Samsung Galaxy S4 on steroids: rugged version on the cards?

Samsung Galaxy S4 on steroids: rugged version on the cards?

How much do you bench(mark)?

The Samsung Galaxy S4 hasn't even hit stores yet, but word's out that the Korean manufacturer is already working on a meaner, tougher version of its latest flagship handset.

According to TechView, Young Soo Kim, president of Samsung Gulf has confirmed that it's working on a rugged version of the Galaxy S4.

Apparently this gym-jock variant will offer water- and dust-proof smarts, which will see it match the likes of the Sony Xperia Z.

Ready to tough it out

Kim said that the rugged Samsung Galaxy S4 should be announced in the coming weeks, which means we may not have long to wait to find out more.

We've already put the Galaxy S4 through our in-depth review process with our phones and tablets editor Gareth Beavis dubbing it "a stunning smartphone that won't let you down". High praise indeed.

There's always a chance that the rumoured handset won't ever make it to market - assuming that it does indeed exist - and we reckon Samsung works on lots of projects behind closed doors. We're just going to have to wait and see.
