Rough, tough Galaxy S5 Active leaked on video

If the regular water and dust resistant Galaxy S5 isn't tough enough for you, you'll want to pay attention to the latest leak showing what's said to be the Galaxy S5 Active, a spin-off of the S5 that's ready to play really rough. Although we've heard very little about an S5 Active until now, it always seemed unlikely for Samsung not to launch both it and an S5 Mini sometime in the future.



The leak comes in the form two hands-on videos shot by TK Tech News, which gives us a brief overview of the hardware, and a closer look at the device's specifications. On the outside, the phone retains the S5's basic shape, but is covered in impact-absorbing rubber, and also has a set of three physical keys below the screen.







It's not mentioned, but we'd expect the phone to share the same 5.1-inch display as the S5, and although the video's host often says the screen looks to have a higher-than-1080p resolution, we doubt this will be the case. A shot of the phone's settings menu also lists a standard 1920 x 1080 pixel count.



Flipping the phone over reveals a heart-rate monitor mounted below a 16-megapixel camera lens, and a removable battery cover. A rubber seal runs all the way round the inside of the panel, ensuring the innards are kept dust free and dry. Sadly, there's no direct size comparison between the S5 Active and the S5, so we don't know how much extra bulk has been added to the phone. Prior to running a few benchmarking tests, it's confirmed the phone used in the video has a Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, and runs Android 4.4.2, making it identical to the Galaxy S5.



The S5 Active in the video is an AT&T model, but Samsung has yet to make the device official, and there's no indication when it may do so. Perhaps we should expect a major event before the summer, where the S5 Active, S5 Mini, and if we're lucky, the S5 Prime could all be revealed.
