No problems with this Samsung Galaxy S6 Active phone since I purchased it a few years back! HOWEVER~ The phone locked up at the end of August. I sent it back to Samsung for repairs and today, I get an email: repairs exceeded $668 US Dollars to fix it. Something about the mother board and the crystal face. It froze up on the black and white screen. I couldn't get it to reboot. It had a color screen show up but would not let me toggle through the menu! For that kind of money, it's time for a new one! I think it's CrAzY what they want to repair it!

This phone was lost on a kayaking trip and spent 13 days at the bottom of a river, was eventually recovered, and found to be in complete working order.

I've had this phone since 2015. True that without a case it's pretty rugged, but with my current SUPCASE and the Supershieldz Tempered Glass Screen Protector. Well, let's just say if someone asked me to throw my phone across the room(which I've done BTW), I'm not worried in the least and it's simply a monster. Unfortunately now, it's showing its age. The hardware can't keep up well with the latest software demands and the battery is starting to lose its charge suddenly. After 4 years of use I suppose I shouldn't complain all that much. Wish Samsung would continue to make the 'Active' variant.

Run over by a forklift??? You expect "smart" phone users to believe that

I purchased an s6 active in 2015. I have taken videos under water while snorkeling. I have dropped it while stand, on several occasions,, and it works perfectly. I even ran my active over with a forklift, and the phone still worked as the screen slowly blacked out. After having it repaired I am still satisfied with its endurance and performance. Why does Smsung not continue with same durability on the newer active phones?

Keyboard default did not work. Phone suddenly became locked when loading smartwatch software. Fell out pocket from chair height, cracks started on screen. Cracks continued to become worse until black screen within a week. For robustness score is zero yet it was the primary reason for its purchase. Phone lasted less than 3 months.

Whatever happened to the Loudspeaker test? It is one of the most crucial aspects of performance. It is very odd that GSM Arena has not bothered to publish it. Would it be identical to the vanilla S6? If so, why did they not mention it?

AnonD-745634

Yes you need dowloand the firmware and install Whit odin and then the updates by adb the instruction and link to download are there I upgraded my phone to nougat whiteout problem the only thinks the phone get factory reset you need backup first

It is a great device I love it, but the only things that I don't like are the lack of an SD card slot low, storage options and that they don't receive updates,other than that this is just marvelous!!!

Yes recently the case melted, the port looks burned, and charging cable connector melted on my s6 active.

I have beaten the crap out of this phone, I am naturally clumsy and heavily active. stepped on it slid it across the driveway, dropped it dozens of times - on tile, concrete, glass on rocks and onto the dirt into puddles and mud. I sometimes take showers with it and my blue ant pump waterproof headset - love it! I only have two complaints one is software based- updating past lollipop breaks the malis graphics drivers for the dolphin emulator. since it is an unrootable phone you cant undo the rom update- boo hoo right? and the other is the Bluetooth itself, it works great but when its in my pocket and say I'm using my chainsaw and I'm moving around I lose connection, or working in the yard and I kneel (general heavy activity) certain positions obfuscate the signal while in my pocket. now that's not really anyone's problem except Bluetooth itself. other than that this thing is a beast. oh the fact it doubles as my tv remote is nice (built in IR blaster) - was an unexpected treat.

PACMAN

I love this phone, had it almost 2 years. dropped it twice both times the screen protector broke but the phone is unharmed. I also left it on top of my car, had a cheap protector on the body, flung it off the top while driving. one hour later found it, the protector popped off, two tiny scratches on the corners of the phone upper left and lower right. No other damage. Worked perfectly. By far the best phone I have ever owned. I have had to "Motos" and would not have anything but a Samsung. This is a great instrument.

Marius

I made a lot of tests to this phone and I was suprised. but today I dropped it from 1meter and the display is not responding. The bluetooth was activeted and I talk all day like this!!

The plastic below the Back button cracked after 1 and a half years. I was using it naked and never dropped it. Can't be replaced without replacing the screen too, which is unscathed.

Using the S6 Active 1 and a half year already and can say it's the best phone for me personally I ever had. White camo case helping to prevent from overheating with the sun what's important in our hot climate. The phone already has many scratches on the case and corners, fall down on lava rocks, basalts (I do a lot of hiking) once sink in the sea water for 15 min until I found it at the sea bottom, it has really stressful life, but still working quite well. It has just 2 weak points IMHO: 1. Exposed to the sun longer time become a bit crazy. 2. After 18 months of using the battery life is definitely shorter after a full charge, if you have constantly Wi-Fi switched on (if you switch Wi-Fi off, you still have approx 30% of the battery at the end of the day).

Bought it used a year ago and this phone is indescribable and a pleasure to use right size and weight never let me down I'm going to keep it as a backup phone when I upgrade to a s8 this month .

Dave Sontchi

In my opinion. I'd get the LG V10. I just bought a S6, and its ok, but u have to use the same battery. And the LG last longer on the battery. Plus, the memory on the S6 is internal. On the LG u can beef it up to 256g. I got the 32g, and thats cool, but if u want more on the S6. Ur stuck out. On the LG if u want more, get a bigger SD card. Wish i'd have known before i got the S6. Plus, the S6 is 5.1 on the screen size. On the LG, 5.7 on this screen.

Would not recommend the S6 Active to anyone. I accidentally dropped it in water and now the phone is unresponsive. I turned it off. Used a blow dryer and waited 48 hrs to turn it on. I have nothing but a pure white screen. Samsung won't do anything about it. Supposedly the S6 is waterproof to 4' 9" for 30 minutes in water. If anyone has one DON'T get it wet whatever you do. You'll be screwed over from there false advertising

Hello 7.0 naught is better 6.0 but 7.0 1 problem WiFi auto disconnected ?

