The images depict pretty much what we’d expect the GS5 Active to look like, including the exposed screws, physical navigation buttons made of metal, all the ‘activeness’ that we saw in last year’s model. It looks like a Galaxy S5 with physical buttons inside an ugly, metal bumper.

@evleaks has provided a full gallery of photos, showing the GS5 Active with out its battery cover, revealing the unsurprising similarities to that of the original. Users will get a removeable battery, as well as a micro SD card slot for storage expansion. 

Outside of the heavy duty body frame, we can also expect the Active to share similar dust water-resistance found on the flagship Galaxy S5, but possibly at a higher IRating, which would be impressive. 

Other then the physical differences in hardware, the smartphone should share the same software as the original Galaxy S5, including the new improved version of Touchz the million other software features Samsung loves to throw in its phones.
