Built to withstand the elements and your butterfingers, the Un-carrier’s newest active smartphone makes the most of T-Mobile’s super-advanced LTE network
Bellevue, Washington — November 7, 2017 –Go ahead, drop it like it’s ... the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. The ruggedized version of the immensely popular Galaxy S8 will be available at T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) online on November 17, and at participating stores on November 22.
From a specs perspective, speculate no further - in typical flagship fashion, the Galaxy S8 Active boasts some serious brawn: a shatter-resistant screen, military-grade metal frame, and protection against dust and water. Rocking a 2.35GHz octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor, Android 7.0, and packing12 MP rear facing / 8 MP front facing lenses, Samsung's latest flagship can go toe-to-toe with anything in the marketplace.
The Galaxy S8 Active's durability is matched only by its propensity for speed on T-Mobile's network...and this bad boy can clock some serious numbers. A 600 MHz capable speedster, it's the sixth gigabit-class device served up from the Un-carrier this year... From Band 71 to 4x4 MIMO and 256 QAM, the Galaxy S8 Active takes full advantage of the advanced technology built into America's best unlimited network. T-Mobile has the fastest LTE network in the nation according to multiple third parties, with speeds continuing to climb.
"The incredible thing about the Galaxy S8 Active coming to T-Mobile is that this device really lights up every benefit of the Un-carrier network," said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. "The top speed and strength of our network paired with this rugged and nimble device - it's a thing of beauty!"
T-Mobile ha duplicado su cobertura LTE desde 2015 y en la actualidad ofrece cobertura a 316 millones de personas con planes pensados para cubrir a 321 millones antes de fin de año. And, with new 600 MHz spectrum accelerating the Un-carrier’s LTE expansion into rural America, T-Mobile is making America’s best unlimited network even better with even more airwaves that reach twice as far and are four times better in buildings. 600 MHz LTE is already live in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Scarborough, Maine, and T-Mobile is on track to launch more in parts of Wyoming, Northeast and Southwest Oregon, West Texas, Southwest Kansas, the Oklahoma panhandle, Western North Dakota, additional areas of Maine, Coastal North Carolina, Central Pennsylvania, Central Virginia and Eastern Washington by the end of this year.
