Thanks to good demand for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, we've seen the subsequent release of the Galaxy S7 here in Malaysia. However, we've never seen the rugged Samsung Galaxy S Active phones arrive here, but despite that you can see how tough the Galaxy S7 Active is in the drop test video below with the Galaxy S7 done by the guys at PhoneBuff. Suffice to say, it is tougher than it looks but do check it out for yourself.

After being teased online, the rugged version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 series is now on sale...in the US by AT&T. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is in essence the Samsung Galaxy S7, with a tough exterior that can withstand the elements without any complaints.  

If you think your Samsung Galaxy S7 is too fragile for you, but you still want the features and functions of the flagship device from Samsung – you are in luck. The next rugged model from the Korean company is slated to be announced soon, and we have the specs for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active here.

While the new Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge are rated with a high level of water and dust resistance, there are some who wants a little bit more protection against rugged usage. That is where the Active series comes in, and according to reports online, a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is on its way. 

While the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are both water and dust resistant, even to the point of surviving being frozen, neither of them are shock resistant. This is mostly due to the glass front and back on both phones but leaks have seemingly confirmed that Samsung are making a rugged military grade (shock resistant) Galaxy S7 Active smartphone. No news on tech specs, Malaysia release date or pricing details but we don't expect the Galaxy S7 Active to arrive in Malaysia anytime soon, considering that Samsung Malaysia only brought in the Galaxy S7 edge.
