Samsung has been making 'active' variants of their flagship phones for AT&T since the Galaxy S4 launched and it comes to no surprise that AT&T is announcing the Galaxy S7 Active. What's special this year is that AT&T is naming the Galaxy S7 Active the 'Toughest Galaxy Device Ever' and that claim is backed up by a MIL-STD-810G certification that promises to protect the device from salt, dust, humidity, rain, vibration, solar radiation, transport and thermal shock.

While the Galaxy S7 Active doesn't come with a fancy curved display, Samsung did include a new shatterproof display atop of the Gorilla Glass 4 to enable the device to withstand drops of up to 5 feet. Similar to last year's Galaxy S6 Active, the new Galaxy S7 Active also comes with an additional button on the left side that can be configured to do specific tasks.

Furthermore, Samsung improved upon last year's model by including a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S7 Active which will work with Samsung Pay. But beyond the polycarbonate in place of the glass on the regular Galaxy S7, the Galaxy S7 Active is very much identical to the former in terms of internals.
