TALKIN’ TOUGH
Samsung’s flagship smartphone gets a rugged rethink.
In this day and age, smartphones make up
an integral part of many a tradie’s “toolbox”.
However, with their glass-heavy construction
and fragile designs, it’s safe to say most
of today’s top models aren’t made for the
worksite. Samsung is here to change that.
A phone tough
enough for the toolbox?
One of most anticipated smartphones of
the year, the release of the Samsung Galaxy
S7 had tech geeks worldwide hyped on the
upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy S6.
And now, tradies can enjoy all the features
of Samsung’s flagship device knowing that
it’s not one drop away from a cracked screen
or a dented exterior.
Most of the phone's other specs are the
same as the standard S7. The key features include
a 5.1-inch QHD (2,560 x 1,440) display, Snapdragon
820 processor, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage
with microSD, 12 MP rear camera, and IP68 water
and dust resistance.
And no, you don’t have to be Bear Grylls or MacGyver
to enjoy its added benefits. With so many investing
in expensive (and often ugly) rubber cases to house
their smartphones, the S7 Active essentially eliminates
the need with its military-grade casing as standard.
The Galaxy S7 Active is rugged variant
of the latest Galaxy model. Enclosed in
a beefier, stronger “military-grade" casing,
the S7 Active is 5 per cent taller, 7 per cent
wider and a whopping 25 per cent thicker
than the standard model. Samsung claims
the screen is "shatterproof”. Another added
bonus is the 33 per cent increased battery life,
making it one of best performers on the market
in this field.
Perhaps tradies can finally have a
smartphone that feels like a tool, not a toy.
