Extreme sports enthusiasts may want to hold off from purchasing the latest flagship smartphone of Samsung after leaked images of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active emerged recently over the net. This particular model of the smartphone is basically a rugged version of the recently released Galaxy S4.

Earlier reports revealed that the upcoming model will be resistant to water and dust. This is good news for lovers of extreme sports since they can tweet while they run the rapids without having to worry about their smartphone. The leaked images of the upcoming smartphone were acquired by GSMArena.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active will feature a 1.9 GHz quad-core ARM processor, screen display resolution of 1920 by 1080, and an Adreno GPU. Although reports have also indicated that the rear camera of the upcoming smartphone will have a lower resolution, it is still adequate enough for any smartphone camera buff. The upcoming smartphone will have an eight megapixel rear-facing camera, which is lower than the thirteen megapixel camera of the standard Galaxy S4.

The rugged version of the flagship smartphone will also have a metallic shell, which contrasts the fondness of the South Korean manufacturer for hard plastic.

The upcoming device was reportedly showcased in Croatia although its release into the market remains uncertain for the moment. Industry watchers cannot wait for the availability of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active in the market and put it on a number of tests.

A rugged Samsung Galaxy S4 will supposedly be released by the South Korean manufacturer, and it will reportedly be dubbed as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, according to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal. If this is true, it will be a god-send for outdoor enthusiasts who think twice of bringing their smartphones whenever they commune with nature.

The report also indicated that this model of the latest flagship smartphone of Samsung will be introduced by Samsung in July. The reported device will supposedly be dustproof and waterproof but will have the same appearance as the current model of the smartphone.

Although the supposed Samsung Galaxy S4 Active may be a blessing for outdoor enthusiasts, it may likely be promoted for use among government or corporate clients. It will also be useful for workers out in the field.

The report of the rugged Samsung Galaxy S4 Active follows the introduction of the seven-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. The display of the upcoming tablet will have a resolution of 1024 x 600, and it will run on the Jelly Bean Android 4.1 OS. It will also feature a 3MP camera at the back and 1.3MP camera in front. The South Korean company will release the Wi-Fi version of the device by May and the 3G variant will be available by June.

On the other hand, supply issues have compelled the postponement of the release of the Samsung Galaxy S4 of T-Mobile and Sprint. However, Sprint revealed that the supply of the smartphone is starting to arrive to the sales channels of the mobile service provider.

With the upcoming release of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and the report of a possible Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, it appears that the South Korean company is aiming to cover a good part of the mobile device market around the world.