AnonD-672064

Picture quality is great from the 16MP primary camera, acceptable from the 5MP secondary. Video quality is top notch - had a couple of iPhone 7 users comment on how nice the video quality looked. Do wish it had an FM radio chip in it, but hey, it was a gift, so I can't really complain. Site says there isn't one, but NextRadio app says there is, and never have found a definitive answer, so I just assume there isn't. No card slot is a small negative, but the built-in 32GB is more than enough for my usage. Your mileage may vary. Dropped the phone in water for about 15 seconds by accident. The phone popped up a window saying "moisture detected", said to turn off for 24 hours and not to plug in to charge. Did as requested, worked just fine next day. Marshmallow was a big step up from Lollipop; the performance difference was noticeable. Got the update to Nougat about two weeks ago, and no difference (so far) in performance. At least they defaulted to having mobile hotspot in the pulldown menu finally. The blue light filter, contrary to what others have said, seems to work just fine. Don't like how the new brightness control is set up, though - in Marshmallow, the option for autobrightness was right out front; now, you have to touch the arrow to get it to show up. As expected with a two year old phone, the battery is draining faster than it did before. Never had any issues with charging. Using Waze constantly on trips along with hotspot (so the kids are happy and quiet) does make the back of the phone warm, but I'm not surprised at that. Call quality is great, clear and clean audio all around. Bluetooth pairing of headsets works without a hitch. Overall, very happy with my Active. The phone should easily last another couple of years before I have to consider an upgrade to a newer model.

Still loving this one! really affordable; Sadly is no more convenient anymore Right now there is some models with waaay better specs on the market for a little extra... the agm a8; as example ( the guy below inspired me xD )

Hare the new update with a passion.

I bought this phone as used of AT&T its not refurb from a small outlet...based on the shop keeper confidence e.g. he put the phone under the Jug Full of Water for 10 mins while turning on the camera. Place the call from another phone in the water. I got impressed & bought the phone. Well i was not supposed to do but i did following test on my own risk: Throw the phone to a wall with a normal power. Suddenly made a friend to catch my phone without informing him & throw the phone to him from 15feet distance, he dropped it rolled out on floor. He was shocked but phone was smilingly working :)..i tried this to my various friends. Open the kitchen sink tap with full flow let the water go inside from headphone jack & charging port for a while. Without making it dry i used to test it. Again it was smiling. This set is not only IP68 standard it does carry MIL-STD 810 i.e. Military Standard. Alhamdolillah it is absolutly f9 & each & every function/sensors all are pefectly doing well. Soon going to check it in mud. This is the 1st time i switched to use samsung phone and fall in love with it. Keep inventing such phones Samsung.

I love this phone. I've dropped it several times without a case and no cracks. I've dropped it in water and it still works no problem. You can even take pictures under water. Great phone 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

I live on a farm and once I was riding in my feild and my phone fell out of my pocket. At the time I didn't feel it so it sat there for 2 days under cow dung and rain...AND STILL WORKED. This is a amazing phone and I'll recommend it to anyone clumsy like me.

Grumpy Bear

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6. I was satisfied with the software updates,until the April 15th update. IT IS HORRIBLE!!!! It removed the Picture Frame widget.If you are in the YouTube app,and are casting from you're cell to t.v.,the recent software update removed the option of the bar on mainscreen for pausing,skipping ahead,replaying next episode or movie. It also removed the shading on the keyboard,and notification bar,so that there is a constant glare,and replaced it with a "Blue Light Filter" that is COMPLETELY useless. When you back out of an App,insted of taking you back to the mainscreen,if you have some Apps bundled into an icon,it makes it so you do the whole process in reverse ALL OVER AGAIN!!(Example,go into the icon,go into Googleplay Books,book you want to read.When you're done,back out of your book,back out of Googleplay Books, back out of icon you have Googleplay Books bundled in,then mainscreen) This recent software update is a NIGHTMARE!!!! I hope the next update has VASTLY improved.

I went to a samsung store and asked about it and the guy told me the S6 Active was not available in my country. Is there any way of getting it officially from a store? Plan B: Can anyone tell me a 100% trustable online Smartphone Store that ships to Europe?

Hi could you please tell me , if i get a refurbished how would it be ? I mean that would be my first experience in getting refurbished s6 active what do you recommend

How Lucky you are! Mine fall from 12 inches and display stops working! Then, I bought another one. Broke the display again from 15 inches.

AnonD-444177

Will it have android 7.0 update? How does the phone work after some longer period?

To all complaining

FIRST OF ALL S6 ACTIVE IS A GOOD PHONE. To you all complaining people out there- Get your self a silicon case and a screen protector! Mine fall from 3 meters height and nothing happend, it fell into water couple times and it still works! Updated to marshmallow manually, everything works gloriously since the release, battery durability on idle increased. So for all of you having issues- first of all, ether you have a refurbished one, or you installed update incorrectly. Last note- you can wipe data/cache or make a hard reset could fix your issues.

Unhappy in OHIO

Samsung Galaxy S6 resets turns off at will. Samsung customer care referred me to Sprint repair center, they couldn't fix the problem so they referred me to Samsung at Best Buy who told me Sprint probably broke phone take it back to the Sprint Store you purchased phone the manager may replace it. The manager at Sprint called Samsung Customer Care and told him to send me back to the Best Buy that said they could'take help me. SAMSUNG AND SPRINT SUCK STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THOSE CROOKS AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. NEVER BUY SPRINT OR SAMSUNG PHONE.

