Samsung is preparing for a new Galaxy S6 variant, as the Korean giant used to with every new flagship, it will get an "Active" version with tougher build. Today, Samsung Galaxy S6 Active SM-G890A has been spotted on Samsung's official User agent profile website... this still only a rumor thought.
This rumor isn't really backed-up by much information and for now the sole thing that hints at the Galaxy S6 Active is the model number. The mystery device is branded as SM-G890A, which some people speculate is very similar to the model number of the AT&T version of the S56 Active, namely SM-G870A.
Today, the first Press Photo (above) of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active has been leaked on twitter, The Photo showcase the device in a light and dark camouflage color schemes, which are likely designed to further enhance its already rugged appearance with AT&T logo on the back.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, model number SM-G890A, is said to pack a generous 3,500mAh battery. The latter is significantly larger than the 2,600mAh unit of the Originial Galaxy S6 SM-G920.
Battery capacity aside, we can reasonably expect that Samsung Galaxy S6 Active will keep the same top notch specs as the Galaxy S6. They include 14nm Exynos 7420 SoC, 5.1" QHD Super AMOLED display, 16MP main camera, and 5MP front-facing unit.
AT&T just announced its Samsung Galaxy S6 Active with the same 5.1" QHD Super AMOLED display and Exynos 7420 CPU chipset as the original Galaxy S6. The S6 Active adds IP68 and Mil-STD-810G-certified protection that can submerge the handset to up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes and it's completely dust-proof along with radiation, thermal and shock protection.
Galaxy S6 active also brings another upgrade over its vanilla sibling it comes with a 3,500 mAh battery a substantial 40% increase in capacity and there's also built-in wireless charging. Everything else is the same as the Original Samsung Galaxy S6 in terms of software.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 active will go on sale in Camo White, Camo Blue, or Gray starting June 12. You can get it for $0 down on AT&T Next for $23.17 with 30 device payments on Next SM 243, $28.96 per month at 24 payments on Next 18, or $34.75 per month at 20 payments on Next 12.
Last week, Samsung and AT&T announced the Galaxy S6 Active with IP68 and Mil-STD-810G-certified protection. Today, AT&T has the Galaxy S6 Active available for purchase in gray, camo blue and, camo white colour options.
The handset will set you back $200 on a regular 2-year contract and $695 without any agreement. It is also available for $23.17 per month on AT&T Next 24 plan, $28.96 a month on Next 18, and $34.75 a month on Next 12.
If you aren't already aware, the Galaxy S6 Active is a rugged version of the company's Galaxy S6 flagship. It comes with IP68 and Mil-STD-810G-certified protection, which means that you can submerge it to up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes. The device is completely dust-proof and packs in a 3,500 mAh battery.

Galaxy S6 has been considered prettier in comparison to its earlier versions because of the thin, sleek and shiny design. But ironically these are the features which make this phone not suitable for usage in harsh conditions like constructions or mining. Samsung took note of this and came up with a new variant with similar hardware configuration along with design changes.
So we have the Galaxy S6 Active, a rough and tough version of the phone that comes with a built-in case. Although it is not looking as good as the S6, but the phone body has a better build quality and it can sustain in bumpy conditions. The sad part is that the updates are rather slow and it is getting the upgrade to Android 5.1.1 quite late.
Along with the latest version of Android Lollipop, Samsung Pay will also be shipped to the device. The update with build number G890AUCU3BOJE has been released as an OTA, and it will be rolled out in phases, so it might take a few days before the users get a notification to update the software. To update the device manually you can always go to Settings » System » About device » Software and check for the update.
As expected, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active will only be offered by AT&T, as it was with the Galaxy S6 Active in 2015. A new leak has unveiled this information to us along with more. The S7 Active will weigh in at a heavier 185g with a measurement of 9.9mm in thickness. Other changes include a much larger 4,000 mAh battery and of course, the tougher build we have come to associate with Samsung's Active series.
The differences more or less end there as this is virtually the same phone, albeit with a few enhancements. You will find the same SD 820 SoC, 5.1-inch 1440p AMOLED panel, 4GB RAM and identical front and back cameras with Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 running it all like a boss.
If you are wondering how come we are almost sure about the release date then the answer is simply, rumors. Rumors throughout the last year or so have been dead on and since all leaks regarding the S7 Active point towards a June 10 release date, we are putting our chips on that date. As far as we know, the S7 Active won't be available anywhere else other than the US, at least not for the moment.

