Samsung Galaxy S7 Active gets leaked in 'desert camo' gold

As we've come to expect of the Active series, the device looks unashamedly bulky by comparison to the standard Galaxy S7. As opposed to the slick, metallic edge, Active owners will likely get a concoction of rubber and polycarbonate plastic. Even though the regular S7 pairing does include base-level protection against water and dust, the S7 Active will apparently be built to MIL-STD-810G standards. This will arm the handset against extreme climate conditions including altitude pressures, shock and salt.
Set to carry the model number SM-G891A, it's probable that the device will include a 5.1-inch display boasting a resolution of 1440 x 2560—just like the regular GS7. A recent report did indicate that the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active could include a 5.5-inch panel instead, so we're keeping an open mind in this regard.
Away from the screen, the Active model looks set to pack the likes of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820, 4 gigs of RAM, and the numerous other high-end treats found in both the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. Blass' recent coverage also reaffirms the notion that the device will launch on AT&T in the United States.
We'll keep you posted on any further updates. In the meantime, let us know in the comments whether the Galaxy S7 Active is on your wish-list.

OMG, This phone looks disgusting, gross and super ugly. Definitely the ugliest phone of the year. LOL, good for lenovo though. Their moto X wouldn't be the ugliest phone of the year.

Looks pretty much the same way Samsung active phones always look. If you ask me it's the color that is truly ugly, just look at the S6 active, in the photos I think the phone looks pretty good for a rugged device but then I image it with that UGLY gold desert camo and it's downright mind aching.

If that's a fingerprint scanner, good to see Samsung getting a clue.
Now, retain the microSD and return the removable battery, and I'll buy one.

If it follows the s6 active, hopefully it will be 4000+mah. The s7 edge has 3600mah and the s6 active has 3500mah, so it might actually be really good.

Hope that front linear pattern is a glitch in rendering/photography (no clue tbh), it looks way off - otherwise it looks OK for a rugged phone.

God... People around me never appreciated any of the Active phones, but I personally think they're good looking for a durable phone. Last year's S6A even had those digital camos that made it look even better.
But heck, what is this? Do we *have* to include a fingerprint sensor with this phone? And does it have to be ugly like this?
