGRIS and near-field communication (NFC) capabilities to turn Galaxy Tab Active5 into a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) or connect it wirelessly to DeX to create a mobile checkout station.

The right Galaxy tablet for your needs

All Galaxy tablets come with built-in Knox security and optional mobile management solutions making it easy to manage a whole fleet of devices at scale.

Choosing the best Galaxy tablet for you depends on which device is best suited to your and your team’s work.

If you need a powerful laptop-like tablet with a keyboard, trackpad and DeX compatibility, consider Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy S10 Ultra. When flexible connectivity is a priority, Samsung also offers devices like Galaxy Tab S9FE and Tab S9FE+, whose Wi-Fi and 5G options keep you covered wherever you work.

If you’re working in the field and need something that can handle the heat, Galaxy Tab Active5 is ready to go. Need a larger screen? Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro boasts a 10-inch display with a similarly ruggedized form factor.

Even the most cost-conscious businesses can enjoy the power of Samsung Galaxy with tablets like Galaxy Tab A9+, an affordable tablet that combines Wi-Fi or 5G connectivity with plenty of functionality.

Whatever your business needs, a Samsung Galaxy tablet is always fit for the job.
