It sounds like the Galaxy S8 Active is going to be a seriously powerful and rugged handset, and we just learned some more details about the phone thanks to a Samsung training manual on the device obtained by Android Police.
As detailed as the manual is, it doesn't include much in the way of new details that we haven't heard before: the phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor and 4GB of RAM, and is going to be sporting a 5.8" Super AMOLED screen running at a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels.
The manual does suggest the phone is going to come with Android 7.0 Nougat on board, rather than the 7.1 version that's been knocking around on Nexus and Pixel devices since the end of last year - a slight disappoint in an otherwise impressive specs list.
As we'd previously heard, the Galaxy S8 Active is not only IP68 certified like the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, it's also built to the MIL-STD-810G US military standard, so it can take much tougher treatment than your average smartphone.
Bixby is going to be on board, apparently, and like the phones that preceded it, the S8 Active will have a dedicated Bixby button below the volume rocker. According to the manual, fast charging and wireless charging are going to be supported.
What we still don't know is when the Galaxy Active S8 is going to appear - its predecessor tipped up in June 2016, already more than a year ago, suggesting we won't have long to wait. The Active S7 was US-only too, which may well again be the case this time around.

For many people their smartphone is essential for their work - so if you're looking for the very best smartphones for business use, then you've come to the right place, as we've listed the top business smartphones - which are also excellent mobile phones in their own right when you're using them for personal use as well.
Not so long ago there was only one smartphone firm on the lips of any business IT team when it came to company smartphones: BlackBerry, the Canadian company formerly known as Research in Motion (RIM).
A lot has changed since then and BlackBerry's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse, leaving the door open for rivals to court the enterprise business, and forcing the phone maker to embrace (or some might say begrudgingly adopt) Android at the core of its new flagship handsets.
The rest of the pack is hot on its heels, if not already overtaking, with Apple, Samsung, OnePlus and others all vying for a piece of the lucrative business smartphone pie.
This is great for any potential business buyer, as you now have a wide choice of mobile smartphones to choose from, allowing you to select the best handsets for your company's requirements, regardless of its size. However, this can also make choosing the right smartphone more difficult, which is why we've put together this list of the very best business smartphones - along with the best deals to get these phones for excellent prices.
In no particular order, here are the top smartphone picks for business use and business users.
You'll be in good hands if you opt to give your employees the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, TechRadar's current 'best phone in the world'.
It packs in supreme power, a dazzling QHD Super AMOLED display and a top notch camera - but it's not all fun.
The Galaxy S7 Edge also comes with Samsung's Knox security, which the firm says is just as secure - if not more - as BlackBerry's DTEK50 and Priv devices. You'll need deep pockets, but you won't regret it.

The OnePlus 5 is an affordable flagship handset, and offers one of the best Android phone experiences on the market, especially when using it for work.
It features a 1080p 5.5-inch AMOLED display on the front, and inside is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. You have the choice of either 6GB or 8GB of RAM depending on your needs - for most people 6GB will be more than enough. The battery life could be better, so make sure you have easy access to a charger if your work depends on you always being connected.
There's still no microSD support on the OnePlus 5, much like previous OnePlus phones, but you do have the choice of either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage.
The true highlight of the OnePlus 5 is the price, though, and this may will be one of the best devices for you on this list if you're looking to spend as little as possible on a top-of-the-range phone for your business needs.

This smartphone – and its 950 XL sibling – represent the best-of-breed devices when it comes to Windows 10 Mobile, Microsoft's latest mobile operating system, one which promises, for the first time ever, a seamless user experience, across applications and across displays.
You get 3GB of RAM, 32GB on-board storage, a 2K display, a 20-megapixel rear camera and a free one-year subscription to Office 365 Personal. Connect this handset to the Microsoft HD-500, an £80 Display Dock, and it transforms into a powerful desktop PC as well, great in an enterprise configuration.

When the Priv launched, it took a lot of analysts by surprised because of radical step involving the OS. BlackBerry had finally decided to embrace Android and re-introduce the keyboard (albeit a slide out one) on a flagship handset.
It is, as TechRadar's John McCann candidly puts it, the mullet of the smartphone world. "It's still business in the front, but now there's a party in the back too. It will divide opinion, but this is the best BlackBerry in years," he added.
The device will appeal to those who wants the security halo associated with BlackBerry with the ubiquity of Google's Android. Overall, it remains a stunning piece of kit, and probably one bound to become a classic.

Apple's iPhones are always popular options with great build quality, a simple user interface and a wealth of quality business apps at your fingertips.
The iPhone 7 is the latest offering from Apple, and it's faster, smarter and boasts a water resistant body for the first time.
If your firm is currently rocking iPhone 6S and 6S Plus handsets there's no need to upgrade, but for those using older devices - especially the 5 variants and below the iPhone 7 offers a far superior experience.

There are still BlackBerry fans out there and the Canadian company unveiled the Classic to please them all. An old-school QWERTY keyboard, a familiar operating system and user interface, a design that doesn't age and the enterprise-grade security are all on the feature list of this smartphone.
Sure, Android might well have the upper hand when it comes to market share and the sheer number of applications but BlackBerry provides with yet another attractive alternative when it comes to business smartphones.
It runs BlackBerry OS 10 with a square 720x720 pixel touchscreen display, a touchpad and up to 22-hour battery power.

If you fancy trying something a bit different check out Chinese start-up OnePlus, which has been producing flagship smartphones at almost half the price for the past three years.
Its current offering can be found higher up this list, but the older OnePlus 3 is still a fantastic handset, especially as it now has an all-time low price tag which won't get you in trouble with finance.
You'll have to purchase the handsets outright, as networks don't currently offer it on contract, but if you can stump up the cash initially you could save yourself money in the long run.

The BlackBerry DTEK50 is a surprisingly promising smartphone with a more than reasonable price tag and a spec sheet to be proud of.
It's not going to wow you with design, flagship features or super slick performance, but what you do get is a phone which fully encrypts all your data, makes it easy for you to monitor your privacy and ensures everything is secure.
It's an ideal fleet handset to dish out in numbers without breaking the bank.

The wait is almost over for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and even though most of the details of the handset have already leaked out into the public domain, we're still getting a steady trickle of info about what we can expect to see on August 23.
Dutch site Galaxy Club has been doing some digging on Samsung's semiconductor website and thinks it's found the camera module that the upcoming phone is going to be using - one that includes advanced features like a 3x optical zoom and an improved HDR mode.
As Samsung hasn't officially said anything about the camera appearing in the Note 8 we can't be sure about this for the time being, but we've heard similar rumors before, and it does now look likely that the Note 8 is going to be rocking Samsung's best smartphone camera yet.
Galaxy Club does a pretty comprehensive rundown of the features it thinks the Note 8 camera is going to offer. As well as the 3x optical zoom, there's also mention of a Refocus mode that can automatically sense the depth in an image.
Thanks to this special 3D depth-sensing technology, apparently, you'll be able to blur particular parts of an image and even change the perspective, adjusting objects in the frame as if you were snapping them from another angle. Low-light performance is said to be improved as well with a special Super Night Shot mode.
Don't bet the house just yet on all of these features showing up in the Galaxy Note 8, but given all the other leaks we've seen about the Note 8's camera upgrades, the handset should be capable of some seriously cool photography tricks.
