Water protection without losing the looks, the power is evident, packed with options and features
A few creaks from TouchWiz, some of the features you'll switch off and never miss
There's a lot to love about the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. There's a great hardware experience on offer here that's competitive with some of the best devices on the market. Naturally, the waterproofing is the big sell: it works, taking away the worry...
Unlike the S4 Zoom camera phone, which makes quite a few compromises to squeeze in an optical zoom on the back, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is essentially the Galaxy S4 with a more resilient casing. That means that it packs the same zippy 1.9GHz quad-core processor inside, as well as a hearty 2GB of RAM to keep things ticking over nicely. You’ve also got 4G super speed connectivity, and it’s run
Although it matches the original Galaxy S4 in terms of basic specs, the Active is lagging in some areas. The camera takes a downwards bump from 13 megapixels to eight, which naturally impacts on photo detail. It’s not a massive problem and you’re unlikely to tell the difference unless you’ve previously owned a Galaxy S4.The other big change is the substitution of the Super AMOLED screen for a TFT
Despite the minor differences in the camera and screen, this is basically a sporty, more daring version of the Galaxy S4. If you spend a lot of time outdoors but desire a handset which looks fantastic and performs brilliantly, then this is your ideal c...

Waterproof design, Searingly powerful, Full HD screen, Good camera
Screen isn't as vivid as standard S4, Lots of Samsung settings will be confusing to new Android users
Like the standard Samsung Galaxy S4, the S4 Active packs a 5-inch, Full HD display and a ridiculously powerful quad-core chip. Better yet, it's fully waterproof, meaning you never need fear taking a call in the rain. If you've ever wanted to take your ...
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active finds itself a little in no mans land, and it's a difficult one for us to recommend outright.If you're in the market for a super powerful smartphone which you can take on extreme activities, swimming and in the bath then sure...
Abstract: Tech Digest dunked the brand new handset in a tank of water during our testing session with the smartphone, which you can check out in the video above!...
We really like the Galaxy S4 Active. It's got the kind of features that we wish the flagship smartphone has. There is a downgrade with some specifications but they don't seem like a big sacrifice. Performance is excellent and the neither display nor the c...
Some minor camera issues, Water resistant, but not rugged
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is a powerful, feature-heavy Android phone, and one that has most of the benefits of a Galaxy S4 with added waterproofing. However, calling it a true rugged phone is pushing it, and the camera isn't a match for the S4's....
