samsung galaxy s5 active specs

If the already waterproof Samsung Galaxy S5 is not enough for you, then the new Samsung Galaxy S5 Active will answer your needs.

The more robust version of Samsung’s flagship Android smartphone is the successor to last year’s Galaxy S4 Active. Early rumors state that an “Active” version of the Galaxy S5 might not come because the popular smartphone is already IP67 certified (dust and water resistant).

Since the ‘regular’ version is already IP67 certified, Samsung raised the bar even further. The Galaxy S5 Active is also MIL-STD-810G certified. Aside from the usual dust and water resistance, it is also salt, humidity, rain, vibration, solar radiation, transport and thermal shock resistant. Might be too much for the average consumer but this phone is perfect for construction and other related profession.

Another physical difference from the Galaxy S5 is the inclusion of a “convenience key” on the side that starts the Active Zone app. Also, the capacitive + home button combo is replaced with hardware buttons. It’s not bulky either at 8.9mm. Who needs a thick case now?

A benchmark from GFXBench reveals a specs list of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (model SM-G870). The data shows that the next tough smartphone from the South Korean manufacturer will include a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, Full HD display, and 2GB of RAM. Read the full data after the break.

According to the leaked benchmark a 5.2-inch display with 1920 x 1080 screen resolution will accompany the new S5 Active, while a lower Snapdragon 800 processor will be installed under the hood. Although it doesn’t have the S5’s Snapdragon 801 CPU, the two are both clocked at 2.5GHz. The list also shows an Adreno 330 GPU working closely with 16GB of internal storage (with 11GB of usable space) and 2GB of RAM.

On the imaging department, the rear camera is listed to have 15MP but its resolution of 5312 x 2988 results to the usual 16MP setup. The secondary camera will be at 2MP with Full HD video recording. Out of the box, the S5 Active is expected to run on Android 4.4.2.

There are no mentions of its IP certification but since the current S5 already has water- and dust-resistance, we can expect the S5 Active to be fully water-proofed on top of other rugged protection.

Stay tuned as more details get revealed for the next variant of Samsung’s current flagship phone. You may read our review on the Galaxy S5 if you’re still unfamiliar about it.
