We are used to seeing how Samsung releases an Active version of its current flagship Galaxy S. Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is the last in this series and is released exclusively for AT&T. Whether the model will go beyond the spheres of influence of this particular American supplier is unknown. But it doesn't hurt to look at the model.
The S7 Active has a much larger 4000mAh battery inside (as opposed to the 3000mAh Samsung Galaxy S7) Compared to the vanilla S7, there's also an extra physical button on the side of the phone that takes you straight to the "Activity Zone". This is an application that is exclusive to the active model.
- Designed to comply with the MIL-STD-810G standard, the gadget goes to the market with increased resistance to salt, dust, moisture, rain, vibration, solar radiation; with stability during transportation and heat resistance;
– IP68 certification gives it a dust-proof and water-resistant housing with the ability to dive for 30 minutes to a depth of 1.5 meters.
– 5.1-inch QHD (1440×2560 pixels) Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 4 protection. Withstands a 1.5-meter drop onto a flat surface;
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor with clock operating frequencies of 2.15 and 1.6 GHz; graphics chip Adreno 530;
– 4 GB of RAM; 32 GB of internal memory + MicroSD up to 256 GB;
– Android 6.0.1 with proprietary firmware TouchWiz UI;
– 12 MP main camera, phase-detection diodes on each pixel in the sensor, 4K video recording, LED flash, optical image stabilization;
– 5MP front camera, QHD video, HDR mode;
– fingerprint sensor;
– heart rate sensor, barometer, SpO2 sensor;
- 4000 mAh battery + wireless charging;
- FM radio.
– thicker than most modern flagships;
– only for AT&T with a lot of virus applications;
– Not compatible with Samsung Gear VR headset.
Everyone is wondering how long the Active series will remain exclusive to AT&T.
After all, there are many fans around the world who would like to get such a smartphone, without any pre-installed AT&T applications. We have no idea when this carrier release might happen, but keep our fingers crossed because an active phone with cutting-edge hardware will definitely appeal to athletes, travelers, adventurers, and people forced to work in harsh environments.
The exclusive AT&T phone has a rather average packaging. Nothing flashy about the fact that this is a flagship. Several compartments inside. The box opens like a lid. The package consists of a handset, some documentation and warranty information, as well as a charger box, a micro USB cable, and a SIM tool that can be connected to a key ring if you ever need one to pop the SIM and MicroSD tray out of the handset.
The charger box is an adaptive quick charger that Samsung released with phones like the Note 4. The quick charger and any Quick Charge 2.0 charger can usually be used interchangeably.
Samsung also offers an OTG adapter for using it with a smart switch, which is a proprietary app with Samsung's ability to transfer files from an old device. That is, you can connect your old phone to the adapter and transfer photos and contacts, and you can also upload your files to the cloud.
The Galaxy S7 Active may not be as eye-catching as some of the other flagship phones, but it looks decent. And its purpose is strength and endurance, and not to attract attention at parties.
The Galaxy S7 Active measures 148.8 x 74.9 x 9.9 mm (5.86 x 2.95 x 0.39 inches) and weighs 185 grams, but that's okay given the extra battery capacity.
The shape is taken from the S7, but the protected version comes with a completely redesigned body, as is usual for the active series. The most obvious differences, at first glance, are the three physical buttons on the front below the display. They can be easily pressed with gloves on. There is enough space between them, and they are not picky. The fingerprint sensor is built into the center key.
The frame around the screen is expectedly large for more protection. The headphone jack is on the top instead of the bottom like on the S7; the SIM tray is on the right side. And finally, the two volume keys on the S7 have been replaced by a single paired key. The keys themselves border on "too sensitive" and prone to accidental key presses if you're not careful.
The bottom and top of the smartphone are made of very dense rubber, which has almost zero compliance. This material absorbs shock and vibration. It does not burn and is inert to almost everything. Quite cool to the touch. This bumper is reinforced with a metal frame that holds the screen in place, as well as buttons and a SIM/MicroSD card slot on each side of the phone. It also helps the phone to dissipate heat. The back plate is made of polycarbonate plastic.
The back panel generally allows the smartphone to look quite sporty due to its finish. The texture makes it easy to hold the phone even in a wet hand. The combination of rubber, metal and plastic feels solid. The cameras on the phone are exactly the same as on the S7, paired with an LED flash and a heart rate sensor. But, unlike the S7, they are recessed into the body to protect the lenses from being dropped. It's also worth noting that Samsung has kept the notification LED on the active model in the same location as the S7 - to the left of the front speaker setup, which includes the light and proximity sensor, along with a 5MP wide-angle selfie camera.
Galaxy S7 Active is the same flagship from the South Korean manufacturer, but which is not a pity to drop or accidentally hit. Such a reliable friend will definitely appeal to outdoor enthusiasts or consumers who demand functionality rather than appearance from a smartphone. So, if you are a tourist, a construction foreman, or just a clumsy person, this gadget will add grip to your hand; among its properties is durability, which will certainly give you extra peace of mind. Moreover, he will work longer than his beautiful colleague in the shop. And all this addition for only $ 100 on top of the price of the original S7. True, for this you need to be in the United States, which is not very convenient. It is hoped that Samsung will lift the moratorium on this model outside of North America.
For some reason completely incomprehensible to us, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active smartphone has become even more popular among Internet users than the original flagship. We noticed this popularity last time when the Korean manufacturer released a rugged version of the smartphone and it just blew up the market. No, of course, there were no huge sales for the smartphone, and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active also does not plan to conquer the tops, but there are good reasons for this. Let's start with the fact that the device is created for active travel and those people who use a smartphone in extreme situations. That is, this is not the gadget with which you go to the club, not the device that is comfortable to wear in jeans to work. But, if you still decide to go to the mountains or relax in a boat on some lake, then this product will allow you much more freedom than the original flagship. Today we will see what is so interesting about it.

The site provides a description, specifications, reviews and reviews of the phone Samsung Galaxy S7 Active.
The American mobile operator AT&T has announced the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active smartphone, which will be sold exclusively in its networks. The device is a secure version of the Galaxy S7 announced at the Mobile World Congress. Almost all the characteristics of the device are the same as those of the "classic" flagship: 5.1" SuperAMOLED screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, 12-megapixel Dual Pixel camera with f/1.7 aperture, 5-megapixel selfie camera Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, the same one used in the Galaxy S7 for AT&T.
However, unlike the Galaxy S7, the Active-flagship has serious protection. In addition to dust and moisture protection according to the IP68 standard, the manufacturer notes compliance with the American military standard MIL-STD-810G, however, does not mention specific points. In addition, Samsung promises that the screen of the Galaxy S7 Active is unbreakable. Along with the level of protection, the Koreans in this model also pulled up the battery capacity - it was a record 4000 mAh for the Galaxy S line. The device is sold only with a contract, so its price is difficult to name. We can say that it is equal in price to the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, since the terms of contracts for these models are the same.
