Officially dubbed as Samsung I9295 Galaxy S4 Active, the device features a quad-core processor of 1.9GHz that comes with a GPU of Adreno 320. This means it has a chipset of Snapdragon 600. While the screen size (5.0 inch) and resolution (1080p) are said to be similar with the Galaxy S4’s, it’s not clear whether it belongs to the Super AMOLED variety or not. Moreover, the device is said to have a pixel density of 480ppi.

Camera buffs would also be glad to know that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active has a rear camera of 8MP built-in which is a downgrade version of the Galaxy S4’s 13MP shutter. It’s covered with a metallic cache and laid with bolts on the rear. You can also find three hardware buttons embedded beneath the screen.

There’s no information yet on the phone’s pricing, partner carrier, and exact date of release. The device has been recently flaunted in Croatia which could mean that a formal announcement may be given real soon.

There was a little confusion earlier when a European website mentioned that GT 6 will be released on both the PS3 and the PS4, raising the expectations of gamers that the new racing game will be a cross-platform release. However, Sony top brass Michael Denny clarified that Gran Turismo 6 will be released on the PS3 and not on the company’s next-gen console.
