The S4 Active is a rugged version of the regular S4, aimed at outdoorsy types who don't want a phone that'll faint at the first sight of dust or water.

It will be released globally, initially in the U.S. and Sweden, Samsung told CNET. Read more of "Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is a waterproof S4, out this summer" at Crave UK.