Unlike most of the leaks and rumors that we usually get to know about, this one was accidentally leaked by one of Samsung's own applications. Samsung Level is an app that is available for download on the Google Play Store and the Galaxy S7 Active is clearly mentioned as one of the supported devices in the description section. Now that the discovery has been made, the question is what else could the S7 Active bring to the table that the S7 does not already have?
Anyone who is familiar with Samsung's Active line of smartphones knows that they are usually waterproof, dustproof and overall tougher versions of the current flagship handsets from Samsung. This is a trend that was made popular with the Galaxy S4 Active and it has since been continued. What has spiked our interest in the matter is that the S7 is already quite resistant to liquids and dust to begin with and has more or less been endowed with most of the features that one would expect from the South Korean giant's Active line-up.
If we were to assume that this was not a mistake and the S7 Active is actually coming, then we will probably see a larger battery and both the capacitive navigation buttons would most likely be replaced with physical buttons. Other changes might include a more robust casing and greater water and dust resistance rating that's even higher than that of the S7. We will keep you posted as more facts come under the limelight.
The S7 Active is a rugged version of the regular S7 that's exclusively available in the US and only under a contract from AT&T. This model was supposed to take protection for the S7 to the next level with its rubberised exteriors and bumper casings. However, it has flunked the water-resistance test, according to Consumer Reports. Strangely enough, the regular S7 and S7 Edge had passed the same tests without any issues previously.
The team at Consumer Reports had put a Galaxy S7 Active into a water tank that was pressurized to 2.12 pounds-per-square-inch to mimic the exact pressure which the device would have to face if it was submerged under five feet of water. After 30-minutes, the device was taken out and it was found that the non-responding display showed multiple obtrusive green lines. Small water bubbles could be seen near the two camera sensors and after a few days, the phone became unusable.
The second test under similar conditions with another S7 Active resulted in the phone's display turning off every few seconds and the camera sensors showing water droplets as before. Additionally, this one had even let water sip into its SIM card slot. This unit became dysfunctional within a few days as well. Considering that this should not happen as the IP68 certification guarantees that the device can resist water damage for up to half-an-hour under five feet of water, we were surprised and disappointed. In the light of these test results, we would advise against any water related experiments with your S7 Active for now!

The Galaxy S8 Active is once again coming to AT&T, just as last year and the year before that. If you are not exactly aware of what the "Active" version of Samsung's Galaxy S-series smartphones are, then know that they are fundamentally the same smartphones, with the only differences being a bigger battery and better protection against shock, dust and water. In that regard, the S8 Active will be the more durable version of the regular Galaxy S8. Considering how fragile the S8 and S8+ looks, we would say that's good news for AT&T users.
The news was leaked by SamMobile and although the site did not have any images of the Galaxy S8 Active, it did leak two important pieces of info to all of us. Firstly, the S8 Active will be codenamed Cruiser and secondly, the device will have the model number SM-G892A. The bigger battery which usually accompanies all Galaxy S Active smartphones is the main attraction for us and if you would like to get your hands on one as well, you may have to wait till June.

While the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are fantastic devices, there are a few things about the two smartphones that are not exactly perfect and the underpowered 3,000mAh battery on the regular S8 is one of those things. The S8 Plus on the other hand has a decent enough 3,500mAh battery, but it isn't anything to write home about either. However, the Galaxy S8 Active will change all that with its 4,000mAh battery when it comes out. It's a shame that it will be exclusive to the United States and that too on AT&T only.
Check out the images in this article which comes to you thanks to a Samsung employee in possession of a Galaxy S8 Active prototype in San Francisco. The phone is going to be made mostly out of polycarbonate with metal on the sides for extra protection. There will not be an Active button on the S8 Active, unlike all its predecessors but it will sport the Bixby hardware button just like the regular Galaxy S8s. All other specs are the same, but the model number on this one will be SM-G892A. Are you waiting to pick one up?

