Samsung is reportedly working on a rugged Galaxy Tab Active 2

These devices will be available for purchase throughout Europe and Latin America, and we obviously expect them to be rugged. The original Tab Active was shock, water, and dust resistant, and was positioned as a good fit for industrial and business use. The same may happen for its successor.

No specs for the upcoming Galaxy Tab Active 2 have been leaked today, but since its predecessor was low-end you shouldn't expect it to feature top of the line innards.
