Battery longevity and field-replaceable power units are high on the priority list for professionals working in demanding environments—and Samsung clearly understands that. The company has brought hot-swappable battery technology not just to its new rugged smartphone, the Galaxy XCover7 Pro, but also to the newly launched Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro tablet, reinforcing its commitment to enterprise-ready, field-deployable devices.
The Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro integrates a 10,100mAh removable battery with support for Samsung’s Dual Hot-Swap system. This feature allows users to replace the battery without powering down the device, significantly reducing downtime in mission-critical applications. Additionally, the tablet can function without a battery when connected directly to AC power—ideal for kiosk or fixed-mount use cases.
While consumer use cases for hot-swappable batteries are niche, in industrial, logistics, military, or emergency services environments, constant operational uptime can be essential. Both the Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Tab Active5 Pro are designed with these deployment scenarios in mind.
From a durability standpoint, both devices are built to handle harsh conditions. They’re IP68-rated for dust and water resistance and compliant with MIL-STD-810H for shock, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperature endurance. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ provides enhanced scratch and impact resistance for the display. The Tab Active5 Pro also ships with an updated rugged S Pen, rated IP68, and designed to operate reliably in wet conditions or with gloves.
