Samsung may have accidentaly revealed a new smartphone, and it looks like a descendent of the ruggedized Galaxy S6 Active.
Spotted by SamMobile, the Galaxy S7 Active appears in a list of supported devices for the Samsung Level app on the Google Play Store. The company's Active series was first introduced in 2013 as a waterproof, shockproof counterpart to the then flagship Galaxy S4.
What's strange is that Samsung has already included IP68 water and dust resistance, leaving the possible S7 Active with only a ruggedized casing to claim as a unique sell point, aside from the Active series' improved battery over the standard line. There's no other real evidence there will even be a Galaxy S7 Active, and Samsung has so far not confirmed any such device, so don't hold your breath just yet.
