Samsung Galaxy S6 Active shows up in Bluetooth SIG database

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active was just spotted in the official Bluetooth SIG database. In the past few weeks, we've heard quite a few times about this "Active" version of the Galaxy S6, but this is the first official document that mentions the smartphone. Although the Bluetooth SIG database doesn't mention the name of the device, the listing is for a Samsung smartphone codenamed SM-G890A, which corresponds to the previous leaks and rumors regarding AT&T's version of the Galaxy S6 Active.

According to a leaked user agent profile, the Galaxy S6 Active (SM-G890A) will come with a display running at 1440 by 2560 pixels. Rumors claim that the S6 Active will retain most of the hardware specs available on the standard version of the Galaxy S6, such as a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED panel, an Exynos 7420 chipset, 3GB of RAM, a 16MP primary camera, and a 5MP secondary shooter. In terms of dimensions, the S6 Active is expected to be a bit thicker and larger than the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge. On the upside, the new Galaxy S6 version is said to come with a large 3500mAh battery, and maybe even a microSD card slot and a removable battery as well. As with all "Active" versions of Galaxy S flagships, the new device is expected to come with protection against water and dust.

Usually when a smartphone gets its certifications, it's a sign that an official unveiling is not far off. Previous rumors claimed that the Galaxy S6 Active will launch at some point this summer.
