The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active spotted in the Bluetooth SIG base

The much rumored Samsung Galaxy S6 has been recently spotted in the Bluetooth SIG base. Some few reports for the handset have emerged over the past few weeks, but these are the official documents mentioning the handset. However, the document doesn’t show the name of the device but shows a handset with the codename of SM-G890A which is same to the earlier leaked version of Galaxy S6 Active by AT&T.

In accordance to the leaked user agent profile the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active with codename SM-890A will have a display running the QHD 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution. The display panel is likely to be a 5.1inch Super AMOLED one. The hardware specs under the hood for the handset would be similar to that of the Galaxy S6, which is an Exynos 7420 chipset, 3GB of RAM memory, 16MP of primary camera to its back, 5MP secondary camera to its front. The Samsung Galaxy S6 is said to be thicker and bit larger compared to both the Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6. However, this would come with added feature like a microSD card slot and more larger 3500mAh of battery life. Just like all the other previous Active versions, this too would be water and dust proof.

The handset is expected to make arrival anytime this summer.

The alleged upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 Active to arrive with a microSD card slot priced a bit higher.

Korean tech giant Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge earlier this month at the MWC 2015. One of the major changes that we saw this time and as such usually don’t see with Samsung flagships was the removal of microSD card slot for additional expandable memory and a user replaceable battery. Samsung has really managed to convince their users on the removable battery issue by introducing a number of power saving modes and other things. However, it would be difficult for their fans to swallow down the line the non-inclusion of microSD card as they are always boasted for huge memory provision every time.

For all those to whom the microSD card slot matters a lot, the Korean giant has got a drill. A recent from Reddit shows that Samsung is planning to arrive with one more variant of the Galaxy S6 called as the Galaxy S6 Active. In a recent interview of one of the executives by a Reddit user “garshol” a number of upcoming Galaxy handsets were discussed of which the Galaxy S6 Active was discussed a lot. The Active variant of the premium flagship would have almost similar hardware to offer and would come with a provision of microSD card slot. Additionally, the camera for this variant would be of bit lower class but would still feature OIS. Moreover, the model will lack a heartbeat sensor and will not have a fingerprint scanner.

Additionally it is also said that the Active variant would have a removable battery and also the inclusion of physical buttons to its front. The handset is said to be in its final developmental stage and could be launched anytime in mid-Summer.
