While a number of leaks have been suggesting that Samsung is working on its Galaxy S6 Active, now Samsung itself has confirmed that it is soon going to launch the phone in the markets. The Galaxy S6 Active accidentally appeared on company’s support page listing. The page however, has now been taken down. We can thus, expect announcement for the device in the coming days.

New specs details are in line with the previous leaks except that it will pack a 2550mAh battery instead of 3500mAh battery as rumored before. Also, it is likely to arrive only in one storage variant-32GB as compared to three variants- 32/64/128GB of original Galaxy S6.
