Samsung Galaxy S5 Active: Unboxing & Comparison (4K)

[@a-totally-random-person]

I used to love this phone. But, watching this on my s21 ultra like damn!

[@lsmocyclist]

I would consider this over the regular s5 !! I'm digging the features it offers and design !!

[@dannywinget]

Great job in 4K! Awesome video.

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks Danny, you are the Master sir! :)

[@casperslottery8143]

Yeah 4k lol

Samsung galaxy S3 mini

Very detailed video of the changes between Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S5 Active. Like this kind of comparison instead of a full review for every single phone. Hope to see more of it in the future!

[@DetroitBORG]

I love shooting in 4K, but the videos need to be shorter and more planned. So this helps to keep me in check ;)

[@canoopsy]

Wow, seems like a pretty cool device. No need for an Otterbox for this one! Great video DetroitBORG.

[@RobinMarkowitzcoolmedia]

Thank you. May be a bit "old," but I just bought this for my dad, and it's a GREAT phone! Highly recommended. So many neat features: the bright flashlight, the hard buttons, so many little things. And the extra button near the top for the barometer, I made into a camera button completely - so it's a point and shoot camera with a hardware shutter button! I did get a case for this phone: a "Unicorn Beetle" case. Just as tough as an Otterbox, but sleeker. I can't see not having a case; it's a tough phone, but still . . . It's a man's case, you might say. I also got him a belt pouch for it. I would definitely recommend this phone over either the S5 and definitely over the S6, which has not battery cover, and no SD card. Thanks for the video!

[@Kingbaylei]

Would you mind linking the case?

[@RobinMarkowitzcoolmedia]

Baylee Matthews​ No problem. In fact, I want one for my Note 4 for summer. But that's a slightly different case for a different phone. Better for outdoor outings. This is for the Active S5. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KPRVPK2?vs=1

[@RobinMarkowitzcoolmedia]

Also, I need to make another video showing how to make the most of "Easy Mode" without crippling the phone. Again, this is great for a variety of different people who need a tough, easy and powerful phone. People who work physical jobs and need toughness, power and simplicity, and for older folks who need the same. There are quite a few secrets for making this *the* perfect smartphone for older folks or those who want to keep it simple and direct. At the same time, you want the full features of the camera, calendar and other basic apps. That extra button is awesome. I have it so on a click, the car-park app pops up and you touch "P" to park. Or long press for the full-featured camera app. You can answer and hang up with the hard home button if you choose. (Yes, you can do that with other Galaxies, but I found it easily on this phone! Got it on my Note 4 that way now.) It's a tough, great phone. It's just particularly helpful that the capacitive places on the standard Galaxies are hard, physical buttons here, with an extra one that you can reprogram. And this case tends to prevent accidentally hitting them.

[@luisaleman1805]

This video has been up for over a year but I just saw it! Great job as always ***** I love your videos!

[@Beige1997]

Thumbs up for OS X Yosemite in the background. JKJK. Anyway, nice video Mike!

[@DetroitBORG]

And just updated to Beta 2 :)

[@RayanElasly-xb4nu]

this galaxy s5 active is amazing

[@alltheluck]

FINALLY!! Hats off to Samsung for this release! Cheers!

[@danceparttyy]

Mr. Borg, your reviews are solid and complete. Appreciate it!

[@MrChip1841]

A video by DetroitBORG under 10 minutes? There is a great disturbance in the force.

[@DemonHunter022]

This phone looks awesome. I love the Camo green

[@syedimam350]

watching this in 4k is awesome lol i can see every detail, honestly amazing.

[@StephenRardon]

No need for an Otterbox on this phone! Great video as usual Mike.

[@FLaNLeFLaNi]

Best review ever, honestly , you deserve more subscribers !

[@brentamania89]

Back when phones had back covers

[@AvgrSteven22]

I love the way this phone looks! Great video as always:D

[@jasongaudius]

Is the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active the same in comparison to the regular S5 concerning software or does it have some lag-ish problems?

[@JoSie4335]

My hubby works in the construction industry. This would be an awesome phone for him. Nice video as always

[@aflakmedia]

This phone is awesome it has like an otterbox defender case on it and the colour man thats amazing! !!!! Great review Mike!!!

[@hectormercedes2994]

Excellent like always, you're the best. You're the key for many people choose the perfect option. Congratulation!!

