The First Hands-on video of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 Active appeared on YouTube, its an AT&T variant of the S5 active with model number "SM-G870A" appeared on a short brief video.
The brief video reveals that the upcoming smartphone will likely follow the same formula as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. The handset will essentially be a toughened up version of the regular Samsung Galaxy S5.
Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is expected to be annouced next month. Its rumored specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC, 2GB RAM, and 16MP camera. Stay tuned for more info and leaked and don't forget to check out the 2 videos below.
A video on YouTube shows a pre-production model of the Samsung Galaxy S5. The video source referring to the device as Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime / Active as its not clear what Samsung will name this device in the market. The device in the video has a full-aluminum body.
A thick seal around the side of the phone, which makes it thicker than the regular version, could be a hint that the phone on the video is the Galaxy S5 Active.
While the regular version of the phone has IP67 certification, the Galaxy S5 Active is rumored to have IP68 certification which means that it can be submerged in up to 5 feet of water for as long as 60 minutes. Perhaps a tighter seal is required to hit that level of water proofing. The back cover is aluminum, and the phone came "out of the wrapper" with the Google Now launcher which hints for a Google Play Edition of this device.
The 2nd video from the same source revealed far too many inconsistencies. While the model number on the phone did show the SM-G906 belonging to the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime, but the screen's resolution is only 1080 x 1920. In addition, the 480ppi reading would indicate a sub 5 inch screen. And the chip inside is the Snapdragon 800.
Today, the first live photos of a Samsung device which alleged to be the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime has been leaked online, with an aluminum sides and back panel, The premium version of Samsung's flagship handset is rumored to be coming next month with a 5.2 inch QHD 1440 x 2560 resolution display. The manufacturer hopes to beat LG to the punch in the U.S., as the latter plans on offering a QHD screen for the LG G3.
Other expected upgrades to the device, compared to the Samsung Galaxy S5, include the use of a quad-core Snapdragon 805 CPU as opposed to the Snapdragon 801 CPU employed on the regular version of the handset. The Adreno 330 GPU on the regular version of the phone, is replaced with the Adreno 420 GPU. And instead of the 2GB of RAM found on the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Prime will feature 3GB of RAM. There is talk that Android 4.4.3 will be pre-installed on the unit.
Besides the QHD screen and the other changes, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime is made with an aluminum body. The speaker has been moved to the bottom of the phone from the back. Many out there will tell you that this is the phone that Samsung should have released originally. And while the average Joe on the street might not care, there is bound to be negative feedback from some Samsung Galaxy S5 buyers, who would have rather used up their upgrade to buy a premium version of the phone. How Samsung addresses this issue, if indeed it does, should be quite interesting.
Samsung's upcoming premium flagship, Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime SM-G906L, has just got its Bluetooth SIG certification. The device will be Samsung's first device with QHD 1,440 x 2,560 resolution display.
It looks like an early version of the device as the hardware version is REV0.1, though the rumors we've been hearing are for a June release so this could just be the first device sent for testing rather than a prototype. The rumored launch price is $880 - €640. The S5 Prime is Expcted next month.
