It isn’t like we all didn’t know that Samsung and AT&T were close to bringing us the Galaxy S6 Active. After numerous rumors and leaked renders, we now have the official announcement rolling out of AT&T directly.
Starting June 12th users will be able to pick up the new Samsung Galaxy S6 Active on AT&T in the usual payment options. Those who wish to grab it on the NEXT 24, you will be looking at spending $23.17 per month for 30 months. NEXT 18 will run you $28.96 for 24 months and NEXT 12 will run you $34.75 per month for 20 months.
The S6 Active carries all the same great features, functions and hardware of the current Galaxy S6 like the Exynos 8-core processor, 3GB of RAM and 16MP camera. However, the size of the device was increased for the external shell that wraps around it to give it the IPX68 water and dust resistant rating. The rating gives the Galaxy S6 Active the ability to be submerged in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes safely which beats out the Galaxy S5 Active which was 1 meter for 30 minutes. Making the device slightly larger, they were also able to stick a larger battery inside, bumping it to a 3,500 mAh battery. They also added in a few bits of software they call Active Zone, which gives you quick access to a compass, flashlight, stop watch and more.
The press release on the AT&T website only lists the device as coming in a 32GB configuration and with the lack of a SD card slot, could turn a few people away who are a bit more storage demanding with active lifestyles.
Anyone going to be holding out until June 12th to pick up a Galaxy S6 Active?
