The S5 has 2GB or blazing RAM, a 2.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, Adreno 330 GPU. In addition, the AT&T S5 Active comes with an extra 50GB of storage through AT&T Locker. Inside the phone you will find 16GB of internal storage and a microSD slot that supports 128GB of external storage. Of course, with its extra casing, it’s a little larger around the edges. It’s very visible in sunlight and gorgeous to play any games, browse photographs, or watch media. Its display is a 5.1″ Full HD Super AMOLED covered with the sturdy Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

This sturdier version of the S5 comes with ribbed, hard plastic casing, port covers, and tactile plastic menu buttons. Read on below to see how the Active is one of the most indestructible flagship phones on the market.

Like the original S4 Active, this device is ruggedized for the outdoorsy, the clumsy, and the generally careless with their belongings. And, in this case, it’s the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active.
