Samsung Galaxy S7 Active release date: unveiling of powerful flagship expected this month

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is rumored to be made official in the coming days.
In true Samsung fashion, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is well in the offing. According to the rumor mill, the heavy-duty flagship variant will be available before June.
Samsung's latest offerings were released earlier than usual. Since Samsung Galaxy S6 Active was released exclusively by AT&T in June last year, it is expected that the latest iteration of the Active Line will be out earlier as well. This makes a May launch likely.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active has been all around the web in the past few days. During its visit to GFXBench, it showed off its 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with Quad HD resolution.
However, earlier leaks pointed to the device getting a 5.1-inch touchscreen and not 5.5-inch. If the benchmark listing is accurate, Samsung is opting to enlarge even the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active.
The device had Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor under its hood with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage space to boot. The rest of the specs are expected to be the same with its standard and Edge counterparts, although there was no mention in the listing.
For those unfamiliar, the specs sheet of last year's Samsung Galaxy Active handset includes a hefty 3600mAh battery, a 5MP front-facing shooter and a 12MP rear-facing camera.
However, the front camera for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active indicated in the GFXBench listing seems to be a downgrade instead of an upgrade, inviting suspicions on the accuracy of the information.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Active will come with a tougher, more durable design. The smartphone is trading the metal casing with a rugged polycarbonate edges.
Also, the capacitive keys will be made into physical buttons. Overall, Samsung is beefing up the structure and build of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active so that it will be more hard-wearing, as it is expected to be.
The cherry on top will be the military-grade protection of the device. Since the S7 line now has IP68 rating, which means that they are water and dust-resistant, Samsung found a way to kick things up a notch through this higher level of protection.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is expected to arrive this month at the earliest.
