While
Samsung's Galaxy S4 Active has made more than one appearance, the
latest one showcases it in its full glory, complete with operator
branding.
Notorious for several handset leaks in the past, @evleaks
has now revealed official press renders of the ruggedised version of
Samsung's flagship handset. The images confirm that the previous leaks
were genuine however the new render offers a glimpse of the Black and
Grey coloured variant of the phone. Previously, the Red and Black
coloured variant had
appeared
online.
The phone is enclosed in what appears to be a Black and
Grey metal shell with four bolts at the back. The Grey back appears to sport a faux
brushed metal finish and has a camera, LED flash, AT&T logo and the
Galaxy S4 Active branding. The front is pretty similar to that of the
Galaxy S4 except that the phone has three hardware buttons instead of
just one. The render also offers a glimpse of the sides with the right
side sporting the Power button and the left featuring the volume rocker.
The
images first appeared on TheUnLockr, which also mentions that the phone
will have an 8-megapixel camera and will be sold under model number
SGH-I537, in dark Grey and Teal colours. The screen on the phone shows
the date as June 21, which is a day after Samsung's Premiere event where
it will
unveil
new Galaxy and Ativ devices.
The Galaxy S4 Active is pegged to be
a dust and water resistant version of the Galaxy S4. According to the
most recent rumours
the phone is likely to feature a 5-inch full-HD super AMOLED display.
It would be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor and
Adreno 320 graphics processor. The phone is expected to have 2GB of RAM
and run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The phone will offer 16GB internal
storage expandable via microSD card and is expected to come with a
2600mAh battery. The Galaxy S4 Active will come with Bluetooth 4.0,
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, and NFC connectivity options in addition to an IR
blaster just like the Galaxy S4. The Galaxy S4 Active is expected to
come with 4G LTE connectivity.
