Leaked photos and answers from a person holding the unreleased phone tell us most of what we wanted to know.
If you wondering about the details surrounding the , buckle in because here's most everything you could want to know about it. A user in the has an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Active and posted some photos and answered some questions, only to go back and delete much of the information. ( was able to snag most of the photos beforehand).
Once something is posted to the internet, you can never erase it. Here's a gallery of Galaxy S8 Active photos and a excerpt from a Q&A series of posts:
The poster continues for a few more posts and tells us that the phone has a 4,000mAh battery and all the buttons and various ports and holes in the case are in an identical spot to the Galaxy S8+. Unfortunately(?) the lack of physical/capacitive front buttons has is confirmed by these photos.
We knew the Galaxy S8 Active was coming eventually, and the phone in this leak holds no surprises. Expect a phone with identical specs to the Galaxy S8, with a flat screen and a more rugged case. Which, frankly, sounds perfect.

- How did you get the S8 Active? I'm guessing it's for AT&T only?
- Connection with Samsung. Poster goes on to confirm his unit is SIM-locked to AT&T
- Does it scratch easily? Does screen have plastic layer on top?
- No it doesn't scratch easily. No plastic layer.
- Is the active button still there or is it replaced with Bixby? Is the Active/Bixby button customizable for shortcuts?
- only bixby button. 6 no customization
- What are the materials made of? (Metal bezels, rubberized plastic back?)
- Metal frame, bumpers feel like metal polymer mkx that's screwed into the sides. Middle of back feels like last year's.
- How thick is it compared to regular S8?
- it's about 1.5x thick at the normal s8.
- How slim are the bezels?
- The bezels aren't thin at all. I'll post a pic.
- Is the display 100% flat, meaning easier to install screen protector? (None of that 2.5d glass curve?)
- Yes screen is completely flat.
- Price?
- No answer given.
- Any underwater camera features?
- No underwater mode that I can see, it's the exact same camera software as on my s8+.
