Galaxy S9 Active Release Date

Agreed, where did you hear that....I've asked a few bloggers at Samsungs event to check on Actives....the S7 Active was randomly "there" in 2016 with no formal announcement.

Sorry, just didn't see anything from the unpacked event, as I was told by a samsung support agent to watch there for release news and I didn't hear anything about it. I did just chat with another samsung support person and was told this: "S9 active is not yet officially declared to be released but our manufacturing team is still working on it. You can view the updates on Samsung website when it is planned to be released." But as they did not disclose the release confirmation yet, I request you to please wait for the official confirmation.

I pinged someone from Engadget (Cherlynn Low) and she's going to check and see.

Feel free to reply to her tweet to show interest.

The s7 active was released on june 10th 2016...  The note 7 was unpacked on 8/2/2016 and sold to the public on 8/19/2016

No one at the Samsung event knows anything about the Active series. She's going to try and track down someone from AT&T...who will probably give the same response. sigh.

The phone is no longer ATT exclusive so ATT may have no clue... Remember you can get the s8 active on sprint and tmo also.

As I see it... I have no idea why people buy the 'regular' ones and not the Active.
