Last year, Samsung started making several variants of its flagship model by announcing the Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Mini and Galaxy S4 Zoom. This year too, Samsung is said to follow the same pattern and it has already made the Galaxy K Zoom official. However, the Galaxy S5 Active presumably the rugged variant has no purpose as the Galaxy S5 itself comes with an IP67 certification that makes it water proof and dust resistant. However, it appears like Samsung is not going to pull back the rugged variant.

Samsung believes in making the most out of its flagship name. It usually launches a slew of devices with its flagship. It launched S4 Mini, S4 Zoom and S4 Active after launching the Galaxy S4. Now after launching the Galaxy S5, it is planning on launching a slew of devices based on it. Samsung intends on launching a Galaxy S5 Active later this year which is surprising since S5 is already IP67 certified.
