Samsung would be working on the ultra resistant version of the Samsung Galaxy S8. Under the name Active, this new variant has been seen in the last hours in an important performance test. Thanks to its appearance in this test we have been able to know some of its main characteristics. The terminal would be powered by a Qualcomm processor, specifically by the Snapdragon 835 model, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM. We hope, judging from other leaks, that it has a more robust design than the standard version. At the moment there are no details about his coming-out, although everything indicates that his presentation could be very close.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Active (SM-G892A) has just appeared in the Geekbench database. To date, it had only been certified by the WiFi Alliance, the body necessary for the terminal to be able to become known. We hope that it will soon do the same at the FCC (the US communication agency), which would show that its announcement could be closer and closer. In any case, your passage through this performance test has left us some important details. The South Korean would have chosen to add the latest Qualcomm processor in this version. We are talking about the Snapdragon 835, a chip that is built under the 10 nanometer process. It is a powerful SoC and it is included in some of the highest-end phones of the moment.It would arrive accompanied by a 4 GB RAM, the same figure available in the standard model.
A rugged, shockproof phone
The design of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active would be ultra resistant. Like other "Active" versions of other South Korean phones, it would "wear" a much more robust casing in order to be completely protected against bumps or falls. In addition, it is also expected to be IP68 certified, which will allow it to be submerged in water for half an hour in up to a meter of depth. The Galaxy S8 Active would also have a 5.8-inch screen and QHD resolution and the same functionalities as its older brothers. The battery could be 3,500 mAh, the same as that of the Galaxy S8 Plus model.
For now, these are the only data we know, although we do not think it will take long to be known.
