Galaxy S4 Active hits UK shops starting at £495 contract-free

The water-loving GS4 Active version of Samsung's flagship phone is now up for grabs in the UK, sim-free. Unlocked Mobiles is showing it for £495, while Carphone Warehouse has it stocked at £530, comparable sums to the Galaxy S 4 when it launched. As you may remember, the model brings waterproof sealing to stock Galaxy S 4 internals (5-inch 1,080 x 1,920 screen, quad-core Snapdragon 600 CPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage and LTE capability), while settling for a lesser 8-megapixel camera. Still, you'll be able to bring those megapixels to an underwater environment most Samsung models would shun, so if you don't mind shelling out upfront for the privilege, hit the sources.
