Samsung just announced its waterproof and dustproof version of the Galaxy S4 Active in Germany. Unlike the original Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S4 Active is IP67 certified, which means the phone will work perfectly fine even if you submerge it under three feet deep of water for up to 30 minutes and is designed to keep the dust at bay.
On the hardware side, the Galaxy S4 Active swaps the Full HD Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy S4 with the 5-inch Full HD TFT LCD and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 1.9GHz quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. The camera’s megapixel count has been downgraded from 13 in the original to 8 in the Active but gains an Aqua Mode to shoot images and videos underwater. There’s 2MP on the front, Wi-Fi, IrDA, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, 16GB internal memory, microSD card slot and 2600mAh battery.
The phone also features software enhancements like Smart Scroll and Smart Pause, S Translator, S Health, WatchON, Samsung Link, Samsung Hubs, Air View and Air Gesture.
The phone is priced at 649 euros but Amazon Germany is selling for around 550 euros.
