The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active arrives on the market, an ultra-resistant version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 that maintains almost all the technical specifications of the same but introduces some very interesting improvements, such as the impressive 4000 mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active loses a lot in terms of design appeal, but gains protection: it resists water, dust and drops from up to 1.5 meters in height.
Military design to withstand extreme conditions
Imagine a Samsung Galaxy S7 with a special and robust casing that protects it from shocks (withstands drops of up to 1.5 meters in height) and from damage by ingress of water, dust or sand. Logically, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is not that light (it weighs 185 grams instead of the 152 grams that the S7 weighs) and loses much of its appeal due to the metallic aesthetics, but in return it gains (and a lot) in resistance.
The screen is the same as in the Samsung Galaxy S7: 5.1 inches, resolution 2560 x 1440 pixels and density of 576 pixels per inch. The size of the smartphone varies slightly: while the Samsung Galaxy S7 measures 142.4mm x 69.6mm x 7.9mm, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active stands at 148.8mm x 75mm x 9.9mm.
Photographic lenses are also maintained: the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active has 1 main camera 2 - megapixel front camera of 5 megapixels and can record video in 4K quality.
Same processor, but with a spectacular battery
Like the Samsung Galaxy S7, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active works with an eight-core processor and 4 GB of RAM. The available internal storage is 32 GB, but can be expanded with an external microSD card of up to 200 GB.
The biggest hidden gem in the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is undoubtedly its impressive 4000 mAh battery, with which the phone offers much more autonomy than the Samsung Galaxy S7 (3000 mAh) and even the Galaxy S7 Edge (3600 mAh). Some tests suggest that the phone can last on battery power and playing video for more than 21 hours at a time.
In addition to microUSB cable charging, it is also possible to recharge the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active wirelessly. The phone has a fast charge function.
A customizable key for quick functions
Another novelty introduced by the Samsung Galaxy S7 is the Active Key, located at the top left of the device and which can be configured to quickly activate a function or open a specific app. For example, you can customize it so that one touch opens WhatsApp and two touches open Facebook.
Availability and price
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is available in the United States for about $ 800, which is equivalent to about 705 euros.