If the title did not strike you as odd, then that's because you probably don't know about the history of Samsung Galaxy S Active series. Till date, AT&T has been the only carrier to launch and sell the Galaxy S Active series of smartphones. However, according to a recent report by Evan Blass and a number of other rumors, Samsung is about to break the Active series out of the exclusive partnership deal with AT&T to make the S8 Active also available on other carriers such as Sprint and T-Mobile.
The Galaxy S8 Active (SM-G892A) became available for purchase from AT&T back in August, but it seems like the rugged handset will become available across other networks by the time the Holidays arrive (or sooner). Interestingly, we have also seen another model of the S8 Active appear on Wi-Fi Alliance for testing purposes, which had the model number SM-G892U. As "U" most likely stands for "Unlocked," we wouldn't be surprised if Samsung is planning to release an unlocked version of the durable handset as well.

If you thought that tablets are way too flimsy, Samsung has just released the Galaxy Tab Active 2 which can take a hit and then some! Exclusive to the US, the device is internally the same as any other Galaxy Tab 2, but on the outside, it's quite literally a beast. The MIL-STD 810 certification guarantees that the Galaxy Tab Active 2 can survive through high pressure, extreme temperatures (hot or cold), rapid vibrations and even drops from heights that would shatter other lesser tablets. Additionally, it also sports a standard IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
While we all would like our devices to be a bit sturdier than they generally are, this may seem a bit excessive to many, until they realize that Samsung has a specific crowd in mind for the Galaxy Tab Active 2. Apparently, this is tablet for employees who must work in the harshest of conditions. While targeted primarily at businesses, those that love camping, trekking and mountaineering might have use for the tab Active 2 as well.

Android Lollipop is now on over 300 million android users, before the Marshmallow arrives in the near future. Google's not-quite-current operating system now accounts for 23.5 percent of active Android users, a healthy 2.5-point boost from what you saw just one month ago.
Currently, there are about 30% still on Jelly Bean, and about 38% KitKat, but it's clear that all those new devices and upgrades are starting to add up. The real question is whether or not that momentum will last.
Marshmallow is arriving relatively quickly, and shouldn't suffer from the early performance and battery life woes that kept some people from upgrading last year. If the newer release catches on quickly, Lollipop might not reach the lofty adoption rates of its predecessors.
More info: Android Developer
Google has published the latest Android platform distribution shares, unveiling that Marshmallow - which is the newest variant of its Android mobile operating system - is now powering 0.7% of all active Android devices across the globe. That's marginally more than the December figure of 0.5%.
Lollipop in the meantime got 3% increment in share, touching a total of 32.6% this month. But, KitKat retains the top spot with 36.1% Android market share, though there is a little bit decline from the 36.6% share reported in last month.
You can see screenshot above for the summary of the change in market share.
Google has just published the Android platform distribution up to June 1st,2015. Last month, Lollipop was trying very hard to reach 10% of all Android installs, and it finally did manage to get there.
What's more ? Android Lollipop is now powering 12.4% of devices worldwide, if we count both releases called that together. That said, KitKat is still the prevailing version among devices out there, reaching 39.2% of the market this time around. Interestingly, KitKat's share has been dropping steadily for a couple of months or so perhaps those Lollipop updates are starting to make themselves felt.
The three iterations of Android collectively called Jelly Bean are still (together) in second position, with 37.4% share right now, down from 39.2% a month ago. Then we have Ice Cream Sandwich with 5.1% (down by 0.2%), Gingerbread with 5.6% (down by 0.1%), and Froyo with 0.3% (which, surprisingly, is flat).
WhatsApp, the well-known popular mobile messaging service has crossed another major milestone recently. The company CEO announced on Twitter that WhatsApp is now service over 600 million monthly active users.
The CEO was quick to point out that it's active users, that is, people actually using the service everyday, and not just registered users, which would be a bigger number but a lot of those people won't actually be using the service. This makes the milestone all the more impressive and shows once again just how popular WhatsApp is.
Now serving 600,000,000 monthly active users. Yes, active and registered are very different types of numbers...

