Two new leaks regarding Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy Note 7 have surfaced.

The phone-tablet hybrid is expected to be officially announced on Aug. 2, but numerous leaks have been discovered in the last few months.

One of these more recent leak confirmed that the Galaxy Note 7 will be waterproof, according to website GSMarena.

The leak was found on Zauba, an Indian import and export data website, on July 8. This would make the Note 7 the first phablet in the series to actually be waterproof.

Along with the waterproof specifications, a leaked picture of the phone also surfaced on the internet — confirming the design and aesthetics of Samsung’s newest offering.

The image was leaked on Weibo by a user named Wuxian Shen, who posted earlier this year about a Galaxy S7 Edge device, GSMarena reports.

Another image was leaked onto Weibo by user Old Lai, whose original post was taken down. It showed the Galaxy Note 7 being offered in four different colors, including black, silver, blue and pink.

Of course, whether or not these colors will be available at launch is still unconfirmed.

The Galaxy Note 7 is one of the more hotly anticipated devices of this year. Numerous specifications have been leaked by reputable sources, fueling rampant rumor and speculation about the phone’s design and internals.

Those rumored specifications and features include an iris scanner — which the phone is expected to have — that could be used as a replacement for a traditional fingerprint scanner.

The Note 7 is expected to be announced by Samsung on Aug. 2, and would likely be available soon after.
