We've been asked by the team at Samsung to find 20 (v lucky) MNers to try out its latest handset - the Galaxy S4 Active and to add feedback on Mumsnet.

Samsung says "We think this new handset would be great for parents. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is specifically designed to handle all aspects of modern family life - including

~ the great outdoors - with a fully sealed design that provides great protection from dust and water - you can even use the device to shoot photos and video underwater, with your results optimised by the new Aqua Mode.

~ everyday family life - we'd love you to report back on how the handset withstands your general day to day life with a child  we'll be asking testers to 'allow' it to be dropped on the floor, 'eaten' by your LOs, and even 'accidentally' dropped in the bath/ (clean) loo to demonstrate how well it copes with modern family life.

~ looks and functionality - the Galaxy S4 Active also shares the Galaxy S4s slick design and useful smart services, so you can enjoy the same great style and convenience"

Full tech spec here

This new handset will be supplied unlocked for use on any network (just insert your sim) - the costs of calls/ texts/ data must be borne by testers. The handset retails for c£400 Grin.

If you're selected to take part you'll be asked to try out the handset (including some challenges!) and to add feedback at least twice on Mumsnet - we'll be looking for first impressions as well as some follow up feedback after a couple of weeks.

We'll also need you to add a review to the MN smartphones review pages
and on the Samsung pages

If you'd like to take part and can commit to adding feedback as above please add your details here

We'll be in touch with those selected asap

thanks and good luck

Entered. I would love to be picked! Does it make any difference if you have been picked in a recent MN competition?

...as in, would it be seen to be unfair if I got picked again?

My old phone has just died and am considering getting a smartphone to replace but have no clue which one or how to choose, so this trial would be perfect for me. I also have two children of 7 & 4 who are ipad aware (BIL) so would be good for them to join in too (under supervision).
I have also just given up work so would have time to test thoroughly.

Please put my name in the hat. MLM

I have a galaxy S4 and really wish I didn't. The battery is useless and keeps cutting out. It has swelled up and is actually pushing the screen outt of the front of the phone. It has to be permanently plugged in to be of any use.

I wish I could have my iPhone back :'(

Sanity, not sure that's the way to get a replacement! Wink
