The multinational technology
company have unveiled their latest
mobile phone, the Samsung Galaxy S8
Active, which is "more rugged" than
other smartphones.
Explaining the features of the phone,
they wrote: "Constructed with
military-grade materials for the
utmost durability, this shatter, dust
and water-resistant smartphone has
a metal frame and bumper to protect
against shock, abrasion, tilting or
twisting. The back cover also has a
rugged, tough texture for a secure
grip.
"It has a shatter-resistant screen that
provides a protective layer for the
5.8-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED
Display. The screen's 18.5:9 aspect
ratio provides an expansive display
making the device easier to hold, so
you can enjoy bright, vivid colors
while watching your favorite shows
and movies on DIRECTV NOW."
The smartphone also promises longer
battery life with the large 4,000 mAh
battery that can be powered up
wirelessly.
It also benefits from Bixby, an
"intelligent interface that learns from
you to help you get more done"
Talking about the software, they
added: "Bixby includes intelligent
vision, voice, a personalized home
page and smart reminders. It's like
having a personal and intelligent
voice assistant at your fingertips.
"With a simple swipe or press of a
button, the Hello Bixby home screen
greets you with quick access to
active lifestyle features such as a
stopwatch, barometer, compass, and
flashlight. This makes Bixby a great
companion for your outdoor
adventures."
Tim Baxter, President and CEO of
Samsung Electronics North America,
added: "Our new Samsung Galaxy S8
Active is designed with tested
durability and strength to address the
needs of consumers who need a more
rugged device for their lifestyle. We
are thrilled to introduce the fifth-
generation Galaxy Active, which offers
the best of Galaxy features in a
tougher package."
