Finally Samsung Galaxy Active S5 It is official now, after many leaks and rumors. And, this model does not present great variations in terms of hardware, although it does in its design since it offers a casing designed to offer greater resistance when using the phone (that is, "ruguerized").
One of the surprises of this Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is that the first operator to announce its arrival is AT&T. In other words, the US will be the first place where this terminal will make an appearance. Obviously, a gradual arrival to other regions (And, the normal thing is that Spain is one of the chosen ones, since the Galaxy S4 Active did arrive in our country).
The fact is that changes were expected in the new model, and the truth is that as you can see in the image that we leave below, in the design section is where the most important ones are found (the leak we announced on [sitename]). We say this since its housing is designed to withstand impacts in the best possible way (It even keeps the physical buttons of the previous version and not tactile for the control of Android). By the way, the good news is that the biometric sensor is kept under the rear camera.
Yes, yes is lost is the fingerprint reader, since this is now not present on the screen as in the normal version of this model. A detail to finish this section: there is an additional blue button on the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active called "Activity Zone" that, when pressed, executes specific sections for the moment in which you decide to perform a related special action.
In terms of hardware, few news
Yes, and what is most surprising is that the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active maintains compatibility with IP67, so its resistance to water does not increase (but it is better against dust than, for example, IP58). Additionally, it is from the protection heading MIL-spec 810G, which is also kept from the normal model.
Next, we indicate the specs more interesting offered by the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, which as you can see does not vary with respect to the original and, therefore, we are talking about a model of great power and that stands out compared to other “ruguerized” that currently can be bought in the market (which almost always offer less powerful features than this model from the Korean company):
- 5,1-inch SuperAMOLED 1080p display with Gorilla Glass 3
- Processor Snapdragon 801 2,5 GHz quad-core

The date of arrival on the market of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active has not been indicated, in relation to other regions than the US (and with the AT&T operator) and, yes, it is known that it arrives in three different colors: green, gray and red.