AnonD-634786

Same thing happened to my S6Active -- Had it only about 10 months and it suddenly stopped accepting a charge. It went completely dead. I called Samsung. Sent it to Texas for repair. They sent a refurb phone and it was HORRIBLE. It wouldn't charge either. I set it aside for a few days until I could call and return it. When I picked it up and tried again, it charged!. Tried to use it. No success -- it kept freezing up. It would not allow a hard reset. Called Samsung again and they referred me to my carrier- AT&T. AT&T replaced the phone (again) with a second refurbished phone and it seems to be working okay for now. This is my third Samsung phone and the quality continues to decline.

AnonD-634375

Me too. Since mid December, when they pushed and update. Before that never had an issue.

Samsung makes the best phones man I am sorry you feel this way and that this happened to you. Now I have scratch resistant screen. it has fallen abour 7 times and case split open, sometimes face down, I have not even a scratch on the screen. everything works fine. Now Samsung and apple are the industry leaders. So Samsung brand or devices are better than alot of these others like ZTE, or Kyocera and Nokia whatever. Samsung has a Walk in repair facility in Richardson Texas. If you have any issues with their products. However, the usually the LCD screen is one main pricey item the life of a device once it is damaged, you are better off going to the junk yard. Now I did work for samsung, manufacturing their plant in Coppel TX, so if you ask me anything like PCB to screen, I do fix it myself so is not a problem but for lay people I know it is a headache. I wish I could help you but know you are far distant away. so I cant. good luck. I always go for Samsung models, very good software, very good key board, ring tones, durable...

Ben

My Galaxy s6 active lasted less than 1 month, and a 1.5 foot fall onto a rubberized mat. The LCD is cracked, and I've been quoted $350 for that fall. I wish I had time to make Samsung sorry for what they've done to me, but I'm a working man with a family to take care of and have no time to post this on every web-page and review-site on earth. So here this post sits-- when you read it, think of me using a flip phone for the next year and a half (until I can afford the next apple phone) because Samsung doesn't care-- and whatever you do, don't buy Samsung.

AnonD-629297

I've contacted Samsung customer support and been told that ANY damage, outside or inside the unit, will completely void the warranty so they were no help at all. Had I known what I know now when I bought the phone I would have assuredly bought the insurance and I recommend everyone that purchase the S6 Active buy the insurance. This phone is no more durable than any other phone and seems to be even less. Certainly less than an I-Phone, which I've have several of. Another problem is that the cost of the parts are quite expensive. The outer screen, digitizer and LCD are all glued together. If one of them cracks they all crack and the phone is useless. Other phones continue to work when the outer screen cracks but not this one. I had the first LCD crack repaired for a whopping $350! After cracking the outer screen I refuse to pay another $350 so I'm activating an old I-Phone. I will now scorch the earth on the internet regarding this horrible phone. The world needs to know about the poor design and abysmal customer service from Samsung. They say that a happy customer will tell one other person about their good experience and an unhappy one will tell ten about the bad one. I plan on telling thousands.

I had the same issue - 4G LTE connectively caused overheating and high battery usage. I forced it to used "WCDMA" only (3G+) and the problem went away. I almost threw the phone away. Uploads are slower now but the download speed seems to be about the same.

AnonD-570503

Hey did you notice any rust developing on the speaker grill after being in water? I used mine in a sauna and noticed that when the water dries rust form on the speaker grill. Maybe I don't understand chemistry and the rust only comes from hotter temperatures?

AnonD-570503

Which firmware was the update. I am currently running the very first marshmallow one and the only problem I had was the phone kept vibrating while charging causing it to overheat.

Ray

My S6 is 14 days past warranty and it is doing the same thing,charger is hot, phone will not charge, and screen is blank, a piece of junk.

AnonD-619437

Its should be waterproof anthony, I own one phone i think it has a rubber inside or the way its tightly inserted the sim slot.

Racheal

I've have this phone a little over a year now. And despite a few issues I still love it. However, about a month or so after getting this phone I started noticing the charger was overheating a ton, not to mention the phone also. Shortly thereafter after one day the phone had over 40 percent charge and as I was on Facebook the phone completely shut off. I tried charging it and nothing. In a panic I dug out an old phone and started using that(still not able to power back on my s6active even after several attempts to charge it). It remained in my glove box for 2 months. Found it one day and decided to try to power it on and like magic the stupid thing powers on but completely dead. My question is... has anyone else had this issue? I am still using this device as of today without further problems but I cannot use the original charger because of the overheating issue and it makes me wonder if that is linked to the phone shutting off suddenly. Note: At&t basically told me I was out of luck since it was out of warranty and I didn't wanna pay my expensive insurance deductible.

anthony

I have just acquired this phone and hope what you folks posted on this comments/opinion section is true! Just wondering how the water proofing works since the sim slot seems to come off so easily! how does that make it waterproof?

thegermanS6activeuse

hello together, iám happy owner of the S6 Active for 8 month now. The phone is outstanding! Best phone i ever had! Switched from a S5 to it. Samsung typical great manufacturing. Technicaly state of the Art 2nd Q 2015 with a fantastic Samsung manufactured rearcamera (. The Phones package is really tough. Survices a few 1m drops to the floor without any visual scratches or dents. I regulary put it into my trunks when i go swimming. No issues there either. For me the perfect phone!

Um no, Samsung had problems, becuase they released the battery before it was ready. They tried to cut corners. Even so they should have given the ip68 rating to the samsung galaxy s7/note 7 to the s8/note 8.

I've owned this phone since it's release a new it's a great durable phone hands down. I was extremely looking forward to purchasing a GEAR VR but finding out my gs6 active isn't compatible really sucks. I'm most definitely switching to apple because I'm not gonna buy a new phone just to use gear vr. It's been real, it's been fun.

