Galaxy S4 vs. Galaxy S4 Active

So I wanna see which one you all would rather have. I'm planning on getting one or the other. I was going to get the active, but I found out that you have to like force press the screen because it's like made of plastic while the regular is made of gorilla glass. So what do you think?

I've heard that S4 Active is waterproof so i think i would go for that one.

The screen on this is perfectly fine, but unless you're planning in really needing it, don't bother. It runs much hotter than it's counterpart.

It's waterproof up to 3 meters for 30 minutes. But the only thing that's stopping me is the screen..

You've heard wrong about the screen, it's fine. The main buttons are different, but the screen has no noticeable difference to the normal S4.

I see. What's different about the buttons?

I've used both and I would go for the S4 Active due to it being waterproof its pretty handy...
