Having a waterproof phone is increasingly becoming something that people want these days. For a few months it was just Sony with this trick up their sleeve. Samsung sell a phone for every conceivable niche of the mobile market. From tiny handed people through to giants they make a phone for them all, now you can add people who spend a lot of time underwater to that list.
The Galaxy S4 Active rumour has been floating around for a few weeks now and Samsung seem to be using the S4 name to brand everything in this current generation. I actually prefer the look of this device to the normal S4.
Spec wise it’s going to be the same as the S4 just in a solid, waterproof and dustproof casing. Only the camera gets downgraded to 8MP.
So all we need now is an official announcement, maybe a tap dancing child getting hosed down or something. I’m really quite tempted by this, as it seems like it’s going to be a whole lot more solid than the standard model.

since when did we need a water proof phone… is it just because samsung are copy sony ???
Is the Active using a smaller screen than the S4 because that shows 480ppi whilst the S4 is 441ppi?
I can see the appeal of a waterproof phone, just in case you get caught in the rain or have an accident with it, just wish they would incorporate wireless charging as well so don’t have to open a flap to charge it.
Waterproof is good, well water resistant at least. I like the look of this, the red and black go well together.
That’s funny Galaxy S4 active “leaked”