S6 Active VS Droid T

I need you guys help me out which phone is best this samsung S6 active or Motorola Droid Turbo?

drpaul

Samsung Galaxy 6 Active had difficulty connecting to the network just prior to the warranty ending. 10 weeks later difficulty accelerated to warming up and not connecting to cellular. $700 phone is now a paperweight after 13 months of scant to moderate use. Your options are to purchase the insurance with Samsung. Device will cost the purchase price, plus the monthly insurance and a couple of deductibles, AKA $1100-$1250 over 30 months or $42 per month. Risk it and spend $54 per month like me. Samsung rushed their "olympic ad buy" Note device, placed customer safety second to profit and the galaxy they sold me was not a good value. I will pause before becoming their customer again.

AnonD-71406

Samsung it's a joke, as you can see what they did in the past to get famous

EXACTLY the same thing that happened to me, this phone sucks. Except mine also is draining battery like crazy now even when I am doing nothing. I have had it for not even two months and it is wifi only, overeahting like hell, and is just a bad overall phone. I had WAY higher expectations, never buying a Samsung phone again.

This phone is absolutely horrible. I switched to a Samsung after many friends told me how great it is. It was a fantastic phone until it stopped working. I had to reset it everyday... Now I'm certain I will not get another phone from Samsung. With an Apple phone, I never had a ridiculous problem like this.

Sceptical

I don't believe you.

Bahama Papa

I switched from the I phone to Samsung after seeing such good picture quality in a friends Samsung. I am frequently on the seas fishing or diving and thought the Samsung s6 active would be a good choice.......What a piece of shit it really is. From overheating to short battery lifespan to by no means water proof or water resistant for that matter. I just recently returned from a trip to Exuma Bahamas, on the very second day of this trip my Samsung s6 was shot all because of a small bit of water dropping on the gad damn phone as I exited the water and stood over my phone while drying off. No phone, no pics, no contact for the remainder of the trip. A total piece of shit. Stick to cameras and forget phones.

JDubya88

Mine is doing the exact same thing. I loved this phone up until this point. AT&T told me the same thing so I contacted Samsung who basically said oh well you are out of warranty. This was my first Samsung phone but the way they treat their customers is why I'm going back to Apple now. It's pretty bad when you buy a $600+ phone and it basically turns into WiFi only just after a year of use. It's also crazy that with all of the Note 7 battery overheating issues Samsung is having, they aren't jumping at fixing or replacing our S6 Actives that are having the same overheating issues.

First one died within 4 months for no apparent reason; second one just died after about 3 months. Total. Piece. Of. Crap.

The worst phone I have ever had. I have sent it back three times. The speakers are terrible. I get tired of people saying they can't hear me. Samsung gets an "F" for this phone!!!!!

It is truly an amazing phone. With my previous devices, I always had problems with the durability of the device. This device is unbelievable. I was on a canoe about two months ago on the ocean, with my phone in my pocket. Then I accidentally flipped the canoe and was throw out in the pacific ocean. My phone was under water for a good 2-3 minutes, but still functions perfectly. Another time, I put my phone on top of my car to find my keys to the car. I forgot about the phone and started driving with the phone on top of the car. When I took a sharp turn, I heard the a loud noise behind the car so I checked my mirror, and my phone was lying in the middle of a major street. I quickly pulled over to go retrieve my phone, but while running towards my phone, I saw multiple cars run over it. I was expecting the phone is be completely destroyed and non-functional. However, when I picked it up, it functioned perfectly fine. Yeah I have some scrapes and little cracks on my screen, but it functions as good as new. If you are a person who is active or puts your phone is harsh situations, this phone is the absolute best phone to go with. I love my phone. I haven't talked about the functionality of the phone, but I will keep it short because this was a long review. It functions flawlessly. Its camera is clear and incredible.

Pat

I also was burned while keeping my s6 in my pocket at work all day. I thought I had brushed up against some chemicals but my jeans showed no signs of anything like that. The next day confirmed it was the phone, as I was further blistered and it became dark and much more than uncomfortable.

Maeya

I got 2 Galaxy S 6 Actives in April and 1 already broke. It fell off a shelf from 4' up and busted, then I sat on it and the phone just folded. Litteraly. Worst phone. Not rugged and not indestructible at all. Both phone batteries are already shot. Battery lasts about 6-7 hours.

I dropped S6 Active many times when I took selfie photos with my friends. It was dropped on concrete surface from about 1.8 meter but the phone still OK except the corners got denting.

AnonD-573052

The galaxy s6 active doesn't have a back cover and never had a cover for the charging port. Sounds like you have the wrong phone.

Shawn

When charging it will tend to get hot cause of the speed charging which is completely normal cause it is pushing more juice through it at a higher pace, but you can cool it off with the press of a button on the boost app. It will cool your phone down very quick so for me that's not an issue cause if you don't want it to heat up don't speed charge and just use the wireless charging pad and you will be fine.

Shawn

I'm with you and I will say That this has been my best phone yet I've dropped it over and over on the concrete from high levels and still no issue and no cracks. Tested it with submerging it under water and no problems at all, this phone is seriously durable to the max proven twice over and I will say and give kudos to Samsung and can't see what the fuss is with everyone else but no issue with mine.

