    Yet another Galaxy S6 Active render leaks out

    The Galaxy S6 Active has been confirmed numerous times in the past few weeks, thanks to leaked specifications (which we were the first to exclusively reveal), pictures and certifications, and it's only a matter of time before the device will go official. Now, yet another render of the Galaxy S6 Active has appeared online, giving us another teaser of a device that will take the S6's awesome hardware and sprinkle ruggedness on top.

    The latest render is pretty similar to the one that was leaked before, except for a slightly more sober design on the rear side. You have the rugged home, back and recent keys below the display, and an AT&T logo around the back. All signs have been pointing to the fact that the Galaxy S6 Active will be exclusive to AT&T, at least initially, which means Samsung will be following the same release pattern as it did with the Galaxy S5 Active last year.

    The Galaxy S6 Active will be pretty similar to the regular Galaxy S6 – a 5.1-inch Quad HD display, an Exynos 7420 processor, 3GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front camera, 32GB of internal storage, and Android Lollipop. The battery will be considerably larger at 3,500 mAh though, which also means that the phone's dimensions will be bigger as well. IP certification for resistance against dust and water will be included, and it will possibly also be certified with military standards for protection against physical damage.
