Samsung is reportedly working on a Galaxy S5 variant device dubbed as Galaxy S5 Active. This smartphone indeed is the successor of the Galaxy S4 Active announced last year. The unique feature of the S4 Active was water and dust resistance with rugged body. While former features are already offered in Galaxy S5, we wonder about the special features that can be expected in the Galaxy S5 Active smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active was the company’s quick answer to the water-proof and dust-proof devices being arrived last year. This year, Samsung plans to bring Galaxy S5 Active and we believe the same set of features will exist in this device too. PocketNow has posted some images and videos that share more details about the Galaxy S5 Active.
As per the video, the Galaxy S5 Active offers a Full HD display with 1920×1080 pixel resolution for the about 5.2-inch touchscreen display. It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat with a layer of TouchWiz Essence user interface on it. Samsung will power this smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 mobile chipset.
At the rear, it has 16 Megapixel camera that can capture images and record full HD videos. In the front would be a 2 megapixel camera capable enough to record HD videos. From the videos, it is quite clear that the physical menu buttons continue to exist on the smartphone. In terms of hardware, the phone performs really well. However, onus is on Samsung to make it available to more markets than the select handful of markets.
