Just because Black Friday and Cyber Monday are behind us doesn’t mean the deals are over. The country’s largest retailer, Walmart, is now selling Samsung’s flagship smartphone for an unbelievably low price of just $79.

This isn’t an official confirmation by any means, but it’s promising news for consumers in Canada who’ve been waiting patiently for Samsung to release the rugged, ultra-durable variant of its flagship smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active was an instant success thanks to its water/dust-resistant body. The original Galaxy S4 was not water or dust resistant, and many users ended up damaging or ruining their device by…
