The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is here While rumors have persisted for weeks, Samsung has kept the lid on its rugged version of the Galaxy S4, the S4 Active.
GSMA was able to get specs and pictures of the upcoming device, which will be dust and water resistant.

The Active will run on a quad-core 1.9GHz processor with an Adreno 320 GPU. Just like the S4, the screen is a 5-inch 1080p display.

One difference should be the camera, which is expected to be an 8MP standard camera compared to the S4's 13MP sensor.

Probably cost around the same too. Plus, you then also get the Otterbox warranty ^^' , which covers damage to your phone.

Throwing it in an Urban Armor Gear (UAG) is a much better solution.

I like GS4 with the 13MP camera so I'll pass on this even though it looks slick.
