  • Samsung announced its latest ruggedized tablet, the Galaxy Active Tab 3.
  • It features an impact-protected body with IP68 water resistance and a removable battery.
  • It can also power on and run without a battery if need be.

Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Tab Active 3 for those working in the field, or just have a hard time holding on to their hardware. It’s been nearly three years since the company’s Galaxy Tab Active 2 made its debut, and the third iteration in the slate line adds several modern touches and durability improvements.

Tipping the scales at 429 grams, the Galaxy Tab Active 3 is surprisingly light considering its bulky appearance. It’s clad in a rubberized shell which gives it MIL-STD-810H compliance – allowing it to buff off drops of up to 1.5 meters – and IP68 water and dust resistance. If you think that’s not enough protection, a rugged case can also be fitted which provides a cradle for the IP68-protected S Pen, too.

The Tab Active 3’s display is far denser than its predecessor with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. It still measures 8.0-inches from corner-to-corner but now employs IPS technology, which should improve viewing angles somewhat.

Its power system is pretty smart too. The Galaxy Tab Active 3’s 5,050mAh battery can be removed and replaced by the user, and can be topped up using a traditional USB-C port or through side-mounted POGO pins. The tablet can also be powered on and run without a battery inserted directly from a power source.

Internally, the Galaxy Tab Active 3 is a little less exciting. It’s powered by a 4G-ready Exynos 9810 chipset with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage with a microSD card slot. NFC also features for those who have to have mobile payments support on their tablet. Wi-Fi 6 support is included too, while GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo access also make the cut. This means you’ll probably always know where you are on the planet should you go spelunking with your tab.

Finally, for imaging, the Galaxy Tab Active 3 has a 13MP rear snapper with autofocus and a 5MP selfie camera. There’s AR support too, while the camera also doubles as a barcode scanner for retail workers.

The tablet will launch with Android 10, but we imagine Samsung will update the slate to Android 11 once available.

There’s no word on pricing just yet, but Samsung has confirmed the Galaxy Tab Active 3 will launch in Europe and Asia for now.

6 investors discuss why AI is more than just a buzzword in biotech

As ChatGPT has so aptly demonstrated, AI is now truly entering the mainstream consciousness. That’s why we weren’t very surprised when a slew of investors told us they rarely see a biotech startup that doesn’t incorporate AI in some form or other these days. “Most of the companies we have seen have an AI component to support the discovery or development processes,” Francisco Dopazo, a general partner at Humboldt Fund told TechCrunch recently. But despite becoming quite the buzzword, AI’s apparent ubiquity in biotech isn’t actually driving deal flow or higher valuations. So to get a better idea of how AI is affecting biotech in 2022, we asked six investors to tell us what they look for in a biotech startup today. For Franck Lescure, a partner at Elaia Partners, in biotech, having an AI component isn’t an automatic deal closer. “We do not favor biotech startups with extant AI over those without: Bio-revolution is not only digital. Digital is one tool; the other major tool is the livin
