Galaxy S4 for "active" - ??do you need it? - PCLab.pl

Galaxy S4 for

Some wise saying goes, do not confuse the only one who does not do anything. I have a feeling that someone really likes them Samsungu because the company has introduced recently to sell a lot of … highly experimental smartphones. Some of them are successful, others are just OK, and still others are quickly forgotten. And to which of these groups will Samsung Galaxy S4 Active? I have a feeling (and hope) that it will be remembered by me as “the smartphone, which blazed a trail for the Galaxy S5″.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is another member of the large family of smartphones Galaxy S4, to which even the classic “eska”, Galaxy Mini and Galaxy S4 S4 Zoom. The name itself indicates what you should expect, or equipment for active people. At least in the torii. Why only in theory? Because even though this gadget flexing their muscles and pretend tough, it is far from being the strength of the series Galaxy Xcover (you can find on YouTube what people do with these smartphones – is to look at :)). But there are some things that makes taking with him the phone on vacation, you can feel a little safer. First of all, it is waterproof, which confirms the IP67 certified, but it also has another tab (it looks for a more solid, but in practice it is catching features as fast as its glossy counterpart SGS4) and horns housing protects the rubber, which should somewhat better able to withstand falls. Apparently not much, but the possibility of wyszorowania smartphone running water always attracted me to him.

Hardware-and software-

is almost Galaxy S4 – is powered by the same processor, has the same set of technologies related to connectivity (do not run up the infrared port), etc. The difference? The LCD screen instead of AMOLED-a (but with the same resolution and diagonal) and camera of the Galaxy S III. And it would be enough when it comes to what was done “under the hood”. Going further clue changes quickly senses that Active is thicker and heavier than the original, though … and so it is still smaller and more convenient than Xperia Z1.

Interestingly, the Active is a mechanical system buttons under the screen. On the one hand it makes sense, because the water stops working digitizer, but on the other … there is no button to operate the camera. It is true that you can switch the camera underwater mode and then adjust the volume button as the shutter button is doing. Apparently OK, but I miss some consequence, because mechanized keys that are not used under water, and the most useful – not anymore. However, I must admit that Sony dropped it too with a slight delay, because the first “Zeta” also did not have the obvious addition.

So, in short, we are dealing here with a slightly trimmed Samsung Galaxy S4, which dorzucono waterproof and it is the shortest and the most precise description of this gadget, so you probably already know whether you want it or not. And where the words in the introduction that this equipment will be remembered as a device sawmills trails Galaxy S5? The answer lies behind the flap:

Yes, flap, because Active, in spite of its water resistance, did not lose a slot for an SD card or a replaceable battery. Resistance to splash achieved here in a very simple way, and seeing the seals I have no doubt that another Standard galaktynka could also easily have such a function. And I hope it will, because just in the appendices of this type, and not higher benchmark results, I can see progress. As for me, every high-end smartphone should have a certificate of resistance to dust and water, “self-healing” the plastic of the LG G Flex and digitizer, which do not need to take off the gloves.

I’m going with this text? For that, although I understand for whom the Galaxy S4 Active and should satisfy its target users, however, I hope that something like the Galaxy S5 Active rise not because … will not have to. Waterproof new flagship Xperia great sold and you can see that Samsung is noticed and standard eski do not have to be hard to change, so that they can boast the same. Therefore Samsungu to work! Make Galaxy S5 so that Active was no longer needed :)
