Samsung Galaxy S8 Active Design and Build

Design and Build

The Galaxy S8 Active is designed with durability in mind, featuring a robust build that includes a Gorilla Glass 5 front, a plastic back, and a plastic frame. At 151.9 x 74.9 x 9.9 mm and weighing 208.1 grams, it is on the bulkier side compared to its non-rugged counterparts. However, this bulk provides it with IP68 dust and water resistance, allowing it to withstand submersion in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. Despite its rugged design, the phone does not compromise on aesthetics, as it comes in metallic colors like Meteor Gray and Tungsten Gold, adding a touch of sophistication to its tough exterior.
