Samsung I9295 Galaxy S4 Active

The Samsung mobile team is going to take full advantage of the new S4 model, as it looks they will soon reveal several new variants of their flagship smartphone, the hottest names these days are: Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy S4 Zoom, and Galaxy S4 Active, this latter already has some pictures leaked by the guys at GSMArena.

If you have considered buying a Samsung Galaxy S4 and you're a fan of extreme sports, or if your daily activities require you to be in wet or dusty conditions, maybe you should wait until the rumored S4 Active comes to light.

There are no official announcements on Galaxy S4 active yet, but the device has been shown recently in Croatia according to the GSMArena report, this means that it could be officially revealed on next months.

The Samsung I9295 Galaxy S4 Active will run on a quad core 1.9 GHz processor with Adreno 320 GPU, the reported pixel density of the screen is 480 dpi, so the display may be a bit smaller than the original Galaxy S4, rear camera will have a 8MP sensor (Original S4 is 13MP), which means a downgrade in resolution.

The main new features of this S4 variant are a metallic casing fastened with screws on the back, hardware buttons in the front below the screen (menu, home and back), and the ability to resist water and dust.

Today was also leaked the name of Samsung Galaxy S4 Mega in an update of Samsung WatchON app. In its "What's New" section the update shows that the application now supports the rumored Galaxy S4 Mini, the Galaxy S4 Active, and the unknown S4 Galaxy Mega. Although this could be a mistake and actually refer to the well known Samsung Galaxy Mega (not S4).
