nsane.forums Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 It doesn't come with the kit you need to live out in the wild, though.It started with rumors, graduated to leaked photos, and now we can safely say that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active is official. Samsung confirmed the existence of the device today in a press release, referring to the device as a rugged version of Samsung's latest handset.The phone features the same specifications as its less-adventurous sibling: a 5-inch display and 1080p resolution, a 1.9GHz quad-core processor (it isn't specified in the press release whether it's Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 or something else), and Android 4.2 with the TouchWiz overlay. The are a few differences in hardware, however; the Galaxy S 4 Active features an LCD TFT rather than an Super AMOLED, and its rear-facing camera is only 8 megapixels, though there's a physical camera shutter button for users to take shots under water without having to press the screen (there is also a camera mode dubbed "Aqua Mode," which increases the "visual quality and clarity" of underwater images). It has a 2,600 mAh battery pack and will be available with 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded further via a microSD slot. It will also support both LTE and 3G HSPA+ and will be available in varying colors, including blue, gray, and orange.As for how rugged and ready for adventure it really is, the Galaxy S 4 Active received an Ingress Protection factor of 67, which means that it can be submerged under water for about half an hour before it goes kaput.The Galaxy S 4 Active will be available later this summer in the United States and Sweden before it rolls out to the rest of the world. Pricing has not yet been announced.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
