Swords swung and armor worn by actors in medieval films and ancient adventures are always created of plastic, painted and etched to seem like the heavy metal ware wielded and worn by the first warriors.

Samsung has created the same tomfoolery materials with Galaxy S5 Active. In images, the Galaxy S5 Active seems like it is embossed in protective metal armor, with full metal like etching around its stolid constructive bolts and perimeter on the back cover.

The exterior in S5 Active is every piece as plastic as the Korean mobile firm's Galaxy S5 and aside from the 1980's style sticking shoulder pads on its corners, slightly shock protective. Samsung never says that Active will be in a metal housing, however, camouflaging in metallic looking plastic sheathing. On the other hand, the company's marketing sells the phone as "has a rugged design that's engineered for outdoor activities,"

Samsung explains the Galaxy S5 Active has water resistance and IP67 dust with military features, MIL-STA810G testing versus an 18 specific environmental conditions subset which involves shock. Although, the Galaxy S5 Active features, which are countless, although, Samsung's misleading rugged and metallic masking marketing gestalt left an unattractive taste.

But since Galaxy Active S5 is at the similar price as the S5 flagship, with AT&T, the consumers' choice boils down to their wants for the S5 flagship design and fingertip scanner. The Galaxy Active is not really pretty, aesthetically speaking, so it may not be appealing to all, but very functional. Users can always just add some nice protective case to make the new Samsung Galaxy Active S5 stylish.

Samsung and Sprint introduced the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport during summer, another version of Galaxy S5 flagship with a preloaded plethora of bright red, bright blue, slightly dimpled rear. The phone also features fitness apps.
