5 Best Water-Resistant Tablets

Looking for a water-resistant tablet? Here is a breakdown of our favorite tablets for conquering the elements.

Waterproofing mobile devices have come a long way in recent years. With most smartphones being waterproofed—or more accurately, water-resistant—our devices are slowly conquering the elements.

The tablets below have all been rated IP67, which means that you can dunk your tablet in 3.3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes and expect it to continue to function as normal. Note that these ratings are made in laboratory conditions with fresh water, so make sure to rinse and clean your tablet after exposure to pool chemicals and saltwater.

Here is a breakdown of our favorite waterproof tablets.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active PRO Water-Resistant Tablet

The largest waterproof tablet on our list is the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active PRO. With a screen size of 10.1”, the Galaxy Tab brings the noise with a 64GB hard drive that is Wifi and LTE unlocked.

The Galaxy Tab comes with the Samsung S Pen, which is rated IP68 water-resistant, allowing you to take notes or use it to access your device in any environment. The lithium polymer battery lasts an average of 15-hours on a full charge.

The Galaxy Tab Active PRO is rated and certified for military-grade durability, including an IP67 water-resistant rating. The tablet can handle being submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30-minutes, making it perfect for soggy environments.

The Active2 has a smaller battery life than its big brother (11 hours on a full charge), but if you are looking for a smaller tablet that has all the water-resistant properties of the Active PRO, the Active2 has got you covered.