[@Burgeroo7480]

The 4K resolution is just absolutely breathtaking!!!!!!!

[@nooby4681]

Awesome review! Watched all of your other GS5 video.. Wish i had one to myself!

[@deleon629]

I'd compared my s5 active to the original s5 phone and noticed that my screen seemed slightly bigger. Are there only certain/regional models that have a bigger than 5.1 inch screen?

[@sneakycactus8815]

no thats seems ridiculous. your eyes are tricking you

[@zombiesoldier54]

I want this but its 2020 (mainly just for the camo style)

[@israels841]

Nice video mike like always. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@nav8475]

if i buy it unlocked will it work the same on other carriers?

[@konorcampbell4834]

Great video! love the detail! keep it up!

[@hltigue]

Another incredible review this phone actually might be worth getting if it wasn't for the fact its on AT&T

[@mygodisadildo8239]

Very good video you just earned a subscriber :)

[@quadred4135]

very nice video i enjoy watching all your unboxing videos :)

[@quangminho4616]

Perfect video Mike and the quality is amazing!

[@Th33Vultur3]

do both the active and standard gs5' use the same battery?

[@KianGurney]

Yes.

[@mjknopp]

Just bought one of these, Thanks for the Great Review!

[@antreasanobarcs5]

I love your videos continue the good job :)

[@pasanski]

slow motion on s5 and s5 active is the same??

[@OtisShantyOfficial]

Do they make any cases for this? xD

[@jeffscomp]

You probably won't need one since it's military spec already.

[@OtisShantyOfficial]

jeffscomp Thats the joke...

[@Lucky8s]

How is that a joke >.

[@paul1858]

Even though it doesnt need it...it will most likely have cases...LOL

[@pepto06]

Super Nova ya

[@Lgiasjs]

It would be better if you can upload those videos faster! As you know we can't wait to see your unboxing videos as soon as possible!

[@Steve-oh9tu]

The Samsung s6 is not rain proof at all. Trust me I know, that's why I am looking at s5 active.

[@jonathanvillegas9093]

you can try the s6 active

[@ThePlayerDancegenius]

This is awesome when you have 4K!

[@ameypanjwani6099]

Do you have any plans on reviewing the galaxy tab s. As usuall great vid mike

[@DetroitBORG]

Thank You! And yes, I have them pre-ordered.

[@javierh10016]

I don't know which phone to get the htc m8 it s5 active 😭

[@ldjohnson555]

javierh10016 Hey man, it's up to you. If you're more laid back, than the HTC one m8 is for you. But if you're very active, than the s5 active. But it's up to you. :-)

[@davidreppers4139]

does the SG5 Active have the exact same camera as the SG5? including ISOCELL, aperture F2.2 and 1/2.6" camera sensor

[@saqibaamer2185]

Is The Android Version Update able to Marshmallow or Maybe Nougat ?

[@ibrahimrenewarner4333]

Thanks. Can you charge the s5 active wireless? Thanks for letting me know.

[@Techspecs98]

Great Video Mike

[@rashedraed4193]

Don't know which phone I should take HTC one m8 or s5 active help me

[@nathanael27]

AWSOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't read the name of the video and I thought it was a case!

[@flarios48]

Really great video Mike. My dad and I are deciding what phones to get either the Active or regular GS5. Which would you recommend?

[@sagarkittur8647]

Great job 4K..!! Great videos..

[@AdamMoloo]

Which 4K video camera did you use in this video? I'm thinking of buying one myself... How many frames/second can it record in 4K?

[@seoncumberbatch9690]

Great job thanks for uploading this video

[@MiklosTamas1997]

Hi.. cool video! When will the s5 active come to europe?

[@RisingArmyDowner]

i have a note 3 right now would it be worth switching screen size wont bother me as ill get used to it just want it for the active features

[@twoawsomegamersBR]

Do you know any case for the standard that may look like the cammo green you have in the active?

[@troyr57]

Just right. Might have to switch to AT&T to get one, Thanks Mike for the review.

[@Twistedjester_99]

thank you now I found the phone I want

[@Bennim]

Dust resistance? SIGN ME UP!

[@davidmiranda3926]

I love your videos , you should do the surface pro 3 unboxing

[@mosabaibriki4931]

very nice review in 4K Mike . just one question out if the subject, what are your first impressions about the OS X Yosemite?