As someone old enough to have owned a Motorola flip, this is the ONLY phone that has completely broken on me! After taking an 18" fall while crouching down. It's comical. Figured I'd go for the active after running my HTC over with the car after it apparently fell out of my pocket. With only a thin rubber cover it suffer a slightly cracked screen. Luckily I kept it so I can switch out the sim when the galaxy isn't working. One more thing to consider. Due to the back cover popping off at the slightest disturbance and lack of port covers (that reminds me. charge port cover fell off at some point) I wouldn't even think of getting it near water. I'm not sure of improvements for the 7. This is based solely on the durability of the 6s active.

Either I've had terrible luck with Samsung phones or they aren't built well. My first phone lasted a little over a year and had water damage after being dropped into a pool at 3ft for less than 10 seconds. My second phone fell from my pocket and shattered, it only lasted 2 weeks. Now my 3rd phone's camera lense has shattered, even with an Otter Box on it. Time to switch back to iPhone

There is a heat sensor near the flash-light. make sure you don't cover it by any mean, otherwise phone will overheat. Sometimes, if there is some pending updates make batteries drain very fast. and for LTE to 2G connection type *#*#4636#*#* and go to Set preferred network type.

Definitely not water proof. Don't put it in water!!! Mine didn't survive 10 sec. completely submerged. Died forever. The only good thing is battery life, compared to s6.

Baldy

The buttons...the damn buttons! I'm very physically active and keep pressing every.single.button on the phone while handling it, using it, or just putting it in my pocket. This will change all settings from brightness to time. It be history. Going with a SE, as it is small enough not to interfere with my ACTIVE lifestyle.

My Wife and I each have the G-S6-Active (White/Camo & Blue/Camo). I can't even begin to say how disappointed we are with these phones. Mine has had 2 falls from less than 4ft and broken the screen. Once the screen cracks it is useless and is $100+ for repair. (So much for Samsung's claim it can handle a 4ft fall. Hers was in a sock in her sports top while she was working out and it got sweat in it causing the screen to stop working properly and the Home button doesn't work at all. How is this water resistant and submersible? I have had smart phones ever since the T-Mobile Pocket PC and have never been this disappointed. (AT&T: "Built for an active lifestyle, the Galaxy S6 active is dustproof, shock- and water-resistant, and is engineered to withstand virtually anything that everyday life sends your way.") Just not what life sends it's way. (Samsung: Water resistant "5 feet for 30 minutes", Drop resistance, "Protected against impact/shock from drop onto flat surface of less than 4 feet and Protected against vibration, temperature extremes, humidity, and high altitude." Yea Right!! Is this false advertising? YES! and AT&T is the only carrier, is there a reason for this? If it does not hold up to what you have been told it will handle, don't expect to get anything more than a; Well better luck to you next time! from AT&T. It would seem so many people are having the same issues with this sub-standard product, has anyone started a class action lawsuit against Samsung and AT&T yet? The best thing I can recommend to anyone looking at a cell phone (Stay clear of Samsung's "Active" line of products. Apparently "Active" to them is rolling in a chair across the carpeted office floor...

I've had my phone 6 months when I dropped it. The screen cracked and quit working. I called Samsung and they said i had to pay 260 bucks to fix it. What a scam.

Got this phone and it's been problem afteright problem. Won't sync emails, lost all my bookmarks, can't bookmark, the video sending via text is horrible, they update without your permission and after every update something goes wrong, use to have a iPhone thought I'd try this out, mistake big mistake, not to mention ATT is horrible service experience as well

Water Proof means that you can take it underwater to a rated depth, kinda like a Casio G-Shock watch! Water resistant means that you can spill water on it and it will survive. Dunking it under water is not the same as spilling a class of water on it!

I have the EXACT same problem, and my Internet doesn't work now, only when I have WiFi and occasionally when the 4g lte flips on

There is a difference between 'water resistant' and 'water proof' :)

occasionally swim with mine. i avoid warmer waters as it can wear down the seals on the phone. once in a blue moon do i take it into the ocean, i rinse with water after. i regularly shower with mine.

best phone I've ever had. I forgot it was in my bathing suit pocket and swam in the ocean for roughly 30 minutes with my son and it survived. I didnt use any old tales of rice or anything, I simply dried it with my beach towel and used as normal. This is an awesome phone, Ive dropped on numerous occasions without a case and still no cracks or defects. I would highly recommend this phone for anyone in construction as myself, for me its a no brainer.

Love My phone. Can't get wet too long though. The specs say 30 minutes, nope try 5 minutes. Once wet longer than 5 minutes the speaker fails to operate. You have to turn the phone off to dry for a couple hours before it can work properly which is very poor comparing to Sanyo's lower line Hydro. I had a Hydro that could take a water beating. This Samsung S6 Active, SUCKS when wet. Shame on you Samsung.

Anonymous

The S6 active is not very active. The phone is definitely not "water resistant" as Samsung advertises their device. DO NOT TAKE NEAR WATER. Additionally, a dumb concept to have a underwater camera when the phone is definitely not "water resistant."

AnonD-558834

I am having the same overheating problem. I have burnt my skin when it was in my pocket. It uses battery quickly also. The young man at AT&T said there was a recall but I had to go direct through Samsung. Has anyone else heard about this?

AnonD-558834

My S6Active overheats. It gets so hot it has burned my skin when I had it in my pocket. I have taken it to AT&T several times. They have put apps on, Taken apps off, replaced the sim card and now tell me to contact Samsung about a recall. Is there a recall on these phones?

I agree. My son is now on his 2nd phone. Has shattered twice and won't cover yet it's not suppose to shatter. And had water damage and was only in water for 2 seconds. Claim it's waterproof but again won't cover. We have already spent 600$ for 2 phones and now want us to pay another 200$ for another phone. All the claims about how great this phone is are false!!!!!!

Manrav

Perhaps, those of us who are unhappy could start a class action lawsuit? This phone isn't up to par with Samsung's promises.

