What did you do to get them to swap? I've had my S5 since Late may and the active looks tempting.
are there any differences in the camera features?
I was personally within my 14 day return period, hell I was still in the same day. You can argue with them about them playing games with release dates, but not sure how effective that would be. I just ask, and you would be surprised how often you get stuff.
So the S5 and S5 active have a few differences, but unlike the S4 and S4 active, they are not the specs. The camera, processor, memory, storage remain the same. What is different, the S5A has an extra button, which is customizable,but is designed for active use. It brings up the "Activity Zone" which has a barometer, compass, flashlight and compass. There is a short and long press option, so my short press enables the camera, long press enables the activity zone.
The S5A has no fingerprint sensor, and has a different cable. The S5 had the standard USB port, plus an additional port next to it to speed up data transfer with a computer. The S5A only has the standard port, which is fine. The buttons on the S5A are also real buttons, not just an area on the plastic, but they are pronounced.
::Edit:: Also note, it is a separate build of the OS. Still 4.4.2, but different kernel build for this device. So the fathers day gift from geohut (
