This year the family of phones registered in the Samsung Galaxy S category is much more complete than previously estimated. The original model "" bifurcated in versions differentiated by processor, with up to three editions, as well as by variations of the operating system and connectivity "" are added proposals that make specific aspects protagonists of the brand. Thus, for example, we have the now classic version of small dimensions (Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini), another that equips a powerful sensor and an unusual optical zoom of ten times (Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom) or another that makes the off-road character its sign of identity (Samsung Galaxy S4 Active).
This time we will focus on the latter. The reason for this is a test that has been submitted by the heads of the section of the American newspaper USA Today, who have put under the microscope how the high resistance condition of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active responds to the incidence of Water. As we have already told on occasion, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is capable of withstanding small dives for half an hour, as well as splashes and blows of water at a certain pressure.
With a view to this, from the aforementioned newspaper they get to work. As part of the peculiar Via Crucis to which this terminal is subjected, we see that the liquid element is poured from a certain height, it is shot with a pressurized water pistol and it accompanies the author of the video in an underwater dip. By the way, we even see how the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active can record video underwater. Overall, the device holds up well. Although from USA Todayreport that, perhaps due to having exposed the terminal for longer than recommended in the pool, some problems have been recorded with the touch screen. However, that happened when an underwater video filming was carried out, without presenting other failures in the rest of the situations for which they ensure that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is prepared.
Recall that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is a phone that, as the reference terminal in this family, has a five-inch screen with FullHD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). The camera is not as powerful as in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S4, but even so it is very interesting, presenting an eight megapixel sensor that allows video filming with high definition quality. It also has an internal memory of 16 GB, expandable with up to an additional 64 GB if we use the corresponding microSD card. In terms of connections, this Samsung Galaxy S4 Active stands out for being a really complete device, integrating Wi-Fi, 3G, LTE, NFC, Bluetooth or microUSB sensors. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, featuring many of the great apps and exclusive features of the new batch of Galaxy S.
