Both devices support 5G connectivity and WiFi capabilities for reliable performance in remote locations. The XCover7 has WiFi 5 and the Tab Active5 includes WiFi 6. POGO docking interfaces allow multiple devices to charge simultaneously.
Large, high-resolution displays measure 6.6 inches on the XCover7 and 8 inches on the Tab Active5. The Tab Active5 screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals.
User-replaceable batteries combined with fast charging technologies provide extended uptime. An additional feature of the Tab Active5 allows it to run without a battery in certain situations.
Productivity-enhancing functions include programmable keys and quick barcode scanning. The devices also offer compatibility with various third-party accessories.
