Samsung Galaxy S4 Active preview: First look

05 June 2013
Add together the brawn of the Xcover and the brains of a Galaxy S4 and you get the S4 Active. The actual flagship can handle any digital task you throw at it, but the Active version can cope with the grittier side of life. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is...

Amoled always had the natural option as well. Each time it gets better and previous Lcd's were not always so perfect either. Now the new Amoled is just a couple percent off....While still offering the Amoled advantage...And blacks. It is definitely a downgrade....a little longer on constant browsing.....not worth it

          8MP sensor in the same space as the normal 13MP sensor means BETTER LOWLIGHT PICS á HTC ONE!! This is GREAT! I would call this an upgrade. 13MP on a phonecamera is too much for such a small sensor anyways :-D

              Our store needs this instead of Sony Xperia Z, which seems no one likes to buy them.

                The lcd isn't really a downgrade. Firstly you get better web browsing battery life. Next you get more accurate colours.
                This is definitely the phone I want!

                  I might actually prefer this version over the original. The camera is not that big of a deal and my personal favorite color is orange lol. Besides it looks to have more better quality design than the original S4 and LCD tends to be more better for accurate colors and not oversaturating them. Still, this is just a personal preference thing.

                    Anonymous, 06 Jun 2013Estimate price 870USD. Yeah, unlike the Xperia Z at $993 at pre-order 6 months ago.

                      8MP camera .... is ita mistake by GSMArena or is it really 8MP cam ... why would they do that when all other specs are matching with S4.
                      They should add some bright colors and also start making some aluminium body phones like HTC one.

                          While S4 Active is almost same in all the specifications except it has a 8MP camera vs a 13 MP in the original S4, Active will cost 1/4th less than the original one. In case you are really interested to know Galaxy S4 inside out, I came across this interesting read-up section at this new website: BRAND COLLAGE

                              rj23, 06 Jun 2013Samsung should just think of pricing this GS4 Active right ... moreI don't understand this argument.

                              Samsung should have a Galaxy S4 with IP67 and 13MP-camera just to make it even more expensive.
                              And the normal Galaxy S4 shouldn't get the 13MP-camera to make it cheaper? What for?

                                Samsung should just think of pricing this GS4 Active right or else this won't be a success. A lot of people are now owning a GS4 so they should really be careful in pricing this one. I will understand Samsung's strategy more if Active was released first and it has a 13MP shooter and then produced another GS4 which is non-IP certified after and a downgraded 8MP camera then they could say that the reason of releasing a lil lower spec'd phone is because they wanna make an affordable GS4 version for some who can not afford their flagship device!
