We've been hearing about the toughie for a few months now, and those of you who expected the same specs in a rugged chassis won't be disappointed, as the "S4" in the title seems to be real, not for brand recognition purposes.
The Device loaded with a 5" 1080x1920 pixels Full HD LCD display in a 9mm thin phone, a quad-core 1.9 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, an 8 MP camera on the back, LTE/HSPA+ radio, infrared beamer, 16 GB of internal memory plus a microSD slot, a decent 2600 mAh battery, and Android 4.2.2 to run it all, with all the goodies of the latest TouchWiz Nature UX.
The outdoorsy features don't stop with the IP67 certification, making the phone dust- and water-proof up to three feet deep for up to 30 minutes. Samsung has thrown in the "Glove Touch" mode, which lets you operate the display with mittens on, and the "Aqua Mode" in the camera app interface, which helps make better underwater pictures and video.The press release states that it can handle anything “from the most rugged mountain trails to the roughest rivers.” Yet it's only just a little over 1mm thicker than the original, and just about 20g heavier in its nearly same-sized body.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active will go on sale in the summer in Urban Grey, Dive Blue and Orange Flare color versions. Samsung is remaining vague on exact pricing, but it did say initial markets would be the US and Sweden.
