Samsung Galaxy S7 Active specs

With the announcement of the device's release through AT&T, we also got an official specs listing, which closely mirrors what we've seen in recent leaks.

The S7 Active has a very sizable battery, coming in at 4,000 mAh. That's 400 mAh bigger than the S7 Edge.

The 5.1-inch screen is Super AMOLED and has a QHD resolution, making it the same screen as the Galaxy S7 and the S6 Active, the predecessor to the S7 Active.

The device is powered by the Snapdragon 820 backed with 4 GB of RAM – that's 1 GB bigger than the previous generation. We also see 32 GB of internal memory as standard on the device, with SD card support enabling this to be expanded up to 200 GB.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active features

The Galaxy S7 Active has the same weatherproofing as the S7 and S7 Edge, that is IP68. On top of that it offers a military-grade body (MIL STD-810G) and a shatter-resistant screen.

The camera system on the S7 Active comprises a 12 MP rear camera, which is 4 MP smaller than its predecessor. But this is not something we need to be worried about. Samsung did this with the move from the S6 to S7 and made up for the reduced pixel count with dual-pixel technology, which is exactly what the S7 Active does. The front-facing camera is 5 MP.
