Samsung might have downgraded the specifications of the Galaxy S4 Active by designing the phone with an LCD screen and 8MP camera, but on first impressions it looks like the phone might be able to outperform Samsung's Android flagship. The design is mu...
Water and dust resistant, Highresolution display, Fast processor, Screen can be used with gloves
Screen does not work when wet, Other highends have better cameras
No matter how we look at it, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is a pretty awesome smartphone. It is one of the very few devices that are tough enough to resist some serious dust and water damage, yet good-looking and extremely capable at the same time. To...

With all things said, the Galaxy S4 Active remains a pretty interesting option especially for those people looking for a smartphone that will fit their worry-free lifestyle. If you liked the Galaxy S4 or has grown accustomed to Samsung's design principle...
Average battery, Bulkier than S4, Lower res camera
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 sur...

Rugged design, despite the extra size and weight it feels good, Ringer volume is particularly loud compared to other devices, 4G speed is faster and more consistent that S4
Battery life appears to be lower than S4 with identical use, Only 9GB storage is available out of the box, The protector over the power MicroUSB is difficult to remove without fingernails
The Galaxy S4 Active is a device that certainly lives up to the “Galaxy S” name and is worthy of appropriate recognition. There are a couple of minor disappointments with the device though. The hit and miss underwater/wet hands use is a let down, and Sams...
Dust and water resistant, Physical menu keys on front, Good battery life
Can't edit dock shortcuts on AU model, Back is slippery to hold, Not a truly rugged device
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active makes some small sacrifices in display resolution, camera, and weight, but its water resistance factor and a sturdier feeling build make it more appealing than the regular Galaxy S4 in many ways...

The S4 Active is an impressive handset, and one that I'd say is actually a bit better than the standard Galaxy S4 itself. Yes, it's slightly heavier and the camera isn't quite as nice. But you can drop it pretty much anywhere and it'll survive the fall, e...
Highly water resistant; Great battery life; While the body is plastic, it feels even stronger than the regular S4; Supports microSD memory upgrades;
Slightly slower performance than the S4 in real-world use; Touchscreen doesn't work under water; Bugs from the original S4 – locked shortcut dock and gallery issues – are still here, sadly;
With the S4 Active, Samsung has proven that it's good at taking an already solid concept and pushing it in a different direction.Water and dust resistance isn't going to be a must have feature for everyone, but those who felt it was important will definit...
Samsung's Galaxy S4 Active has a sporty design, takes strong daylight photos, and delivers the majority of Android 4.2 features. It also has a great speakerphone
Aqua mode is fixed focus, the S4 Active takes weak low light shots, and the phone isn't as durable as its name suggests. Its 8-megapixel camera is lower resolution than the original Galaxy S4's
Choose the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active for its sporty style, fast internals, and underwater camera fun, but pass if you're an image snob or seek a truly rugged phone....