For those who frequently fly, finding the right pair for headphones is vital. The right headphones can be a game-changer whether you can stay comfortably under the chatter of the couple sitting next to you or sleep through the wails of the crying baby a few rows back.
If you are that person who likes to enjoy the calmness of the journey by using a headphone all through, you need to consider the best noise-cancelling headphone to shut the world around you. There are various headphones on the market and with the increased use of smartphones; they come with features like active and passive noise cancellation, which play a very crucial role. Are you confused regarding the best headphone to purchase? Read on to know more about your choice as the article dig more.
Passive Noise Cancelling
What is Passive Noise Cancelling Technology?
Passive noise-cancelling headphones are designed to block out any sound that is based on the physical ear cup design. It blocks more sound if the headphone sits on/in your ears perfectly, thus it depends on the brand and make you choose.
When you choose noise cancellation headphones, you focus on the immersive sound experience. You will enjoy hearing less unwanted ambient sounds with the feature. Passive noise cancellation headphones function on the mechanical designs of the ear cups that play an essential role in blocking the sound.
Headphones that are designed with passive noise cancellation have to completely cover your ears with extra padding that helps to enclose your ear completely. The idea is to focus your ears on what's coming out of the headphones speakers alone. But you have to be careful with your choice as the majority of passive cancellation noise headphones are bulky, and if extra weight is not your friend, you need to rethink between the passive and active type of headphones.
Why Use Passive Noise Cancellation Headphones?
The headphones, also known as circumoral headphones, are
over the ear type that entirely fits in the ears, leaving no space. They
completely seal the ear allowing the least amount of ambient noise to seep in.
They will enable the reduction of the ambient noise, providing you with a great
music listening experience. If you are a music person, these headphones can
work well for higher and middle range frequencies.
Active Noise Cancelling Headphones
What is Active Noise Cancellation Technology?
For this type uses materials designed to block out outside noise, but they take thing one step further by creating their sound waves. The type of sound wave that they make mimics the noise on the outside, but it is the mirror image of each other and cancels each other out. Active noise cancellation, also known as (ANC) uses a microphone to monitor the noise in the environment.
The newest headphone devices are using active noise cancellation. For instance, Bluetooth wireless headphones, headsets and earbuds help to reduce the distractions that come from a noisy environment. Manufacturers of these gadgets are not simply content with relying on extra padding to prevent any noise coming in - they introduce different sounds that are designed to cancel the noise around you.
Normally, there's a button you tap on to activate the active noise cancellation, which then cues into the sounds around your environment and releases counteracting sound waves directed at your ears; having the effect of getting rid of the noise that's distracting you. The benefit of this type of technology, it allows you to enjoy your music at lower levels - you don't have to crank up the tunes or phone calls to be able to hear them clearly. What does that mean? It means you have a better chance of maintaining good hearing in future.
What is the Best Noise Cancellation?
The answer is not simple for anyone as it depends on what one is willing to tolerate and how one is using the device. If you are looking for something portable that you can take with you on the go, active noise cancellation type may work for you. But if you listen to music while plugged into a laptop computer, passive noise cancellation technology may be a good fit.
There was a time when premium wireless headsets used to cost a pretty penny, and even then, the mid-tier sound quality wasn't comparable to what a much cheaper, wired headset would be able to offer. That time is well in the past now, as sound quality over Bluetooth has improved drastically, within a comparatively short time.
The PuroQuiet on-ear active noise cancelling headphones will set you back by less than a hundred bucks, but the Bluetooth 4.0 powered pair still promises to deliver on impressive sound quality, complete with active noise cancellation apparently! Now, the real question is, does it deliver, or is it one of the many ambiguous products in this price range, which pops up and vanishes with equal speed every year? Let's find out in the full review.
Build Quality and Design
In terms of build quality, the PuroQuiet headphones stand out from the bunch, for all the right reasons. The aluminum ear cups (blue/pink/grey) and headband were a pleasant surprise to find, since these PuroQuiet headphones are designed specifically for children and young teenagers. In other words, it's colorful to look at, but feels premium to hold, which is a rarity, as plastic dominates this category.
Sound Quality and Active Noise Cancellation
A pair of headphones are only as good as they sound, and the PuroQuiet On-Ear Active Noise Cancelling Headphones do sound quite good. It truly sounds like their claim of less than 1% harmonic distortion was an honest one after all! However, there's really more to it than just that.
It doesn't matter how rich the media source and the output device is, if the user cannot hear the notes in the same quality and purity, in which they were meant to be heard. The PuroQuiet active noise cancelling headphones solves this issue and makes nearly everything sound even better than the specs suggest.
When the ANC switch is flipped On, a combination of 82% noise isolation at 1 kHz, and active noise cancellation that can lower noise by 22 decibels, does a surprisingly good job of amplifying the audio experience. Your child will get to appreciate the quality of their music and media, even when they are in loud surroundings.
Designed to Safeguard Children from Damaging their Ears
Parents will be glad to know that all PuroQuiet headphones are designed to protect children from hearing loss, which is far too common today, than it should be. At no point will the maximum volume go past 85 decibels, which is well within the limits of safety, and is not known to cause any damage to human ears.
Should You Buy One for Your Kid?
If he/she is looking for a new pair of on-ear headphones, the PuroQuiet wireless ANC headphones are a great choice, especially for the price. The pair feels lightweight, in spite of being constructed chiefly with metal; something which creates an excellent first impression. More importantly though, the PuroQuiet headphones back up the good build with excellent sound quality, made to sound even better with active noise cancellation + isolation. Considering the fact that these headphones also come with an in-built volume limiter for preventing children from damaging their own ears with high volume music, we can't find any reason why you shouldn't!
Last year, Apple changed the way they had released iPhones till date by creating a new "X" range of iPhones. The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus still came out and followed more or less the same design elements as the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, but it was the iPhone X that got all the attention and rightly so. It is a matter of argument and debate whether the iPhone X is selling well, but one thing is for certain, Apple will not be ditching the X line-up this year. Moreover, if the latest rumors are to be believed, then the electronics giant from Cupertino may introduce some of the premium features to even the cheapest model of the iPhone 2018 as well.
Speculations suggest that all the three iPhones this year will sport a similar design to the original iPhone X, albeit with some modifications. However, the 6.1-inch model, which is expected to be the cheapest of the three, will sport only an LCD display, while the 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch iPhones will sport OLED panels, just like the iPhone X. We will keep you posted as more rumors and leaks pop up.

