Samsung Galaxy S4 Active gains a J and new processor in rugged makeover

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active gains a J and new processor in rugged makeover
Galaxy S4 gets Active

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active has made another appearance online, this time in a benchmark result which claims to reveal a new processor and slightly altered named.

According to details which have appeared on GFXBench the rugged handset in question could well be known as the Samsung Galaxy S4 J Active, although that seems like more of a development moniker than something the Korean firm would actually market.

In terms of specs the benchmark result apparently reveals a couple of details including a 1.9GHz Snapdragon S4 Plus quad-core processor - which is different to the Snapdragon 600 clocked at the same speed in the Galaxy S4.

Global appeal

The water- and dust-proof handset will also come running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, with model SGH-I537 said to be destined for the US, while GT-I9295 will pop up in Europe.

You can still expect to see a full HD display on the S4 J Active, although we wouldn't be surprised to see a thicker slab of glass laid over the top to provide extra protection.
