Samsung Galaxy S4

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is a great phone, but its cheap plastic cups case lead you to consider that it can not withstand day - to day abuse. The Samsung Galaxy S4 active is an S4 in a hard body.

Hardware
There are some laws of similarity between the active and the S4. Sure, there's a large touch screen and three buttons below, but the capacitive touch keys are hardware keys-
That's well, if you control the phone features underwater hope.

Above and below are two rubber buffer protects the phone against bumps, how dropped. It is with its industrial strength metal studs look but can not survive too many drops on concrete.

The biggest difference between the active and the S4 is the active and generous use of rubber, all ports such as the micro USB-socket.

Remove the rubber cap from the micro USB port and the phone will warn you, thanks to some sensors inside the phone chassis, since this affect its water resistance. The 3.5mm phone jack remains exposed and was probably within waterproof.

The active innards are the same as the Galaxy S, with the powerful 1.9 GHz quad core processor.

You can say the active is powerful, because any delay on the screen and 3D gaming on games like NOVA 3 run at 30 frames per second.

With power comes compromise. The 2600 mAh battery is just not big enough, to a day use from the device. You're playing time probably the juice after about six hours consistently, the two hours less than listed time by Samsung is eight hours.

Display
If bright, beautiful view on Samsung devices are used, you will not be active disappointed by the Samsung Galaxy S4. The five inch display has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. This is full HD, so watching videos on the device is a feast for the eyes.

The LCD TFT (thin film transistor) screen is not as bright as the AMOLED (active matrix organic light - emitting diode) display on the S4. Technology missing also rich black tones as found on the Nokia Lumia 1,020 listeners, with his ClearBlack TFT displays.

We have too many complaints with the display. But it has just not as immersive as the Galaxy S4 screen feel.

Camera
The Galaxy S4 active offers a slightly lower resolution sensor, the 8-megapixel images, compared with the 13 megapixel of Galaxy S4.
The megapixel race is not a deal-breaker. There are other variables to think how take the quality of the lens and sensor size.

The Galaxy S4 active camera has these basics covered - the picture quality is amazing, with colors, true life search, though the images were it took a little dark.

It didn't capture the same level of detail as some beefier cameras or its S4 brother, but it was still an acceptable camera.

Samsung would like to* the active for underwater photos are also used as. You will not be able, to the underwater touchscreen serve and must switch on Aqua mode, before you dive in, admits you to control the device the cameras with the volume buttons.
