The Rugged Alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S4
After unveiling the mini alternative to its highly successful Galaxy S4, Samsung today unveiled the rugged alternative of the same smartphone – the Galaxy S4 Active.
The Galaxy S4 is not exactly suited for exploring rugged mountain trails. So if you have an active lifestyle and like to go on outdoor adventures, don’t take the S4 with you – take its rugged alternative instead, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. This is a smartphone that maximizes durability without compromising on performance.

“The GALAXY S4 Active is the newest addition to the GALAXY series and is purposefully designed for active users who love the outdoors,” said JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung has taken the innovative features of the GALAXY S4 and added breakthrough protective design elements to create a device that thrives in an active environment and is built for a lifestyle of travel and exploration.”
The S4 Active will be presented to media quests and invited partners at Samsung Premiere 2013 GALAXY & ATIV, London, Thursday, June 20th. The device will hit the market this summer. It will be first released in the US and Sweden, then in the rest of the world. Specific availability will vary depending on the market.
