Review Samsung Galaxy S4

Pros: Dust- and water-resistant design; Underwater photovideo feature; Louder speaker than regular S4; Great array of special features; Better outdoor viewability than original S4
Cons: Lower camera resolution than original S4; LCD lacks rich colors of AMOLED; Heavier and thicker than regular S4
The Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active brings water resistance, a louder speaker and better outdoor readability for the same price of the regular S4.
The Galaxy S4 line of phones is quickly growing, and the next to join Samsung's galactic party is the S4 Active. Available exclusively for AT&T and starting at $199 on contract, the Active is nearly identical to the original S4 in terms of performance. However, this thicker and heavier version can withstand submersion in up to 1 meter (3 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes. The S4's water resistance does come with some caveats, but the Active lives up to its name.
