At the beginning of this month of September we learned that the South Korean company Samsung had terminated the exclusive contract it had with the US operator AT&T in relation to the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, the off-road version of the Samsung Galaxy S5. This contract prevented Samsung from launching this version in other parts of the world, but once the exclusivity with this American telephone company has ended, everything seems to indicate that the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active in Europe will take place in a matter of weeks. Or at least that is what the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active tells ushas become available in Canada through the three largest carriers in the country.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active will reach the European market with a price of around 630 euros, which turns out to be a figure very similar to the 600 euros for which the Samsung Galaxy S5 could be obtained a few days after its launch (although, initially, its starting price was set at 730 euros). The main best of the Active version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 reside in its design, since we are talking about a mobile that is presented with the MIL-STD-810G certificate, which gives it resistance not only to water anddust but also humidity, vibrations, solar radiation and many types of shocks and drops that a current smartphone would hardly be able to resist. At the bottom of the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active peculiarity is also appreciated, is that the three keys of the Android operating system ( Backspace , Home and Menu) correspond to some physical buttons, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 the only physical button is the Start button .
As for the rest of the technical specifications of the Galaxy S5 Active, the first thing to note is that this terminal is presented with dimensions of 145.3 x 73.4 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 170.1 grams. When compared to measures the Samsung Galaxy S5 (142.0 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm and 145 grams) we will see that this is a larger and heavier mobile. Other features are a screen 5.1 inches with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 of four coresrunning at a clock speed of 2.5 GHz, a memory RAM to 2 gigabytes an internal storage capacity of 16 gigabytes expandable via card microSD, a main camera of 16 megapixel camera (with LED flash), the operating system Android in its version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat and a battery with 2,800 mAh capacity.
