The Galaxy S7 Active has had its share of implicit public appearances, with Samsung leaking the device name in one of its Play Store apps, followed by AT&T leaking it as part of the company’s BOGO deal last month. After the photos arrived by way of Evan Blass, the renown leakster known as @evleaks, the device continued to stay in the news with no hint as to the arrival date (only June 10th as the launch date).<\/p>\n
As with other things in life, the Galaxy S7 Active\u00a0finally arrived this week, with little hint as to the specific date, but it was announced through AT&T. And yet, the device checks off all the boxes of what you’d expect of a flagship. Let’s get down to it.<\/p>\n
The Galaxy S7 Active features a 5.1-inch, Quad HD display with a 2,560 x 1,440p screen resolution, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 32GB of storage, a 5MP front camera with an f\/1.7 aperture, 12MP back camera with f\/1.7 aperture and Dual Pixel phase detection autofocus (PDAF), IP68 water and dust resistance, and a whopping 4,000mAh battery. The device runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box, so you’ll have the latest Android update, and comes with Samsung Pay integration.<\/p>\n
There are some things about the device that we don’t know, the majority of them pertaining to whether or not the Galaxy S7 Active is Gear VR-compatible. An AT&T representative couldn’t promise it due to the S7 Active’s bulkier body as compared to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.<\/p>\n
Having spent the last 11 months with the Galaxy S6 Active, I can say that the Galaxy S7 Active will be a treat. Though we can’t promise anything, we’ll work hard to get our hands on one so that AT&T customers can find out whether the phone is worth it or not.
