Samsung has announced in Korea the LTE-capable GALAXY S4 Active – its answer to the Sony Xperia Z – in terms of dust and water resistance. It is expected to be available in Singapore in Q3 2013.
The Urban Gray version of the Samsung GALAXY S4 ACTIVE With LTE will be available in Singapore from 13 July. RRP: SGD$898 (incl. GST but excluding contract).
The Orange Flare version will be available end-July.
Don’t be surprised if you see the new Samsung GALAXY S4 Active in Singapore as early as July.
The GALAXY S4 Active is designed to be the “perfect companion for exploration, activity and adventure”.
It is targeted at the active user who wants to stay connected while exploring environments from the most rugged mountain trails to the roughest rivers.
Recognizing the demands of a dynamic lifestyle, the GALAXY S4 Active was engineered to keep active users connected as they explore and experience the world around them.
The GALAXY S4 Active has qualified protection from dust and water (IP67), so you never have to leave the device at home during a long day at the beach or dusty hike.
The fully sealed design keeps dust particles out and protects against water damage for up to 30 minutes of submergence at a depth of one meter.
The “IP” in IP67 stands for International Protection against ingress of solid foreign objects and harmful ingress of water.
The highest level is IP68.
Equipped with a water-resistant earphone jack, the GALAXY S4 Active frees you to use earphones in more adventurous conditions, in the same way you’ve used them in normal ones.
Whether capturing every moment of a wild rafting trip or taking a great underwater photo in the pool, the device’s unique construction lets users capture amazing moments previously impossible using a normal smartphone.
The Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) smartphone has a 5-inch’ Full HD (1920 x 1080) TFT LCD screen (443 PPI) touch screen, with a 2,600mAh battery.
The GALAXY S4 Active is powered by a 1.9 GHZ Quad-Core processor.
It measures 139.7 x 71.3 x 9.1 mm and weighs 153g.
The smartphone has a 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash light and 2-megapixel front camera.
