Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 vs Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC
These two tablets do different jobs, so this is a choice between Android and Windows for Zone 1 work. The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 is a standard Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 in a flameproof (Ex db) housing: an 8-inch Android tablet rated IIC T6 that weighs 940 g. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC is a 10.1-inch intrinsically safe (Ex ia) tablet that runs x86 Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, is rated T4, and is Zone 0 rated inside its supplied case. Both are certified for Zone 1/21 under ATEX and IECEx. Here is how they compare, and which we would choose for which team.

Our verdict
Which should you choose?
Pick by the software your team has to run and the gases on your site. If your Zone 1 work needs desktop Windows software, a 10.1-inch screen, Zone 0 access or a North American Class I Division 1 listing, we would choose the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC. If you run Android apps managed with Samsung Knox, need the T6 class, or want a tablet that weighs 490 g less, we would choose the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5.
Choose the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 if…
- Your substances ignite at low temperatures: it is T6 (85 °C) and T85 °C for dust, against T4 and T135 °C for the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC.
- Your crews carry the tablet all shift: it weighs 940 g, against 1,430 g.
- You already manage Android devices: it is a standard Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 inside, with Knox and the same apps.
- Photos and video are part of the job: its 13 MP rear camera works through a glass opening in the housing and records 4K video, against 8 MP and 1080p for the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC.
- You want faster connectivity: it has Wi-Fi 6 and 5G on the cellular model, against 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and optional LTE-A.
Choose the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC if…
- Your engineers or inspectors run desktop Windows software in Zone 1: it is an x86 tablet with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise.
- You read drawings, data or dashboards on site and want the larger screen: 10.1 inches at 2560 × 1600, against 8 inches at 1920 × 1200.
- Some of your work is in Zone 0: it is rated Ga/Da for it inside the case Eaton supplies, while the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 is rated Gb/Db for Zone 1/21.
- Your North American sites are classified by Division: it holds a UL listing for Class I Division 1 Groups C and D, plus Class II and III Division 1, and our data has no North American listing for the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5.
- Your sites run a little hotter: it is certified up to +55 °C ambient, against +50 °C.
Key differences
Where they differ
Temperature class
- Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5
- T6 (≤ 85 °C)
- Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC
- T4 (≤ 135 °C)
T6 keeps the surface at or below 85 °C and T4 at or below 135 °C. T4 is fine for most gases but not those that ignite below 135 °C, so check the ignition temperatures of your substances against the class.
Zone 0 or Zone 1 only
- Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5
- Gb / Db
- Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC
- Ga / Da
The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC is rated Ga/Da, and Eaton limits Zone 0 use to the case it supplies. The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 is rated Gb/Db for Zone 1/21. If any of your work is in Zone 0, only the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC qualifies, and only inside that case.
Windows software
- Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5
- Not possible (Android tablet)
- Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC
- Built in (Windows 11 IoT, x86)
The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC runs x86 Windows software natively. The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 is an Android tablet, so Windows applications are not possible on it. If your software exists only for Windows, the choice is made.
Weight
- Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5
- 940 g (including the tablet)
- Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC
- 1430 g
The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 weighs 940 g, including the tablet, against 1,430 g for the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC, a gap of 490 g. You notice it when a tablet is carried on a strap or held in one hand through a shift.
In the field
Head to head, by kind of work
Windows software, screen and processing
Edge: Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC
This is the real dividing line. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise on an Intel quad-core Atom (Apollo Lake) at 1.6 GHz, with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, plus a microSDXC slot for cards of up to 2 TB. Our data lists Windows desktop software as built in. For teams whose plant, maintenance or engineering software exists only as a Windows application, that is the whole case for it. It also has the larger screen, 10.1 inches at 2560 × 1600.
The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 is Android with Samsung’s One UI and Knox, on an Exynos 1380 octa-core Arm chip with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, or 8 GB and 256 GB. Its 8-inch 120 Hz screen is 1920 × 1200 and a little brighter, at 600 nits against 540. Our data lists Android 16 for it, a single-source figure, so confirm the version with Atexxo. For web tools and Android apps it does the job; for Windows applications it does not.
Gas groups, temperature class and Zone 0
Even
On the core rating the two are close: Zone 1/21, gas group IIC, dust group IIIC. The difference is the temperature class. The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 is T6 for gas and T85 °C for dust, so it also suits gases with lower ignition temperatures. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC is T4 for gas and T135 °C for dust, fine for most gases but not those that ignite below 135 °C. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC has 5 °C more ambient headroom, up to +55 °C against +50 °C.
