Samsung Galaxy S6 Active shows up again - launch imminent?

A couple of weeks ago, Samsung mentioned the Galaxy S6 Active on its website, and we thought that the handset would be announced soon. However, Samsung is not yet ready to unveil the new smartphone. Even so, we still think that the S6 Active could be officially presented soon, especially since we can now take a look at two new renders of it.

The new renders show a black/grey version of the Galaxy S6 Active, which is obviously different from the blue camo and white camo variants that we saw last month.

The Galaxy S6 Active borrows design elements from last year's S5 Active, which means it's not the most appealing smartphone around. Needless to say, this is a device that's made to be tough and water-resistant, not beautiful. Specs-wise, the S6 Active is relatively similar to the regular Galaxy S6. It doesn't have a fingerprint scanner, but it's said that it comes with a microSD card slot. The handset should also offer a 5.1-inch Quad HD display, a 16 MP rear camera, heart rate monitor, an octa-core Exynos 7420 processor, and 3 GB of RAM.

AT&T could become the first carrier to sell the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. Would you buy one?
