Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is in a nutshell Galaxy S5 with some additional improvements. Korean smartphone manufacturer is designed for active people who like to (or need to) sometimes dirty. As Samsung puts it in advertising on your site, whether it is in the middle of the desert or in your backyard. This device also gives the answer to a very interesting question, whether minimalism in smartphones has not gone too far and that a few extra buttons does not significantly increase the functionality of your phone.
Some wonder wake by the fact that, like the base model Active version has a standard IP 67 means that except ease of use (additional keyboards), both devices are equally suitable for use in the field.

Build quality
Samsung Galaxy S5 Active rounding the housing resembles previous models of the Korean manufacturer. Like the plastic used Galaxy S5 allowed to maintain a fairly low weight equipment. Unfortunately, like its predecessor suffered from the rigidity and robustness of the housing, although the fit of components remains at a good level. It should also be noted watertight and resistant to dust, as well as rubber corners to absorb the impact force on the ground (standard MIL-STD-810). Additional buttons supposed to have an impact on the convenience of using the device.
Display
5.1-inch SuperAMOLED Samsung Galaxy S5 Active has a resolution of Full HD (1920 x 1080p). The Galaxy S5 was doing such a display is great, so when it comes to model Active (as reported by the source) is exactly the same.
Galaxy S5 Active – Camera and Multimedia
In contrast to the Galaxy S5, S5 model Galaxy Active allows you to record video at a resolution of 4K, which will certainly be useful for the documentation of sports outdoor adventures. Samsung caught up the same little competition and a well that had established such functionality into its smartphones. As far as the other features of the camera, we invite you to review them.
Software
As reported by foreign portals dealing with Android with proprietary TouchWiz overlay. It is true that Samsung is not known for liquidity actions of its implementation of green robotic, but the smartphones are invariably simple to use and very functional right out of the box. More about TouchWiz overlay read our article.
Samsung added a special software only Active Zone. This application includes, among others, altimeter, compass and flashlight with several modes of output, such as, for example, Morse code. Such functionality is not overwhelming and can be obtained through external software. But the question remains who gives the Morse code with your smart phone
Battery Galaxy S5 Active
As the battery has exactly the same capacity of 2800 mAh, as in the case of the Galaxy S5, we expect identical the results of time without connecting to an electrical outlet. Speech about 10 hours visiting a Network using WiFi and 63 hours of listening to music. It is also worth mentioning the so-called Ultra Power Saving Mode, which you can read more on the site Trochetechniki. In turn, a more detailed analysis S5 batteries can be found here.
The first foreign test sites talking about the era of very intensive use without recharging, which bodes well.
Our opinion
In fact, not really understand the meaning of existence Samsung Galaxy S5 Active. There is more durable mechanically from the base model and as a matter differs from it only additional buttons. Changes is simply not enough to increase prices.
But there is ray of hope – if it will be offered in Polish shops in the same education as the S5 (or slightly higher) , the fans will be seduced video shooting at him because of the 4K camera. It will fall also appeal to aesthetes, as the new smartphone colors (dark green and maroon) present themselves very nicely and allow to stand out from the crowd. Those active and so do not have too much choice of top smartphones.