I have dropped mine face down on bricks and no problems I am not going to purposely put it in water to see what it will do. I have no complaints

**#**

The phone itself has an "Aqua" mode for taking photos underwater. It should be able to support that with it's hardware. Water ingress at a depth of less than 1.5 m for less than a few seconds is unacceptable for a phone that is rated for more.

I am at my wits end. The gs6 active is a POS. I have had them three months. Them meaning 3 months in after 3 trips to warranty a day countless calls to customer service they replaced my phone that I am financing new and never worked properly with a refurbished one that I still owe 500 on for the next 2 and a half years. It doesn't know how to switch from WIFI to data. It sucks worse than the first one at home on WiFi and worse than my gs3 used to. None of the talk to stuff works consistently so I can't put addresses in Google if I'm lost or talk to text and if it does work it gets most words wrong. Every few days all of my apps disappear from all screens and no buttons will work so I have to turn off and then back on. This is the stupidest smart phone ever. I hate it and I'm stuck with it. And to boot I could have bought a used or refurbished one on ebay for half the price. Absolute BS. For a single mom, having to upgrade out of necessity really sucks and it's just way too much to pay for a product that AT&T or Samsung won't stand behind or give me a phone that works properly

I have had my s6 active for 3+ months and have dropped it countless times from higher than any other phone could take and no cracks. Also i swam with it and no damage whatsoever;so i don't know if all your phones were defective but mine is perfectly fine.

Same thing happened to me. Had to pay for a new phone. Don't say it can go underwater if it cant!! Very upset with them!!

Wow! you blame the manufacturer because you cant read the fine print. It's water resistant, not waterproof. Big difference there. If the phone said it was IPX7 compliant that would mean it is waterproof up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) for 15 minutes. Still not completely waterproof. Water resistant means it can take water splashes and very light rain and be okay. Take responsibility for your own actions.

Does anyone know if this phone will receive marshmallow? And when?

Just bought the S7 Active (water resistant) and tried to take a selfie underwater in swimming pool within 3 ft of water and then there after screen went out totally and phone is totally black with water damage. Tried AT&T and they would not back it up and or Samsung either of course. Bad promo/ false advertisement ! They are forcing us to use insurance with asurion and documents have been sent 3X and they say they have yet to receive them. What is really going on with all this red tape and why advertise this type of phone if it does not with stand what they advertise ? Very Angry

I dropped my phone and the screen now stays black although I know it is charged and turned on. It vibrates to touch and the volume can go up and down. The blue flashing light is there as well. But...of no use! I've dropped my iPhones countless times and have not had any damage. I even washed my iPhone for about 5 minutes, put it in rice and it worked the next day (left it on the laundry basket before loading on a sleepy night, lol). I would NEVER buy a Samsung and the only reason I have this one is because it was issued to me as a work phone.

I purchased the regular Samsung 5 it has been dropped countless times and I have never had a problem. I got the active 5 for my daughter it shattered soon after we had it, we had insurance but still had to pay $ 199.00 deductible. They replaced it with an Active 6 we have only had it a few months the screen is black. There are no scratches or dings but a repair shop told me the LED Screen underneath the glass can break. He said they have repaired at least 5 in the last couple of weeks. We will never purchase another Active product, it has not proved to be durable as advertised.

Sellers

I'm confused, I have no idea how people are having problems. I dropped my phone earlier today on concrete while getting out of my car. I've dropped the phone already 5 times within 6 months from 5 feet and more, have dropped it in the sink, used it in the rain, and let it sit in the shower. I have no case or screen protector, and no matter what I seem to abuse it with, I only have three small scratches on the plastic metal-looking sides. The falls weren't pretty either, as the phone has bounced, landed flat on the screen, or flat on its back. Yet the phone endures, and has never overheated. Don't even get me started on how long the battery lasts and how fast it charges. I love this phone, I definitely want the s7, but for right now, I don't understand where these complaints are coming from.

Same here

I had the same thing happen to me exactly, I was told that it was military grade plastic, scratch resistant and it only fell 2 ft. and completely shatard. I called a local repair guy and because the phone was so new, I couldn't get it repaired. $200 deductible! I just bought a case and have been waiting for a repair shop for the fix. Funny thing now is that a new s6 active cost about the same as the repair. If I only knew that the product was subpar I would have bought a case for it.

Your the one that dropped it in water. They shouldn't have to pay for your careless mistake.

I hope that is not your opinion of our/U>S Armed Forces. if that the case then you/yourself are not the smarted person I know.

Ive had mine for 9 months and I've dropped it a couple hundred times i'm sure of that. its been in water a few times too and always comes out working after.. however I did drop it in the pool yesterday and it finally gave up on me.. customer service said it might be because of depth. anyway. even though I'm not happy bout the deductible i have to pay my insurance to get a new phone now, i still think it's a pretty durable phone!! would choose it again any day!

Pissed AT&T Cust

Purchased the Samsung 6 Active for its durability and it stopped working after ONLY 3 days. Took the phone to AT&T and was told it has a PRESSURE CRACK...really. The AT&T REP. could tell the phone had not been dropped, but said the phone was placed in my purse or pocket the wrong way. Samsung Knows this phone is BS yet they continue to sell it their customers and expect for you to pay to have it fixed. Funny thing...Samsung made sure to not have a Galaxy S7 ACTIVE. Samsung is a total RIP OFF!!!

dissappointed

purchased this "active" phone thinking i was getting a durable phone...wrong....after owning it for five days had it in my shirt pocket squatted down it fell out. wasnt even worried that it broke or anything...picked it up black screen done...they did cover it under warranty but i was with out a phone for a week...6 mos. later second one just using it normally suddenly nothing just goes dead...again under warranty but without a phone for a week...spent 700 thinking i wouldnt have to buy one again for years since it is so DURABLE....NOT HAPPY WITH IT.

