Collaboration with Samsung, Under Armour and MapMyFitness helps Sprint customers get fit

Collaboration changes the way we play the game, and together with Samsung, Under Armour and MapMyFitness, we’re bringing together the tools to give you a picture of how your health and body are doing1.

Samsung Galaxy S® 5 Sport is built for an active lifestyle, with an integrated mobile health platform, heart rate monitor and more, so that users can easily access health information.

Samsung Galaxy S 5 Sport
This exclusive new Sprint Spark™-enabled smartphone will launch on Friday, July 25. With Sprint Easy Pay, well-qualified buyers can purchase Samsung Galaxy S 5 Sport with $0 down (plus tax) and 24 monthly payments of $27.09 (MSRP: $649.99).

Galaxy S 5 Sport is water and dust resistant2 and features a textured body making the smartphone easier to hold and preventing it from slipping from the hand. It features three hard keys so the smartphone is easier to operate when active. With Samsung’s Activity Zone, users can access a variety of preloaded content, including a barometer, compass, flashlight and stopwatch from a single screen.

Starting July 25 and for a limited time only, customers who purchase Galaxy S 5 Sport will get $50 off Samsung Gear Fit to help achieve health and fitness goals by tracking steps and monitoring heart rate.
