A few weeks ago we were you informed, that Samsung is preparing a durable version Galaxy S8. Traditionally, it should be the version with the nickname Active, which the South Korean giant always launches shortly after the premiere of the flagship model from the series Galaxy S. This year will be no different, but everyone was interested in how Samsung can transform the most fragile smartphone ever in one of the most durable models. But the new photo gives us a fairly accurate answer to our question.

The South Koreans have decided to release the endless display that has been highlighted so many times. Thus, not only did the curved edges disappear, but the upper and lower frames were also slightly enlarged. Even so, Samsung decided not to return the classic hardware button, and those interested in a durable model will have to settle for a software replacement. If you look at the photo below, you'll have to agree with us, right Galaxy The S8 Active will strongly resemble the LG G6.

The phone will be called SM-G892A and should boast the same internals as its less durable sibling. There will also be wireless charging, because she took care of the leak Wireless Power Consortium, the group behind the Qi wireless charging standard. Of course, there will be IP68 dust and water resistance and probably also MIL-STD 810G, when the phone is tested in extremely high and low temperatures, so it can withstand thermal shocks, mold, corrosion, vibrations, etc.

Compared to the standard model, however, the Active should have a significantly larger battery. For example, last year Galaxy The S7 Active boasted a 4000mAh battery, while the classic Galaxy The S7 had a 3000 mAh battery. Initially, the novelty should be sold only in the United States exclusively with the operator AT&T. However, it is likely that it will also visit the European market.
