No fm radio on the Samsung s5 active.
Anonymous, 30 May 2014I like my s4 active's design better. this is so ugly. is my s5 active fireproof. anyone
Does this phone ever coming to the UK? or Europe? Its amazing, but I wont get much fun with us specs in Europe. Does it stay AT&T exclusive forever?

When can this S5 Active model come to Malaysian shores at the earliest??
Please dont confuse us sammy.
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I would rather get a rugged casing for the original S5 instead this. You know the S4 Active got KitKat months after the original S4 did ^^
Anonymous, 30 May 2014Now where are those 'dat bezel' comments? I guess now people can understand that when you ma... moreYou are missing the whole point my brother. With that much of protection, separate function keys and a 0.1 inch larger screen, this device is still shorter than HTC One M8 and even Xperia Z2. So in my opinion, iy is even a better achievement for this device. HTC should learn something.
So no unlocked version :(
Now where are those 'dat bezel' comments?
I guess now people can understand that when you make a phone rugged then you have to compromise something.
But here the whole design is comprised unlike in the almost rugged phones from other providers...
There was a rumor that Samsung had difficulties getting FM Radio to work properly on some hardware combinations and because of patent/cost reasons didn't put it on the S4. This may well be the reason we don't see it on any of their later flagships. Consumers that listen to radio usually do so a lot and using web radio, if available, uses a lot of data so this is not an acceptable alternative to them.

Not like yours.
I like the "built-in" protection of this phone. But those physical buttons are kind of a deal-breaker for me.
S4 : no proof
S4 active : dust and water resistant
S5 : water and dust resistant
S5 active : water,dust,shock resistant
Maybe s6 : water,dust,shock resistant
S6 active : water,dust,shock,fire,earthquake,tsunami,volcano,and mud resistant.
I dont recommend Samsung Galaxy Active series phones to anyone. Let me explain, why. I have Samsung S4 Active. It has even aqua mode to take pictures underwater 1 m deep. It has IP rating for water resistance. I closed all its seals and ports and back cover and took it to a try in a glass of water. And guess what, it leaked water. And Samsung Service doesnt cover water damage to the phone and i had to pay 100's of dollars for repair. It even leaks water when you type a message with wet hands or small spray of water. And , search google, i am not the only one. Majority of Samsung S4 Active phones are faulty. You will find many compliants on the web from all over the world. LAST WORD : STAY AWAY !
muche better than original s5...
Oh...So it actually is a little more rugged.
Sweet phone but man those 3 physical buttons look to be frustrating on a daily usage.
When we become the international version?
