As the name suggests the S4 Active is a rugged version of the regular S4, aimed at those who want a phone that can stand dust or water. It is IP67 certified which means it'll survive being dipped into fresh water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 metre.
The front of the S4 Active has the same design as the Galaxy S4, with a polycarbonate body wrapped with a metal rim round its circumference providing a rigid and relatively premium look and feel.
The S4 Active differs with S4 in terms of camera and display technology. The S4 active has only 8MP as compared to 13MP on the S4, and the 5-inch screen is a TFT affair instead of Super AMOLED, but it still boasts a full HD resolution and looks smashing.
On the inside you still get the powerful 1.9GHz quad-core processor which adorns the flagship, plus the same 2GB of RAM and Android 4.2 OS.
Overall, a wide variety of quick settings, great lockscreen and some good native apps such as the music player make it a good smartphone.
