Samsung may launch additional Galaxy S5 versions this year including a more rugged model
just like it did last year with the Galaxy S4. A Galaxy S5 Active will apparently be available from various U.S. carriers including AT&T and Sprint has learned。 revealing that the model number for the handset is SM-G870x.
Although considering Samsung has positioned the S5 already as quite rugged it's unclear how exactly it might differentiate an actual Active version.
The SM-G870 has appeared in early March in a shipping manifest on Indian import site Zauba, with SamMobile speculating at the time that the phone may be a Galaxy S5 mini version. Meanwhile, previous reports hinted that a Galaxy S5 Active model may be in the making. The regular Galaxy S5 model does come with water and dust resistance
Previous speculation has surmised that the Galaxy S5 Active, as well as a Galaxy S5 Zoom to mirror the Galaxy S4 Zoom, will be released in 2014.
That tidbit came from a Korean site that claimed to have spoken with sources in the know, but Samsung has yet to chime in with a "yes," "no" or "maybe."
According to the same report, Samsung is hoping that S5 Active sales will ultimately account for 20% or 30% of total global S5 sales.
That would be a huge jump from the 4% of global Galaxy S4 sales that the S4 Active reportedly accounted for, so maybe Samsung has more up its sleeves than simply a more rugged version of the S5.
However, the leaker has not provided other details about the handset, and it’s not clear how much the device will cost, or when it will be released.
Samsung is also expected to launch two other Galaxy S5 models this year, including a smaller Galaxy S5 mini and a Galaxy S5 Zoom handset with more advanced camera features. However right now, Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy S5 flagship in various markets, and is yet to confirm any of these additional Galaxy S5 family members.
The company has recently quashed rumors that a high-end Galaxy S5 Prime model was in the works, a handset version that was prominently featured in reports preceding the Galaxy S5 announcement, and which was expected to offer a metal body and 2K resolution display.
