buck.ondricka
over 1 year ago
Nothing else really has changed between the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S5 Active other than the build quality and a few hardware button changes. Specs are still identical with them having a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 Processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage(expandable to 128GB w/ microSD), 16MP camera, and 2800mAh battery.
