The tablet boasts 10 hours battery life from the 4,450 mAh removable battery and runs Android 4.4. KitKat out of the box. Samsung is bundling in an additional protective cover as well as the C Pen stylus with the tablet, along with its Knox security software.

The Galaxy Tab Active will be offered in Wi-Fi only and LTE variants, with no mention yet of pricing or availability.
