Samsung Galaxy S4 Active press render leaked

Notorious for several handset leaks in the past, @evleaks has now revealed official press renders of the ruggedised version of Samsung's flagship handset. The images confirm that the previous leaks were genuine however the new render offers a glimpse of the Black and Grey coloured variant of the phone. Previously, the Red and Black coloured variant had appeared online.

The phone is enclosed in what appears to be a Black and Grey metal shell with four bolts at the back. The Grey back appears to sport a faux brushed metal finish and has a camera, LED flash, AT&T logo and the Galaxy S4 Active branding. The front is pretty similar to that of the Galaxy S4 except that the phone has three hardware buttons instead of just one. The render also offers a glimpse of the sides with the right side sporting the Power button and the left featuring the volume rocker.

The images first appeared on TheUnLockr, which also mentions that the phone will have an 8-megapixel camera and will be sold under model number SGH-I537, in dark Grey and Teal colours. The screen on the phone shows the date as June 21, which is a day after Samsung's Premiere event where it will unveil new Galaxy and Ativ devices.
