AT&T priced the Galaxy S6 Active with $199 on a two year contract, Business Insider reported. For those looking for monthly payments, the carrier's Next plans are as follows: Next 24 worth $23.17 at 30 payments, Next 18 worth $28.96 at 24 payments, and the Next 12 for $34.75 at 20 payments.

Business Insider pointed out that the smartphone's announcement didn't come off as a surprise that much, given that Samsung accidentally posted the user manual for the device last week on the tech giant's US mobile website. It was taken down immediately, but 9to5Google managed to save a screenshot of the file.
