You must have known that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be a dust-proof and waterproof version (Galaxy S4 Active), right? Now the foreign media have taken the lead in getting the machine. Come and look around!

The picture in the article is from phonearena.com

This article is a partial translation of foreign original texts plus a small compilation of my own opinions.

The Galaxy S4 Active is IP67 waterproof, which can keep the interior dry for half an hour when the water depth is one meter.

At present, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is the most dustproof and waterproof mobile phone. The screen is still 5 inches with a resolution of 1080P, but TFT-LCD screen is used instead. With Snapdragon 600, 1.9 GHz processor, 2G RAM and 16G internal storage space. It uses 2600 mA battery and runs Android 4.2 system. In order to facilitate operation, the Galaxy S4 Active also adds ultra sensitive touch screen technology, so that it can operate normally even with gloves on.

The fuselage is a little larger than the Galaxy S4 because it needs to be dustproof and waterproof.

Galaxy S4 is 136.6 X 69.8 X 7.9 mm in three dimensions.

Galaxy S4 Active is 139.7 X 71.3 X 9.1 mm.

Although the design also maintains the style of the Galaxy S4, many changes have been made in details. Let's take a look at its detailed drawings.

The front of the fuselage basically maintains the sleek design of the Galaxy S4.

The bottom is completely changed into three entity keys, and the entity keys are also textured to increase the feel.

The camera and sensors on the top of the phone are arranged in the same way as the Galaxy S4.

The back design is quite different. There are screws to fix the back cover at the four corners, and the back is not integrated, but separated, which is more aggressive than the Galaxy S4 in appearance.

The back of the Galaxy S4 has a dark diamond pattern, while the Galaxy S4 Active has a hexagonal pattern, which feels like a snake skin.

After removing the back cover, we will see a layer of gray waterproof rubber ring. It is this layer of rubber ring that prevents water from entering the Galaxy S4 Active body.

The side key layout basically maintains the Galaxy S4 settings.

It just adds a little diamond pattern to make the keys feel better.

However, there is no waterproof plug for the headphone hole, which should be waterproof parts. Next door, you can also see the logo of the Galaxy S4 Active supporting 4G.

The USB interface at the bottom has a waterproof and dustproof plug instead. It should be noted that the Galaxy S4 Active is only waterproof and dust-proof, and cannot prevent falling. Its front 5-inch screen is also the biggest weakness of the whole machine.

As for the system, the Galaxy S4 Active still uses Samsung Touchwiz based on Android 4.2.

We are already familiar with this aspect, so I will not introduce it more.

In terms of score, you can take a look at this screenshot, because the Galaxy S4 Active uses a mid tier Snapdragon 600 processor, which can not reach the high score of the international version of the 4+4 core GS4. But overall, the performance is absolutely not bad.

As for shooting, the interface is basically the same as the Galaxy S4, with the same number of special effects. However, camera pixels will drop from 13 million pixels in stack mode to 8 million pixels in back mode. In addition, the Galaxy S4 Active will add an "Aqua" mode to take care of the underwater shooting mode. However, there is no relevant screenshot in the original text, so the editor cannot clearly describe it.

Next, let's see how the Galaxy S4 Active sample works. Since the original image still has an EXIF, the small editor also prints the EXIF of the sample on the sample for easy viewing.

It can be seen from the EXIF information that the Galaxy S4 Active uses an 8 megapixel camera with 2.6 aperture.

However, as can be seen from these samples, its metering effect and imaging details are worse than the I9300 with 2.6 aperture and 8 million pixels. So the children's shoes who care about its shooting ability may be disappointed.

I won't say much about multimedia playing and window floating playing. These basic functions still exist in Galaxy S4 Active.

As for the call test, the volume of the earpiece is very sufficient, but the microphone reception quality is not very good, and you need to speak louder when you need to. In terms of batteries, since the battery capacity has reached 2600 mA, there is no problem in using it for one day.

In general, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active can be said to be the strongest waterproof and dust-proof mobile phone at present. The overall configuration is very good and the operation is smooth. The 1080P and 5-inch large screen also have a better operating experience. Obviously, the 8 megapixel camera is flat and the screen is a bit insensitive when it is wet.
