Dive Blue Samsung Galaxy S4 Active pictures leak from the wild

Following the recent Samsung Galaxy S4 Active unveiling, leaked images of the waterproof handset in a Dive Blue colour scheme have hit the web.


Set to be officially showcased during tomorrow’s June 20 Samsung mobile launch event, the newly hued Samsung Galaxy S4 Active has appeared in a range of prematurely snapped shots which further highlight the handset’s rugged construction.

Originally announced earlier this month, a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active release date is expected to be held in early July. Samsung has confirmed the handset which can be safely submerged in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes will be made available in three colours, Urban Grey, Orange Flare and Dive Blue.


Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Features

A direct spinoff to the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4 Active shares a number of similarities with its illustrious sibling, including the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean base skinned with the company’s TouchWiz UI.

Packing a 5-inch LCD display with a 1080p Full HD resolution and 443 pixels-per-inch image density, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active specs sheet is further enhanced by the same 1.9GHz quad-core processor found in the original model.

With an 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera lining up alongside a second, 2-megapixel forward-facing snapper, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active features list is rounded off by a 2600mAh Lithium-Ion battery, integrated NFC, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD. The handset lines up at 9.1mm thick and 151g in weight.

Unveiling the handset in recent weeks, Simon Stanford, the VP of Samsung’s Mobile Division for the UK and Ireland stated: “The Galaxy S4 Active offers all the great features of the original Galaxy S4, but with added innovative protective design elements to suit our most active customers.”

He went on to suggest that the handset had been “built for an outdoors lifestyle,” and that “the Galaxy S4 Active is a life companion for all environments.”

Set to be showcased for the first time during Samsung’s London based mobile launch event tomorrow night, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is one of a trio of S4 spinoffs to have been formally unveiled. The 4.3-inch Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and optical zoom camera bragging Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom are also set to hit retailers next month.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini pre orders kick off in the UK ahead of early July release

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini pre-orders are now underway, with the sub-sized spinoff to the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 set to hit retailers early next month.


Having formally unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini in recent weeks, one of a trio of Samsung Galaxy S4 offshoots to have been announced, Samsung has now seen its Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini replacement made available for pre-order through a selection of leading UK networks.

With both Orange and T-Mobile having announced their intentions to sport the smaller S4 sibling, the networks have even offered pricing for the device which has been pegged with a potential June 5 Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini release date.

Set to be made available on £26 per month, two year contracts, Orange has revealed that those pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will not be forced to pay the usual £49.99 upfront handset fee which will apply to wannabe owners after launch.

For this rather reasonable outlet, early adopters will see their S4 Mini handset paired with 200 monthly minutes, unlimited texts and a 750MB monthly data allowance. The network is to offer the 4.3-inch device in both of its S4 mimicking ‘black mist’ and ‘white frost’ colour options.

Shaking things up slightly, sister network T-Mobile has confirmed that, for the same monthly outlay, it will offer the S4 Mini alongside 300 minutes, 500 texts and 1MB of data.


Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Features

Not quite the industry powerhouse like its 5-inch big brother, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini specs sheet revolves around a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display and Google’s Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.

Boasting a 1.7GHz dual-core processor at its heart, the S4 Mini features list is further enhanced by an 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera, second, 1.9-megapixel forward-facing snapper and a raft of Samsung’s latest software features.

With the headline grabbing, eye-tracking Smart Pause and Smart Scroll making the cut, Samsung has also bestowed the S4 Mini with the likes of S Health and a bevy of camera options.
