Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active Smartphone Withstands Dust, Water
by Nathan Eddy
An S 4 Built for Active Use
The Galaxy S 4 Active has qualified protection from dust and water with a level of IP67—the highest level is IP68. You do the math.
A Smartphone Made to Last
The S 4 Active will be available beginning this summer in the United States and Europe and is offered in three color options: Urban Grey, Dive Blue and Orange Flare.
Take a Trip With Style
The S Travel trip advisor function offers travel assistance, local information and recommendations to provide a more seamless experience in an unfamiliar environment.
Handy at Home, Too
Users can control their TV through Samsung WatchOn’s IR remote, which transforms the S 4 Active into a remote control for TVs, set-top boxes and DVD players.
S 4 Active Packs Android, Large Display
The smartphone boasts a large, 5-inch TFT LCD 1080p display and runs Google Android version 4.2.2.
Thin Is Always In
Sandwiched between the dust- and water-resistant casing is a 1.9GHz quad-core processor, LTE technology and an 8-megapixel rear camera.
Take the Shot When You See It
The volume key located on the side of the device can be used as a camera key, allowing users to quickly open the camera application to capture photos and video.
Expose the Murky Depths With Clarity
The camera also transforms into an LED flashlight to assist in low-light and nighttime activities with one long press of the volume key.
A Feature Set (Almost) as Deep as the Ocean
The camera interface is designed to make capturing and sharing meaningful moments more engaging with multiple shooting modes.
Sony Xperia ZR Is the Competition
Combined with its dedicated camera key, the waterproof capabilities of the Sony Xperia ZR let users shoot videos in full HD or snap pictures underwater.
