Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Active may be released in November

The latest tip to surface about the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 involves an Active version of the smartphone that among other changes, will come with a beefier 4,100 mAh battery. Although the new Galaxy Note 5 comes with a 3,000 mAh battery that has been found to provide plenty of usage thanks to Samsung’s optimizations, there has been some criticism about why Samsung did not bump up the size. Packing in a 4,100 mAh in this new version of the stylus-equipped smartphone might help address some of those concerns.

Along with a larger battery, the Galaxy Note 5 Active will come with IP68 certification for water resistance. Sources have not indicated whether Samsung will do anything to help prevent the glass screen from shattering when the device is dropped or otherwise improving durability. However, some additional resistance to damage would be consistent with Samsung’s recent move to release an Active version of the Galaxy S6.

Sources indicate the Galaxy Note 5 Active is slated to be released the week of November 8th, although it is not clear what pricing, markets, or carrier availability may be like.
