Uncovered by XDA developers, given below is a list of codenames and the devices that are going to be unveiled later this year. Out of the several devices, the Galaxy S9 Active is one that features the codename ‘astarqlte’ so it comes as no surprise that we’ll be seeing yet another rugged player for those that need the extra protection.

The letter ‘a’ in the codename ‘astarqlte’ is a reference to the ‘Active’ model while ‘q’ is a reference to a Qualcomm Snapdragon-based device. At this point, there do not have to be any speculations in mind because the Galaxy S9 Active will feature a Snapdragon 845.

The Galaxy S9 Active could potentially come with a much larger battery capacity but its aspect ratio is probably going to be less than 18.5:9 so that the rubberized exterior can easily be incorporated into the phone. Are you excited for this unveiling? Tell us down in the comments.
