Key Highlights
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active, priced in India starting from ₹52,999, is a true testament to Samsung’s expertise in crafting rugged smartphones that can withstand the toughest challenges. While most modern smartphones prioritize sleek looks and delicate glass designs, the Galaxy S7 Active takes a different path — one that focuses on strength, endurance, and practicality without compromising performance or style. Built on the foundation of the Galaxy S7 series, the S7 Active is designed for those who live life on the edge — adventurers, outdoor enthusiasts, and people who are simply tough on their phones. The device’s military-grade body, shatter-resistant screen, and IP68 water- and dust-resistance rating ensure that it can survive drops, spills, and even submersion in water up to five feet deep for 30 minutes. It’s a smartphone that doesn’t just look durable — it is durable. Samsung has also ensured that the Active model retains all the flagship features that made the S7 lineup a hit. You get a powerful processor, impressive camera performance, and long-lasting battery life that easily outshines most standard models. The phone’s physical navigation buttons make it easy to use even when wearing gloves or when the screen is wet — a thoughtful touch for active users. What stands out most is that Samsung has made ruggedness look good. Available in bold designs, including the eye-catching camo variant, the S7 Active breaks the stereotype that tough phones have to look bulky or unattractive. It’s a phone built to work as hard as you do — dependable, resilient, and stylish. In short, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active isn’t just a smartphone — it’s a trusted companion for life’s toughest adventures, redefining what it means to be both powerful and practically indestructible.
