It is highly expected that Samsung Galaxy S5 Active will probably have an RRP around £550, and eventually may be discounted to below £500, which is certainly great news for those who would prefer to watch the developments and wait for their grab. The top technical highlights of the handset are Android 4.4 KitKat, 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage in addition to 128GB through microSDXC, the highly promising 5.1in (1920×1080) Super AMOLED 16 million colours display, IP67 & Mil-Spec 810G jagged design, 4G LTE, dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with 2×2 MIMO, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, 16 Mega pixels camera with ultra HD video capture 4x zoom capabilities, add-ons like heart-rate sensor, Activity Zone, 2Mp front camera, 2,800mAh battery allowing up to 29 hours talk time and 20 days standby, and 5.72×2.89×0.35in, 6oz. The predecessors of this envied model include the Galaxy S4 series siblings. These handsets flaunt in them slight variations that catered to the needs and expectations of diverse range of users: S4 mini was a bit more compact version with less powerful handset and economical pricing, S4 Google Play Edition that worked on a vanilla Android Operating System, the S4 Zoom, which boasted of a 16Mp camera, and the S4 Active, the rugged version of the standard Galaxy S4 with dustproof and waterproof capabilities designed for more active users. On 24th February, Samsung rendered its Galaxy S5 at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona. The event triggered several rumors regarding S5 mini and S5 Prime smartphones. Samsung Galaxy S5 Google Play Edition that resembled Galaxy S5 found its way on to the Play Store and also received Bluetooth certification. Another product figuring out in the S5 whiz is the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom. Galaxy S5 Active has managed to retain the hardware buttons of Galaxy S4 Active. In addition, you will admire the S5-unique features like the heart-rate sensor. The handset appears a bit larger than the standard version cladding itself in a metal chassis. The softened corners intend to protect against any damage. The deeper rubber waterproofing assures longer survival under water.  One amazing news is that in the Geekbench 3 test, Galaxy S5 Active scored 952 points in the single-core test, and 2,878 points in the multi-core test. We can say that this is a bit faster than the test results of standard Samsung Galaxy S5.  The new features thrown into Samsung Galaxy S5 Active over the standard Galaxy S5 have grabbed wider attention. While the hardware specifications are largely the same, the new features include an Activity Zone and dedicated Activity Key. The activity zone seems to have features that are unique to S5 Active that include a shortcut to S Health, access to the phone’s compass, stopwatch, barometer, and torch. You may also make use of the Activity Key button for snapping a photo with a long press. The other major aspect in Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is the inbuilt fingerprint scanner. As you swipe downward atop, this capability can read your digits’ biometrics. If the sensor stops working or your finger is in unusable condition, you may also use a back up password. Also, you can store data for up to three fingers. The other suite of interesting features include lock screen security, PayPal authentication and facility to hide sensitive pictures, videos, voice clips and files by setting up device to private mode. On the whole, it looks the android can effectively satisfy the great expectations with all its wonderful features justifying the price.
