In the weeks leading up to Samsung’s Unpacked launch event at Mobile World Congress, we’ve heard a ton about the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. When Samsung announced the two devices on stage in Barcelona, ​​Spain, it justified many of these Galaxy S6 rumors.

While these two devices have garnered attention, rumors point to another Galaxy S6 variant, the Galaxy S6 Active. Samsung Galaxy S6 Active rumors picked up a ton of steam around the April 11 Galaxy S6 release date, but they’ve been dormant until this week.

This week, we’re finally starting to see the Galaxy S6 Active version gain steam. With that in mind, we want to take a look at what we think we know about the Samsung Galaxy S6 release, Galaxy S6 Active features and more. If you haven’t followed, this will get you up to speed with Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S6 variant.

Galaxy S6 Active Release Date

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active release date is said to be for the summer. No specific date has been specified, but summer starts at the end of June, which means we may be at least a few weeks away from the Galaxy S6 Active release. Last year, AT&T launched the Galaxy S5 Active on May 30.

Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge release dates were in line with the company’s launch of the regular Galaxy S5. Could we see the company do the same with the “Active” model?

Galaxy S6 Active Carrier

Weeks ago, Japanese site Mobile Blog detected AT&T Galaxy S6 Active hides in Bluetooth SIG. The filing for the SM-G890A does not confirm a release date, but it does mean the Galaxy S6 Active is one more step towards a US launch.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active came to AT&T as the Galaxy S6 Active, while another variant, the Galaxy S5 Sport, landed on Sprint’s LTE network. So far AT&T is the only US carrier rumored to have a Galaxy S6 Active in the works.

Galaxy S6 Active Design

Current Galaxy S6 Active design rumors suggest it will come with a much larger 3,500mAh battery and an IP67 certification that will make it water and dust resistant like the Galaxy S5. Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge do not have IP67 certification.

Another rumor suggests it will come with a microSD card slot for extended storage, something the Galaxy S6 lacks.

Is This Galaxy S6 Active?

Until this week, we knew a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, but we didn’t know what the device looked like. Now we have a pretty good idea of ​​what to expect from the Galaxy S6 Active.

GSMArena recently leaked photos A device it claims to be the Galaxy S6 Active. The photos depict a device that looks nothing like its Galaxy S6 counterparts.

Photos of unreleased devices in the wild may not always be what they seem, but these photos look real. Famous leakster Evan Blass, also known as Evleaks, leaked press photos same device. This doesn’t confirm the overall form factor of the Galaxy S6 Active, but the evidence is hard to deny at this point.

There seems to be a huge casing around the device, which makes sense given the name “Active”. Samsung’s “Active” branded phones are always rugged, so this phone really looks like it will be water and dust resistant.