[@DetroitBORG]

I love the visual changes and features, especially the enhanced notification area with widgets. Right now the beta is far too buggy to instal on my production machines.

[@torrismontgomery2832]

Do you eventually get a software update with the Samsung Galaxy s5 active

[@JOSELOVESSTEPH]

I like how the phone looks like it already has an urban armor gear case on it =)

[@FlyingDrengr]

Can you do a video on your expectations on the note 4 like mkbhd

[@DetroitBORG]

I definitely can't do it better than Marques, ha!

[@FlyingDrengr]

I do like how you make you reviews longer than mkbhd's though. You add a lot more detail.

[@KatoTheKing]

I have this phone and I love it. My only complaint is that the home button often sends you to Google search and it can be really annoying. Other than that, it's a great phone.

[@maxf343]

you are my favorite youtuber

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks Miguel!

[@hunterfairhallkirkman7000]

2019?

[@jumokeawoleye5625]

Hi Detroit Borg can you do a unboxing of the Samsung galaxy exhibit or victory

[@eveningstar2630]

Hey great video One question ? Will you ever review the new 21.5 inch iMac 1.4 gh Just wondering thank you :)

[@kjmf]

Hey Mike is this phone out for sale unlocked yet

[@Petahpaka]

what if I'm not a hiker or anything like that, but I just tend to drop my phone a lot of the time. Should I get the active or the original S5

[@DetroitBORG]

Like SUVs, most of these phones will be sold to people who don't leave pavement ;)

[@Dentheman1995]

I need a little help here.. I have a normal S5 ever since day 1. It has cracks in it (don't ask me xD ) and now I will join the army I wanna switch to an Active. Now I LOVE the camoufllage on this S5 Active.. but the S6 is coming and about a month later the S6 Active will be able to buy.. So should I go for the S5 Active or S6 Active?

[@timmay86]

Wait till the coming weeks for specs for Active 6. Im reading rumors that its going to have more memory and introducing a new battery with a longer life. Im currently waiting for news about the active 6 also. I want them to verify for me whether or not theres going to be a removable battery and SD card since samsung is ditching both in their Regular Galaxy 6.If you dont care about that then either way lets see what their going to put out first.But thats the rumors. They want to get the iphone users first to buy their galaxy 6.

[@Dentheman1995]

Timothy Crespo Jr I read about a removable battery and SD slot in the S6 Active.. but that's the thing: I know S6 Active will be better.. but will it come in camo green xD

[@thor3d29]

Samsung just released an improve S5 in Korea (LTE-A), dont know if they will release in US

[@sagimor7978]

There are opportunity to download the activity zone? (Gs5)

[@0ErikaMC0]

Excellent video!

[@wookie_wagen]

Someone needs to make some more damn cases for this thing. Wish Lifeproof or Otterbox(Preserver) would make one.

[@aaron.biketrials]

Not available in the uk I assume?

[@brysonmcgowan2465]

Where did you get the account name DetroitBORG?

[@aflakmedia]

Is this available internationally?

[@MrSUPERLUTHOR]

Work this phone in europe?

[@andycoqui]

so does this have the finger swipe screen lock or no?

[@marcloismendoza20]

nope ..

[@CyrilRebusquillo]

Will you be giving away one?

[@rajanrajyesh6440]

It has new features, solid and rigid body, I appreciate that but still the design looks little bit bulky and ugly too, I would better prefer to switch to GS5. Anyway great unboxing Mike

[@quangminho4616]

No ios 8 and OS X Yosemite walkthrough?

[@DetroitBORG]

I will likely wait for the final versions at this point since changes keep happening and I want to have an accurate walkthrough.

[@Cruiseblackpool]

any idea when you will be reviewing the Galaxy S5 LTE-A with QHD display?

[@DetroitBORG]

I'm working on it, but it appears not to be going global.

[@hungang1062]

I love this amazing phone. Thank you for your info!

[@SpraqNetworkR1J]

That color light is also available as an app, almost exactly

[@shangus0518]

no camera time in last part of this video? why?

[@DetroitBORG]

This isn't a review, it's the same camera I reviewed with the GS5 so I didn't repeat it.

[@MelleHaanen]

can you buy this phone in other countrys like holland

[@ethancarter4388]

No mention of the absent fingerprint scanner. Anyways, loved this video as I do all of yours.

[@talibmomin9517]

[@darksoul7675]
