Currently available only on AT&T, the Samsung
Galaxy S8 Active should soon be released not just by T-Mobile (as recently
reported), but also by Sprint. We're saying this because a render of a
Sprint-bound Galaxy S8 Active was revealed today on Twitter by Evan Blass (aka
@evleaks).
Sprint may plan to start selling the S8 Active on
November 17, as this is the date that's seen on the smartphone's home screen
(for a closer look, zoom in on the image embedded on the left). However, for
now, there's no confirmation on this.
Most likely, Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S8 Active will
offer the same features that the AT&T version has, including a Snapdragon
835 processor, fingerprint scanner, a 5.8-inch flat display with 1440 x 2960
pixels, and a very capable 12 MP rear camera. Plus, of course, the phone should
be water-resistant and drop-resistant (from up to 5 feet).
Like AT&T, Sprint will probably sell the Galaxy
S8 Active for around US$ 800. In case you're wondering, this won't be Sprint's
first high-end rugged phone from Samsung, as the carrier also had a Galaxy S5
Sport some years back.
