While we all know that the S7 is already waterproof and dust-tight, Samsung takes it a notch higher with the Galaxy S7 active, armoring it with a MIL-STD-810G casing , which adds native resistance to things like salt fog and extreme temperatures. This pro is bundled up with a shatter-resistant 5.1-inch Quad HD display , an anti-slip backing , and obviously, the plain S7's IP68-grade dust- and waterproofing .

This more-active edition of the S7 only comes with 32GB of storage (other premium-tier models have 64GB and 128GB variants), but it does enable up to 2TB's worth of external memory . Also, though its 5-megapixel selfie camera is a con in premium space, its 12-megapixel 4K-video Dual Pixel main camera makes for a noticeable selling point.

On other fronts, the Samsung Galaxy S7 active features the KNOX platform for protecting sensitive data, a programmable Active Key , and a fingerprint reader . Its specs are powered by a 4000mAh battery , which works hand-in-hand with a 2.15GHz + 1.6GHz Qualcomm 8996 CPU and a 4GB RAM .

The S7 active's assortment of pros and cons leads us to the conclusion that it is essentially a version of Samsung's 2016 flagship tailored to users who work in more-unforgiving environments. Well, isn't that just about what the name hinted?
