Samsung has already released a couple of new smartphones in the Galaxy S series this year, and that includes the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. The Korean company is speculated to expand the Galaxy S6 series with the launch of the Galaxy S6 Active soon.
Rumors of the Galaxy S6 Active for AT&T have been circling the smartphone industry for quite some time and famous leakster @evleaks has posted an image of the smartphone on Twitter, which may be revealed soon.
The latest leaked image shows the Galaxy S6 Active in black with a rugged look. The back of the handset in the latest leaked image does not have the camouflage color pattern seen in the previous leaked image posted by @evleaks on Twitter in mid-May.

At the time, GSMArena also reported that a tipster sent them a couple of images (front and back) of the unannounced Galaxy S6 Active. The smartphone in the image was very similar to the images leaked by @evleaks.
The GSMArena report also highlights how, unlike the Galaxy S6, which has a 2,550 mAh battery, the Galaxy S6 Active will include a bigger battery of 3,500 mAh.
The leaked images suggest that the Galaxy S6 Active will have a different external appearance compared to the original Galaxy S6.
The Galaxy S6 sports a 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display that has 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution and 577 ppi. It is equipped with a 16MP primary camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. Rumors suggest that apart from the battery and minor tweaks, the Galaxy S6 Active will include the same hardware found in the Galaxy S6.
It should not come as a surprise that Samsung is speculated to launch the Galaxy S6 Active only for AT&T. This will not be the first time that Samsung will launch a rugged version of the Galaxy S series smartphone dubbed Active for the carrier. In the past, Samsung made the Galaxy S4 Active and the Galaxy S5 Active available only on AT&T.
Moreover, both the Galaxy S4 Active and Galaxy S5 Active were launched in the month of June, which means that the Galaxy S6 Active may be revealed by AT&T and Samsung sooner than later.
