Despite the fact that Samsung Galaxy The S5 is waterproof, the company is preparing an even more durable model, Galaxy S5 Active. This report was published by the notorious leaker @evleaks on his Twitter, where he also indicated that it is a phone with the model number SM-G870. This is a device that was first mentioned a few weeks ago and which Samsung is already testing in its Indian center.
The model should offer a higher level of waterproofing than the standard model and will initially be available on US carriers. AT&T should have the SM-G870A model designation that appeared on the first leaks. Because the cost of prototypes Galaxy The S5 Active is lower than the price of the prototypes Galaxy The S5, a more waterproof model, will probably offer weaker hardware. However, there would be nothing unusual about that, since the same scenario happened last year at Galaxy S4 On.
Samsung SM-G870x is the Galaxy S5 Active. Coming to AT&T and Sprint, among others carriers.
