We know that the new Samsung Galaxy S8 Active will be exclusive to AT&T in the US. Now it would appear that AT&T has confirmed the handset on their website.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Active will come with a 5.8 inch Super AMOLED display. The display on the device will have a QHD+ resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels. The device will be powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor from Qualcomm.
Performance and Storage
The handset will come with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of included storage. If you need some extra storage, the device will also feature a microSD card slot which will support 256GB cards. This ensures that users have ample space for apps, photos, videos, and other data. The Snapdragon 835 processor, combined with 4GB of RAM, promises smooth performance for multitasking, gaming, and other intensive applications.
Camera and Battery Life
Other specifications on the handset will include dual 12 megapixel rear cameras for photos and videos and an 8 megapixel front camera. The dual rear cameras are expected to provide excellent photo quality with features like optical image stabilization and 4K video recording. The 8 megapixel front camera will be ideal for selfies and video calls, ensuring clear and sharp images.
There will also be a 4000 mAh battery, which is a significant upgrade compared to the standard Galaxy S8. This larger battery capacity is designed to provide extended usage time, making it ideal for users who are always on the go. The device will also support fast charging and wireless charging, adding to the convenience.
Durability and Software
The device will have a P68 rating and also a MIL-STG-810G rating. The IP68 rating means that the Galaxy S8 Active is dust-tight and can withstand being submerged in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. The MIL-STD-810G rating indicates that the phone has passed military-grade tests for durability, including resistance to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. This makes the Galaxy S8 Active an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts and those who need a rugged phone for demanding environments.
The Galaxy S8 Active will come with Android Nougat out of the box. While this is not the latest version of Android, Samsung typically provides regular updates, so users can expect to receive newer versions of the operating system over time. Android Nougat offers a range of features, including split-screen multitasking, improved notifications, and enhanced battery management.
Additional Features and Launch Information
In addition to the core specifications, the Galaxy S8 Active is expected to come with a range of additional features. These may include Samsung’s Bixby virtual assistant, which offers voice control and contextual information, as well as Samsung Pay for mobile payments. The device is also likely to include a fingerprint scanner and facial recognition for added security.
As yet we do not have any information on exactly when the Galaxy S8 Active will launch on AT&T. However, given that the device has already been confirmed on AT&T’s website, it is likely that the launch will be imminent. As soon as we get some more details, we will let you guys know.
