Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Review

AT&T (SGH-I537)     See other variants reviews Score: 71.7 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is an absolutely amazing Android phone released back in 2013, coming with an exceptional Quad-Core processor ticking at 1900 MHz, a pretty big 5-inches capacitive touch-screen, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

This cellphone is offerred in 3 different colors, gray, orange and blue. The S4 Active is a very compact phone, given that it presents a 5 inches display and it has just 5.5 inches long and 2.81 inches wide. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is incredibly slim and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.36 inches. This phone feels much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone of this size.

This cellphone includes a high-tech 5 inches screen with a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, which makes everything look beautiful and brightful. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The S4 Active is equipped with a high-tech Quad-Core processing unit running at 1.9 GHz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T chip with a big 2 GB of RAM. Graphic calculations generally consume lots of processing time, so it counts with an extra 400 MHz Adreno 320 graphic processing unit to take care of them, leaving the CPU free for other tasks. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active counts with a good 16 GB internal storage memory and an external memory card slot, which allows the user to install a couple hundred applications without worrying about space.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. It also shoots videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD). This camera also features many useful characteristics: auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, fast burst mode, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

This cellphone offers WiFi capability (which can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) great performance connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a slower 4G technology and fast 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active also comes with a lot of cool features like NFC (Near Field Communication), Infrared Port, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

The S4 Active has amassive 2600 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, enough to provide the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active with an impressive battery life.

This phone is an impressive cellphone and it is priced around $ 145, which is quite the same as other same level cellphones. No matter whether you want a device for playing games, are looking for a phone for work, want it to take plenty of pictures or want a social phone, this phone is probably the correct option .
