The company had previously launched the Active version of its earlier flagships as well. Much like its previous generations, the Galaxy S9 Active will also be a more durable and rugged variant of the Galaxy S9 series.
The company’s latest flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ were announced ahead of MWC this year. After the launch, the Galaxy S9 Mini was spotted online and now a new report from Ready Tricks suggests that the South Korean giant is also looking to unveil the Galaxy S9 Active in the coming weeks. As per the report, the new smartphone with model number SM-G893 could be launched in the second half of 2018.
