Today Samsung is following up the launch of its Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge smartphones with the introduction of the Galaxy S7 active, a ruggedized version of the flagship S7.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active has a toughened body with bumpers on the corners to help protect it from drops. Its 5.1-inch screen is shatter-resistant, being able to withstand drops of up to five feet, and it’s IP68-rated to stand up to water submersion of up to 5 feet for up to 30 minutes. The toughened body also has an MIL STD-810G body to withstand dust, extreme temperatures, salt fog, and more.
Another major upgrade that the GS7 Active has over the standard GS7 is its battery. While the Galaxy S7 comes equipped with a 3000mAh battery, the Galaxy S7 Active includes a 4000mAh battery. And rounding out the GS7 Active’s new features is an Activity button that you can use to launch the outdoor-themed Activity Zone or reprogram to launch your favorite app.
