Since its official debut on March 29, the Samsung Galaxy S8 has been 2017’s most coveted device, thanks to its design and software improvements. But according to a new report, AT&T users will have a chance to own a Samsung Galaxy S8 Active variant, which is basically a handset model with features from the S-flagship of the year and repackaged in a way for outdoor use.
SAMMobile said the Galaxy S8 Active is reportedly in the works, with a model unit number SM-G892A codenamed “Cruiser”:
“Active variants of Samsung’s Galaxy S flagships have always have larger batteries, and maybe Cruiser is meant to portray that it can walk the extra mile without needing refuelling with a charger. A cruiser is also the “largest and most powerful surface combatant”, and Samsung’s latest Active device is certainly going to be strong and quite large.”
The Verge said that with the various specification changes between S7 and S8, it is hard to deduce what the rugged version of Samsung Galaxy S8 would look like once it’s shipped for customer delivery. Previous Active versions have three front buttons typical on a smartphone screen, and this year’s Galaxy S8 had do away without it. Curved screen Active would purportedly be the first time, but the Active variant might feature a flat screen instead.
It has been suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active will be released sometime in June, the same schedule all previous Active models have launched.