We have good news for our readers in the US as the Samsung Galaxy S Active has finally started to receive the December security update. One can argue that we are already nearing the end of the first week of January, but then again, these updates seldom reach the intended handsets in time. Also, carrier versions of a smartphone usually receive their updates a bit later than unlocked variants, as the file has to go through an additional layer of customization from the carrier.
The OTA file is landing on handsets with an AT&T connection only, which isn't surprising of course, given that the Galaxy S7 Active is exclusively available on AT&T. The 45MB firmware package has the build number MMB29M.G891AUCS2APL1 and brings with it everything that Android has fixed and patched in the month of December. That is it though; it isn't the Android Nougat update some of you might be waiting for. Then again, you cannot really expect the S7 Active to receive the latest from Android even when the regular S7 and S7 Edge haven't! Nevertheless, we did here about a Nougat based firmware update being released for a very few select S7 series of handsets yesterday.

AT&T recently completed releasing Android Nougat for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5 to all its users in the US. Now the company has just started to release the same OS upgrade for all the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 Active users on their network as well.
The OTA file comes in at a size of roughly 1.22GB - 1.36GB and that's true for all the three devices. You will find that there's less bloatware on your device after the update as AT&T Address Book and MobiTV applications will be removed post update. The April SMR release for Android devices is included in the package, along with some of Samsung's own security patches and performance enhancements for the handsets. In addition to everything that comes with the Android Nougat OS, a refreshed UI, Samsung Pass and Samsung Cloud should also become accessible from the three smartphones now.

For those that are not familiar with the Galaxy S8 Active, let us inform you that it's an extremely rugged and durable version of the regular Galaxy S8 that's available both on AT&T and T-Mobile at the moment. Unfortunately, in spite of having the same internals, the S8 Active had not received the Android Oreo update yet, but recent reports are indicating that is not the situation anymore. S8 Active users on AT&T are seeing the update arrive on their devices now, so you should check your Software Updates section too.
The update comes in firmware version G892AUCU2BRC5 and is expectedly hefty in size at roughly 1.2GB. Thankfully, the March security patch from Google and Samsung is also included in the OTA package. Although the official AT&T page doesn't yet have any specifics mentioned on it, this news seems pretty authentic.
