After using the Active for close to a month, we understood why. On paper, the two versions share virtually all of the same specs. They have the same exact 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display, same processor, same RAM, same internal storage, same microSD slot, s...

If you're looking for a phone that can stand up more drops, dings, and dirt than the average smartphone, and you like the idea of tactile buttons, there's no reason not to snatch the Galaxy S5 Active up (provided you're on AT&T), as it's priced the same...

You carry your smartphone with you just about everywhere, so there's a decent expectation over its two-year life that you'll drop it. Get it wet. Dribble some food on it.Samsung's answer to those everyday problems is the Galaxy S5 Active, a new smartphone...
If you like Samsung phones, I think you're better off with the regular Galaxy S5. It's slimmer and more attractive, and it already has just about all the benefits of the Active, including water resistance.I think this is an aesthetic choice. If you want a...

Last year when Samsung came out the the Galaxy S4, they also came out with the Galaxy S4 Active. They did the same this year, when they came out with the Galaxy S5, they came out with the Galaxy S5 Active as well. Since the original Galaxy S5 was water-re...
the experience was very similar to that of the S5. It's actually a little better than the S5 (for me) because it helps with my clumsiness. I still suggest a screen protector in case the phone falls directly on the screen. If you already have AT&T service...

The good news is that the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active isn't a compromised version of the Galaxy S5 as was the GS4 Active compared to the GS4. The just OK news is that though the phone meets some MIL-spec 810G tests (4 foot drop onto flat surface, water resis...
