Peculiarities
Smartphone sensors measure physical quantities and transmit them to the application processor. Phones' accelerometer is a built-in electronic component that measures tilt and movement. A fingerprint sensor is one of the easiest and most secure ways to protect your smartphone. The proximity sensor detects when a user is holding the phone close to their face during a call and turns off the display to prevent keypresses and draining battery from the display.

Together with the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active, you will no longer have to worry about possible falls of the smartphone on the floor or into water - the flagship body is dressed in “armor”, the degree of protection of which meets the requirements of the military standard MIL-STD-810G.
Performance backlog
Translated into a more understandable language, we can talk about the fact that the mobile device is not afraid of dust, dirt, falls from a height of one and a half meters and immersion under water to a depth of about 1.5 m for half an hour. With all this, the “armored car” body is equipped with Pro-level “filling”, which the smartphone inherited from the classic version of the Samsung Galaxy S8: the most powerful Snapdragon 835 chip, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage and advanced Adreno 540 graphics. With such a high-performance hardware base, the model will not lose its relevance over the next few years.
Authentication Methods
Similar to its basic counterpart is the 5.8-inch display of the smartphone, built on the basis of a SuperAMOLED matrix with a resolution of 2960x1440 pixels. However, there are still differences - due to the protruding sides, the screen of the Active version has lost its beveled edges. The space above the display is occupied by numerous sensors, an 8 MP selfie camera and iris scanner - a special sensor identifies the owner of a smartphone by his retina. Another method of user authentication is fingerprint scanning. But the place for the fingerprint sensor cannot be called successful - the finger constantly strives to touch the “eye” of the main camera located nearby.
Maximum configuration
If we're talking about the device's camera, it should be noted that it is deservedly considered one of the most advanced. A sensor with a resolution of 12 MP and a maximum aperture of f/1.7 ranks first in all kinds of ratings and tests and shows very decent results in real use.
Mobile photographers have at their disposal an optical image stabilization system, tenacious autofocus and flexible settings for photo and video shooting. Among other useful features of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active, it is necessary to highlight support for fast and wireless charging technologies, as well as the Bixby voice assistant, which is designed to simplify the user’s interaction with the smartphone.
The picture doesn't show us much that we didn't already know, but we can pick out a few small details. The smartphone will have a raised frame to better protect the display and metal bumpers on all four corners that appear to have Torx screws. It's possible that this indicates that the bumpers will be replaceable, but again, this may just be for cosmetic effect. But if these bumpers actually turn out to be removable, it could open up a whole new market for accessories. This will be a great way to differentiate the S8 Active from its glass brethren.
In terms of specs, the Galaxy S8 Active (likely an AT&T exclusive) will have a 5.8″ (2960×1440) Super AMOLED flat screen with Gorilla Glass 5 and an 18.5:9 aspect ratio, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory, expandable via microSD cards, 12-megapixel main camera + 8-megapixel front camera, 4000 mAh battery and fast wireless charging. The Galaxy S8 Active will support MIL-STD-810G and IP-68 with water and dust resistance. The Bixby intelligent assistant will also be on board and will have its own special button to call it. The smartphone will be available in 2 colors: Meteor Gray and Titanium Gold.
Some sites quote a release date of August 1, 2017, based on screen protector product listings from Amazon, but this is obviously not a very reliable source. Regardless of whether this becomes true, we know for sure that we will see the Galaxy S8 Active soon. After all, the render has July 21st listed on screen, indicating a potential release date that has been delayed.

Mobile networks
A mobile network is a radio system that allows multiple mobile devices to communicate with each other.
| GSM GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is designed to replace the analogue mobile network (1G). For this reason, GSM is often called a 2G mobile network. It is improved by the addition of GPRS (General Packet Radio Services), and later EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) technologies. | GSM 850 MHz GSM 900 MHz GSM 1800 MHz GSM 1900 MHz |
| UMTS UMTS is an abbreviation for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. It is based on the GSM standard and belongs to 3G mobile networks. Developed by 3GPP and its biggest advantage is providing greater speed and spectral efficiency thanks to W-CDMA technology. | UMTS 850 MHz UMTS 900 MHz UMTS 1700/2100 MHz UMTS 1900 MHz UMTS 2100 MHz |
| LTE LTE (Long Term Evolution) is defined as a fourth generation (4G) technology. It is developed by 3GPP based on GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA to increase the capacity and speed of wireless mobile networks. The subsequent technology development is called LTE Advanced. | LTE 700 MHz Class 13 LTE 700 MHz Class 17 LTE 800 MHz LTE 850 MHz LTE 900 MHz LTE 1700/2100 MHz LTE 1800 MHz LTE 1900 MHz LTE 2100 MHz LTE 2600 MHz LTE-TDD 1900 MHz (B39) LTE-TDD 2300 MHz (B40) LTE-TDD 2500 MHz (B41) LTE-TDD 2600 MHz (B38) LTE 700 MHz (B12) |

| Svetlosila F-stop (also known as aperture, aperture, or f-number) is a measure of the size of a lens's aperture, which determines the amount of light entering the sensor.

| Focal length Focal length indicates the distance in millimeters from the sensor to the optical center of the lens. Equivalent focal length (35mm) is the focal length of a mobile device camera equal to the focal length of a 35mm full-frame sensor, which will achieve the same viewing angle. It is calculated by multiplying the actual focal length of a mobile device's camera by the crop factor of its sensor. Crop factor can be defined as the ratio between the diagonals of a 35 mm full-frame sensor and the sensor of a mobile device. | 2.95 mm (millimeters) 25 mm (millimeters) *(35 mm / full frame) |
| line of sight The field of view shows how much of the scene in front of the camera will be captured. This depends not only on the focal length, but also on the size of the sensor. It can be calculated using the viewing angle of the optics and the crop factor of the sensor. The viewing angle is the angle between the two farthest diagonal points of the frame. | 80° (degrees) |
| Image Resolution One of the main characteristics of cameras is resolution. It represents the number of horizontal and vertical pixels in an image. For convenience, smartphone manufacturers often list resolution in megapixels, indicating the approximate number of pixels in millions. | 3264 x 2448 pixels 7.99 MP (megapixels) |
| Video resolution Information about the maximum video resolution that the camera can record. | 2560 x 1440 pixels 3.69 MP (megapixels) |
