Samsung I9295 Galaxy S4 Active - user opinions and reviews

This is the first proper Android smartphone that I have owned before, and is a really bold one.
This one is a rare breed of Samsung Galaxy S4 with IP67.
This is so rare that it used LCD rather than AMOLED.
It has physical Android button rather than touch button, which doesn't light up in the dark.
It is actually sold cheaper than a proper Samsung Galaxy S4.
At my region, the proper Samsung Galaxy S4 only comes with 3G with Exynos processor, this Active variant is using Snapdragon 600 and is equipped with 4G support all the way, despite not the faster LTE Advance which come out later that year.
The speaker is actually also much louder than the regular Samsung Galaxy S4.
Then, with LCD screen, it doesn't has any AMOLED screen issue, which become more greenish or has color issue.
Despite being waterproof, and the battery still is user changeable, I do not dare to use it on wet condition as there has been report on water damage not being covered by warranty.
At the end, this was a more proper Samsung Galaxy S4 which is more durable, support 4G from the start, using better Snapdragon processor that doesn't heat crazy, but the smartphone sim card tray is broken after long used. At the end I changed to other smartphone after few years.

Brighton brizzy, 25 Jan 2019this phone is awesome ..its not a very big phone but it qualifies to be one of the best Samsun... moreI bought this phone when it barely came out, is 2019 and I am still using it, many people have told me to update my cellphone, but I will do until it stops working, so at this pace I guess I will keep it for at least 3 or even 5 more years... LOL

Best smartphone I've had.
I got one when they were released and I'm still using it. Been in water, dropped multiple times, run Oruxmaps with my topographic maps as GPS. It has removable battery of which I have multiples for extended life and solar chargers. The only gripe is Samsungs bloatware (cr)apps that one cannot uninstall.
Samsung has made the new Actives all have non removable battery to make you upgrade when the battery expires. That really stinks.

Bought mine used a few years ago, with a balance warranty and having had a repaired carried out by Samsung. I have to say, this phone has been astonishingly good in my work- I am not easy on phones, using them for personal, hiking, mountain biking, travel, and journalism, I drop them, have them in pockets with keys and equipment, and so on. I have used Samsung's official Active case, which is pretty damn amazing with the level of protection it offers for minimal bulk. I have a hardened glass cover on the display, and that's all I've used for the years I've had this phone. The cam isn't the best, the processor is slow by today's standards, the on-board is small and now I'm having issues with apps that can only go on the on-board memory. BUT the phone has never let me down. I've only had to replace a USB port cover recently for like 5 EUR for the official Samsung one, and a cracked display cover. Oh, and batteries- the official Samsung ones from authorized dealers are terrible. I now buy from Akku King in Germany and they have gone past two years without issue, while Samsung's start going dead after 8 months. I also installed the Activity Zone app from the S5 Active on this. The phone is outdated, but it's got everything one would want- microSD, replaceable battery, water-resistance, the cheap and effective Active case. Nothing after this has been this good or rugged. The S8 Active might be the first consideration after the S4 Active, but I would still put it in a case to protect the armoring.
