The tablet boasts 1.5 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, though the included MicroSD card slot allows for storage expansion. The device has a 3.1-megapixel camera for snapping off a few quick shots. However, the larger 4450mAh battery should meet the needs of business users that require more mobility, reportedly offering 8\u201310 hours of general use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFC Capabiliti<\/strong><strong>es<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active also offers a Near Field Communication (NFC) connectivity option. This could be aggressively marketed to logistics managers for transportation, SamMobile mentions. A more durable design makes it a solid companion for automotive workers and others in industrial manufacturing positions.<\/p>\n<p>The device will be available in both Wi-Fi and LTE versions later this year. Samsung has not yet released pricing details. The tablet will only be available in titanium green, available direct from Samsung.<\/p>\n<p>Can the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active help improve your business?<\/p>\n<p>Image courtesy of <a
