There’s not a lot we don’t already know about the Galaxy S5 Active thanks to recent leaks, but the new device has today been made official and available to order by AT&T. It’s essentially an original Galaxy S5 packed into a more robust form factor — but it does boast a couple of new features that its flagship sibling doesn’t offer.

Samsung will unveil its next-generation Galaxy Note on September 3, just days before IFA 2014 kicks off in Berlin, according to sources familiar with the South Korean company’s plans. Invitations are expected to go out in late August, and it’s an event phablet fans will want to keep a close eye on.

Last year’s Galaxy S4 Active was marketed by Samsung as a waterproof version of the original Galaxy S4 — but there were a number of subtle differences between the two internally. Buying the Active meant you had to settle for a lesser camera — 8-megapixels versus 13-megapixels — and a TFT display over a Super AMOLED one.

There are going to be some hardware differences between these variants this time around as well, it seems — but for 2014, the Galaxy S5 Active has the advantage over the original Galaxy S5. In addition to a barometer, the device has a customizable “Active Key” and what appears to be optical image stabilization.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5 Active, a super strong version of the flagship Galaxy S5, has made its way out into the wild ahead of its official unveiling. No, we don’t have blurry photos or questionable press renders — but we do have a couple of clear, high-quality videos of the handset being used.

Samsung has already announced a number of new phones and tablets for 2014, but the South Korean has lots more up its sleeve. This year’s lineup also includes a Galaxy S5 Prime, a new Galaxy Gear, a second-generation Galaxy Mega, and more — according to ever-reliable tipster @Evleaks.
