Samsung Galaxy S 5 Active Available Exclusively at AT&T

by  • 

The newest Galaxy phone from Samsung, the S5 Active is coming to AT&T exclusively as of today, you’ll be able to get it online or in a brick and mortar store. Personally I wouldn’t mind this phone as it’s rugged like all phones should be really. Why can’t all phones be water, dust and shock proof? The phone of course has some decent specs and I love the camo option. Pricing varies on how you buy it and of course the best deal is with a new 2 year contract.
