Leaked render shows a rugged, battle-ready Samsung Galaxy S7 Active

UPDATE: Keeping an eye out for Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Active? Well, here’s the best look to date in the form of a render leaked by Evan Blass (@evleaks).

It matches the earlier leaked photos (see below) top to bottom aside from colour scheme, which is… a bit odd. Blass identifies it as gold but opts to call it “desert camo” instead, and we’d say it’s more beige than we usually like in a gadget. But if you want something rugged that matches your khakis, then this could do the trick. Still no word on a release date or pricing for the likely AT&T exclusive in the States.

ORIGINAL STORY (06/05/16): Last year’s Galaxy S6 Active toughened up Samsung’s overhauled smartphone, making it ideal for the outdoors and other physically demanding usage. And this year’s model might take it a step further, if leaks are any indication.
