Samsung Electronics' next major handset has been leaked and it will reportedly beef up the flagship Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge devices. Galaxy S6 Active will make an exciting round in the tech department as it is expected to become the best Galaxy device ever.
Galaxy S6 Active's leaked killer specs now have included a waterproof design and a far bigger 3500mAh battery. Galaxy Note 4 and Nexus 6 so far has the highest 3200mAh batteries.
Samsung has already employed water and dust resistance in the Galaxy S5. However, the design was ditched in exchange for the new metal and glass design. As Samsung brings back the waterproof design, experts fuss at the idea of resurrecting the plastic chassis. Nevertheless, hopes are high for fans for the tech titan to give way to high-end configurations at the expense of design and not the other way around.
A review article in Forbes believes that Galaxy S6 Active will "become the phone many hardcore Samsung fans wanted" with its greater practicality despite a small expense in size.
What was expected to be the Galaxy S6 Active that came out in Samsung's website over the weekend suggests the phone is up for a debut soon. The device hinted wears the model number SM-G890A, which likely is a successor to 2014's Galaxy S5 Active with model number SM-G870A.
As revealed, the S6 Active will also sport a high-resolution 1440 x 2560 pixel display. Although reported to bring in comparable hardware with Galaxy S6, tech experts believe that the next Samsung smartphone will sport a totally new design.
Inside sources of a South Korean news site, Galaxy S6 Active will have a 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED+ display and will be powered by Exynos 7420 SoC. Major change will come in the dimension of the handset at 73.6 x 146.9 x 8.8mm compared to the Galaxy S5's 70.5 x 143.4 x 6.8 mm.
Galaxy S6 sports a 5.1-inch 2K display and packs an octa-core Exynos 7 processor, 2550-mAh battery, a 16-megapixel back-facing camera, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 3GB of RAM and variants of 32, 64, and 128GB of internal storage.