Eaton’s answers are Zone 0 and North America. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC is rated for Zone 0, but only inside the case Eaton supplies, and its certificate warns of a friction hazard. Its UL listing covers Class I Division 1 Groups C and D at T4, and in North America its gas group is IIB, so hydrogen and acetylene are outside it; it is also listed for Class I, II and III Division 1. Our data has no North American listing for the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5, which means unverified, not absent.
Battery, charging and updates
Even
The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 has a 5,050 mAh battery of 19.44 Wh, and our data lists up to 14 hours of Wi-Fi internet use. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC has two 3,450 mAh cells at 7.2 V, 49.68 Wh, and Eaton quotes a typical 12 hours. Both are makers’ figures with different wording, so test your own workload before you rely on either. Neither tablet may be charged in the hazardous area: the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 needs its bottom cover removed in a safe area, and the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC must use Eaton’s own charger, with its dock for safe areas only. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC’s battery is not user-replaceable, and our data does not confirm whether the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5’s is; its certificate says the device shall not be opened in a hazardous location, and the battery swap rule for both is outside the hazardous area only.
On updates, both dates carry a caveat. Our data gives January 2029 for the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5, Samsung’s date for the standard model; the Enterprise Edition gets longer support, and Atexxo does not say which it uses. For the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC it gives October 2034, Microsoft’s end date for the Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 edition, but Eaton does not state which edition it ships. We would not choose on either date: ask each maker for the exact support end date for the version you order.
Carrying, controls and rugged ratings
Edge: Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5
For a tablet that moves around, the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 has the advantage. It weighs 940 g against 1,430 g for the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC, 490 g less. Atexxo’s page gives IP64 and MIL-STD-810H, both from a single source, and the Samsung base tablet itself is IP68. Eaton rates the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC IP67, and the ATEX marking in its manual includes IP67, but its IECEx certificate states no IP code; our data lists no ruggedness standard for it, which means unverified, not absent.
Our data lists more field controls for the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5: S Pen support and a programmable Active Key that Samsung lets you map to barcode scanning, apps or push-to-talk through Knox. Atexxo does not list push-to-talk, and our data confirms only the side and volume buttons working through the housing, so ask Atexxo about the Active Key and the S Pen. Both scan through a camera app with no dedicated scan engine, and both list NFC, although NFC reading through the Atexxo housing is not in our data. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC comes with a stylus and lists AegexScan as an optional scanning app. Its conditions of use allow no accessories or extensions in the hazardous area.

FAQ
Common questions
Is the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 better than the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC?
Neither is better across the board. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC suits teams that need x86 Windows software, a 10.1-inch screen, Zone 0 access or a North American Division 1 listing. The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 suits Android teams, T6 requirements and crews who want a lighter tablet. Both are certified for Zone 1/21.
Can either tablet be used in Zone 0?
Only the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC, and only inside the case supplied by Eaton. The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 is certified for Zone 1/21 (protection level Gb/Db) and is not certified for Zone 0.
Are both tablets approved for North America?
Our data lists a North American approval only for the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC: a UL listing for Class I Division 1 Groups C and D at T4 and for Class I, II and III Division 1, which does not cover hydrogen or acetylene in Class I. Our data has no North American listing for the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5, so check with Atexxo if you need one.
Can you charge either tablet in the hazardous area?
No. Both must be charged outside the hazardous area. The Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5’s bottom cover may be removed only in a safe area, and the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC may be charged only with Eaton’s own charger. Eaton’s dock is for safe areas only.
Which gets security updates for longer?
On the dates we have, the Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC, to October 2034, but that is Microsoft’s date for the LTSC 2024 edition and Eaton does not state its edition. For the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 we have January 2029, Samsung’s date for the standard model, and Atexxo does not say which edition it uses. Treat both as unconfirmed until the makers confirm them.
Can the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 run Windows software?
No. It is an Android tablet, so Windows applications are not possible on it. The Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise on an x86 processor, and our data lists Windows desktop software as built in.
How much do the Atexxo Zone 1 Galaxy Tab Active5 and Eaton MTL GECMA IS Tablet PC cost?
Prices depend on volume, configuration and region, so both are on request. Contact us for a price.