Zephysus

I'm seeing all these comments about how the phone isn't as tough as people were lead to believe among other issues. I've had this phone for around four months now and the only problem I've ever faced with it was the occasional stutter. I've dropped it at least five times now with a majority of those being from around three or four feet and all I have to show for it is minor scratch on the back. From my own experience this phone is tough as hell and performs like a champ. I would definitely recommend this phone to someone whose looking for an excellent smartphone that isn't afraid of a lot of abuse.

SadSally

We've had the phone for 7 months and it was dropped in the bathtub. Now it doesn't work. Both At&T and Samsung say it's not covered because it's not a manufacturer defect. So I get to continue to pay for a phone I can't use. Sounds like false advertising to me. If I knew this before, I would have purchased a less expensive phone.

I wonder if the whole "gorilla glass 4" theory is even true. I have the same phone and now I'm extra worried that I might break mine.

broken Active

I recently got an Active based on the idea that it should be a little more durable. It fell from a seated position about 2 feet to the ground and cracked the screen. Its 35 days old, now I have to pay $200 in deductible fees to make an insurance claim. I feel this is an inferior product and I feel I'm stuck with a piece of junk that I'm affraid to use.

tommyboy

Had it for 8 months dropped it about 10 times all from 3 feet or less. Just dropped it about 1 ft yesterday and AT&T says its a internal crack and that voids the warranty. I thought this phone was supposed to be tough. Do not buy this phone it is shit!

BrianFantana

I don't know what you people are talking about. My home is surrounded by dusty fields and I fish a lot...but I never have to worry with this phone. I can take videos underwater and the dust storms are not a problem with this S6 Active, unlike my iPhone 6, which was severely damaged by dust. I've dropped it on concrete and only received a small, almost unnoticeable, smooth bump. WiFi and service are great and I live in a very unpopulated rural area. I'd buy this phone twice if I could. I've had both the Active and Edge, and while the Edge is more aesthetically pleasing, the Active is a phone you can actually hold without fear of breaking it. Love it. Two thumbs up

Oh, and also if you're taking it into salt water or something, soak it in distilled water to extract the salt residue from the phone after or at least fresh water (although I would really recommend distilled water, it's not so expensive when you compare it to the phone). People have taken the phone into salt water and without proper cleaning the ports began to corrode. So much for salt resistant.

AnonD-517715

I would probably put a screen protector on the phone if you are buying it. Corning Gorilla Glass 4 is supposed to be more shatter resistant, but it seems to scratch very easily. Basically, since I received my current phone about 2 weeks ago, it's either been sitting face-up on my desk or in my pockets with the display facing inward as to avoid damage (I've made sure that none of my pockets have sand or grit in them, because there have been complaints that Gorilla Glass is very susceptible to scratching by such particles) and there are already two inch-long scratches in the display. They are almost un-noticeable, but you can observe them by reflecting direct sunlight off of the display. They're not the worst thing in the world. In fact, you can't even feel them at all. But from an "active" phone which people will expect to survive a fall down a hill, it's very disappointing. Granted, it's a pretty expensive phone, but you should not tout it as what it isn't.

I was interested in this device even if i don't live in the US, but it seems that 95% of people owning one is disappointed with it.. Bad signal & wifi, screen breaking like normal glass and Lagwiz.. No thx! I'm going with Sony X Performance.

I feel sorry for all the others who posted with ask the disappointing opinions. Please learn how to use a smartphone. I've been using it for a month and feel very comfortable with it. I took it for underwater selfies and video up to 2ft. I twice dropped it deliberately and it feel five times accidentally but I was lucky up till now. As compared to other phones, only a few drops would've resulted with dents or scratches for sure. Don't forget the hardcore battery backup. 20 hrs on normal usage Wi-Fi and cellular running. This is a good phone to keep rather than buying much expensive phones and buying casings and pouches for them. The rugged version gives a safer feel which makes it less vulnerable to getting damaged.

I am very disappointed in the Galaxy S6 Active. They have " over engineered " it and insulated it so much so that the internal antenna is poorly functioning and reception for calls and wifi is greatly diminished.The Galaxy S6 Active is terrible for call and wifi quality. I had no problems with the Galaxy5 but it was too sensitive to water and stopped working. I tried 2 separate devices and the problems were exactly the same. . Samsung and AT&T cannot agree on anything except to point fingers at each other. I've gone reverse in service,, very poor reception, etc. Too bad the Galaxy S6 Active a decent camera trying to pose as a mobile phone.

ive had the s6 active for maybe two months and the screen cracked after i gently set it on a rock while hiking. now my phone looks like there's a spider web across it. the galaxy s5 active was so much better, i dropped it countless times and there wasnt so much as a scratch on it. so much for "indestructible"

terrible. I had the s6 active for less than 3 months and from no fault of my own the screen ble. I even went to at&t before it happened because my touch screen wasnt working. They inspected it and determined there was NO damage done on my part and put me on the phone with warranty. As I was on the phone my screen started to bleed AFTER the inspection. The at&t rep confirmed to Samsung warranty that it was not my fault, and I was told it wasnt covered by warranty if there is a bleed. I was furious. I had to get a new one from asurion and pay 200$. So much for a durable phone. It broke without me even dropping it. Now my new replacement routinely freezes, really really often. I will never buy another samsung product. They are junk.

if you are having slowdown/freezing issues after a firmware update, you may need a factory reset. unfortunately, the transition to new versions of android isn't as smooth as it should be so your apps can get really buggy due to the firmware. i do a factory reset after every major update (like going from android 5.0 to 5.01) and my phone operation is still smooth as silk.

i don't like Samsung but i am sure they are not made for your own wants and demands, if the glass cracked in your pocket it's your fault, if you can't hear calls or texts tones, it's still your fault, you're deaf AF, the case was not made to be drawback for the features, it compliments the upgraded features from the normal ones

s6 active sucks

no, the phone is garbage, u can't even hear it ring unless you leave it with the glass side down. If you have a case that covers the speaker you will miss every message and call. it also has a p.o.s. camera lens that cracked in my pocket.

