Swappasaurus says...
Samsung released the Galaxy S8 Active in August 2017. This model arrived as part of the Galaxy S8 lineup, which also includes the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. The Active branding means the phone was built with durability in mind. The Galaxy S8 Active is MIL-STD-810G compliant and has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. This durability comes by way of an internal metal frame, and tougher exterior case materials. Outside of the added durability, the feature set includes a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED (2960 x 1440) display. Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a micro SD memory card slot, 4,000 mAh non-removable battery, and a 12MP rear-facing camera. The Galaxy S8 Active also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner for security, and support for Samsung DeX, which added support for Samsung’s desktop experience.
