Abstract: The Galaxy S4 is Samsung's flagship for the first half of this year and the latest in the Galaxy S range – with a range of upgrades including better specs, a better screen, better camera and new software features, it's one of the most popular devices of t...
Abstract: The latest craze in mobile devices is waterproof/rugged devices, a trend that was arguably kicked off by Sony with the launch of the Sony Xperia Z earlier this year. As we've seen over the last few years, Samsung believe there is a Galaxy smartphone for e...

Abstract: Samsung is certainly flogging the S4 brand as far as it can. Multiple configurations of the original device, plus the Mini, the Zoom and the Active give us a group of products that don't all share the same design language and don't all share the same spec...

tough, robust handset, performs well, HD display, has 4G and NFC support, and comes with the best Samsung features.
less powerful camera, the back easily scuffs, battery life is average.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Actives manages to give the best of both worlds. Most of the excellent features in the original S4, plus a sturdy, tough case. The only minus being a less powerful camera...
IP67 rating, 4G LTE support, Some useful software add, ons

Water and dust proof, powerful processor, hires screen, it takes pics underwater!
Not as rugged as its name suggests, bigger and heavier than the S4

Rugged waterproof design; Great performance; 4G and NFC support; Samsung’s great range of features; HD screen
Camera scaled back; Easily scuffed rear; Average battery life
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active costs almost as much as the five-star flagship phone it’s based on, but retains almost all of the excellent features and performance while adding a new rugged build. That added peace of mind is appreciated, and we’re glad that...
