Did you know that 80% of Canadian Grade 4 students use a tablet or computer at home for schoolwork at least once a month? It’s clear that tablets are becoming essential tools, not just for adults, but for young learners too.

Just in time for the holidays, Samsung has introduced the new Galaxy Tab A11+, a powerful yet affordable tablet designed to inspire creativity, boost productivity, and make multitasking easier for Canadian youth (and their families).

Here’s what the Galaxy Tab A11+ can do:

Power that keeps up with them
Whether they’re gaming, streaming, creating, or tackling school projects, the Galaxy Tab A11+ offers smooth, optimized performance for every activity, making it easy for kids to stay engaged and productive.

With Amazon’s Fall Sale running October 7–10, many shoppers are already hunting for Prime Day-style savings—and Samsung has several strong offers for people looking for a deal on Samsung products.

A new national survey conducted by Samsung Canada and Leger, surveyed 510 Canadian workers across construction, healthcare, energy, mining, retail, and public safety, found that: 

• Roughly 2 in 5 (44%) workers face delays in completing tasks when devices break. This is even higher among healthcare and public safety workers.  
• 34% report communication breakdowns due to device issues 

From missed reports to disrupted deliveries, these moments of downtime are quietly dragging productivity across sectors. Only 1 in 3 workers are still using consumer-grade smartphones and tablets; devices not designed for harsh job site conditions or long shifts. 

That’s prompting a shift in what business decision makers are looking for when it comes to company tech. Designed for frontline conditions, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro and Galaxy XCover7 Pro offer more resilient solutions built for durability in rugged workforces. These devices feature excellent weather durability, swappable batteries for all-day power, and glove-friendly touchscreens, a clear fit for jobs where reliability can’t be optional.
