Samsung Galaxy S4 Active with Snapdragon 800 in the works

Word out of Korea is that a Snapdragon 800 version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is in the works for release in the Korean market next month.

The delayed release of the updated version is due to Samsung not wanting to interfere with sales of the recently-announced Galaxy Note 3.

This comes after several benchmarks of the same Snapdragon 800-powered Galaxy S4 Active showed up in the online database of the GFXBench benchmarking app. There, it showed some impressive scores, particularly over the current version of the S4 Active running on Snapdragon 600.

It looks like the Snapdragon 800-powered S4 Active will be released in South Korea only for nowr, but we're hopeful that strong sales will lead to an international release as well.
