New info on the the Samsung Galaxy S7 active - code name Poseidon suggested
If you have been keeping a close eye on the
news section lately then you might remember the mysterious SM-G891A, that was
spotted in a package heading towards AT&T a couple of days ago. The scoop
was originally picked up by Evan Blass (@evleaks), along with a quite
justifiable assumption that the device currently undergoing testing at the
carrier is actually an upcoming Galaxy S7 active.
Today, the plot thickens even further, as the
reputable leakster has apparently sank his teeth even further into the issue,
uncovering that the SM-G891A is actually codenamed Samsung Poseidon. This is
yet another clear indicator of the "active" nature of the handset in
question. And, considering the already stated model number similarity with the
S6 active - SM-G890A, all signs suggest an S7 active is incoming shortly.

Again, even with the new available information,
the whole story still begs the question as to what exactly the S7 active will
offer on top of the Galaxy S7's already impressive feature set. A bigger
battery seems likely and the codename would point to salt-water resistance, but
with the basic lineup now offering both waterproofing and a microSD card slot,
it will be interesting to see whether the Galaxy S7 active provides quite as
big of an upgrade incentive as the Galaxy S6 active did last year.
