At a press conference today Samsung Gulf unveiled the Galaxy S4 and we have already covered that here. But during the QnA session, Young Soo Kim - President Samsung Gulf – said that a ruggedized Samsung S4 which would be water proof and dust proof is in the works and will be announced in the coming weeks. This was in response to a question that asked why Samsung hadn’t make a waterproof device.
This is interesting because this is the first we’re hearing about the existence of such a device and it hasn’t been mentioned anywhere else in the tech space. More importantly, there wasn’t a ruggedized S3 either so this will turn out to be an interesting approach. We’ll keep you posted as and when we hear more about this.