Right now this is considered the best phone on the line for most things. The other is a IPhone 6s, but personal opinion coming from a hard working person who also is in the military, this phone holds its ground. It is tough has semi good protection from outside elements, but like any personal electronic devise I would by protection for it. Most stores have yet to put s6 active cases on their walls, but you can buy them online or from the guy in the mall (we all know the one). Positive to buying online you can get a custom one made for as low as about $20. I just had a more expensive one made for $35 to my spec. So its not that hard to find one. so as far as programming goes it is as of right now number one rated also for ease of use. Design is a little more bulky though, but I don't mind means more to it. To sum it up I do think it is worth the money.

AnonD-496551

I am very disappointed with this phone. It fell 2 feet from car to grass and screen cracked in corner. I went to best buy to get case to prevent further damage and was told there are not any cases for this phone other than through 3rd vendor. After looking at phone they stated this phone is advertised as rugged and should not have cracked. This is why I chose it as I had had just regular s3 with sprint. They told me to take to samsung repair of which i did. They said would have to send off and if find my fault would bill $199.00 to me. I would not have access to a loaner phone. Seriously? I just got the phone 121515 so called att to see if they can assist by giving new and differ7phone........nope, was told would have to pay $200 deductible to get new one. I'm so rattled that I am going to just go back to sprint and see if they will pay me out of contract to get me back so I can get a new and diff7phone. S6 active is very false advertising. No service Samsung store a serious joke!! Who can be without phone for who knows how long. Being new customer and barely in 2 months seem att would just replace no charge........just bad experience period.

I notice a lot of people having their phone turn "off". If you have this problem. Check to see if your LED light on the front still flickers. If so, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS hold on to the POWER, VOLUME DOWN, and HOME BUTTON. Whats going to happen is that your phone will show the intro screen as if you turned it on (But really its on the entire time) and then you're good. The reason why this happens.. im not too sure, Its always been a problem on the S4. I never got the S5. So no, theres nothing wrong with the phone, I am guessing the OS locks up and crashes for some reason. This problem occurs with Iphones as well and works just the same. HOLLA!!!

AnonD-491445

Well after messing with it for a while it came back on. I pressed all three bottoms at the bottom anb the righttop side for about 10 seconds it came back on like when you first charge it so im happy its on but still not sure what happened that I had to do all that. Try it if yours is not responding correctly.

This galaxy s 6 SUCKS it after two weeks will not turn back on and this is the second time it has happened. It was not droped or anything of that nature. It was in my locker at work cause there are no phones allowed in the wor place. I used it to check bus scheduled before work and after work it would not turn back on. Im still in the process of paying a 199.00 deductible on the last time this happened. Now I dont know what AT&T will say after a second time. Why would they even sell this crap? Well I want some answers. Ill be dammed if I dont get some.

This is the second time it just cut off and wont come back o. I thought it was the battery but nothing still. I have insurance on it and they make me pay a two hundred dollar deductible. This is really not worth it. Im serious I did nothing to it no drops no bumps nothing but it will no come back on. Ive lost everything on it twice now and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy!!! If your thinking about it STOP!!!!!! Donot do it. I promise it is nothing but trouble......

Love the phone but it is not shock proof! getting thru to Samsung (and apparently there is no customer service available in the UNITED STATES) and trying to make them understand the problem is like pulling teeth! My screen broke after a very short drop on a wood floor and the screen shattered! Samsung will replace the screen for a fee of course. The phone is advertised as nearly indestructible...I believe I have an inferior built phone!

Is anyone else having issues with vibrate on phone calls?? When I get a call my phone won't vibrate so my options are to either have it on silent or have the ringer all the way up. Vibration works for text messages and everything else just not phone calls. It used to vibrate when got a call. No, I haven't dropped it and yes, I've checked all settings... Can anyone help me?? This is serious issue. I miss a lot of calls because I can't always have my ringer on...

You can hide the content by going to sound and notifications and notifications on lock screen I think and it'll give you three options.. 1.show all content 2. Hide all. Or disable notifications. I hide it.. it still shows the sender or what app the notification is coming from but can't read it till unlocked

I've had this for a week and keep hearing comments from those I call that the speakerphone sounds bad. Speaker itself did some crackling tonight. Nice phone otherwise but the call issues may cause me to return.

I had the Galaxy S3 and S4 and actually got my girlfriend the S4 Active because I didn't want us to have the same phone and she loves it. I decided to go with S6 Active since she likes her S4 Active and the extended battery life vs S6. Sure it's not at attractive as the S6 or S6 edge cousin's but the truth is both of them need a strong case because of the fragility of both models and it makes S6 and S6 Active essentially the same but the Active gets about 35% more battery life and the model is sturdy even without a case in comparison. If you have AT&T and don't need the sexiest Galaxy it's worth it

You most definitely can make those changes without losing all notifications of a message. While you cannot turn data off in the drop down menu, you can pretty easily from "settings" and "connections". Not quite sure about your call log issue...seems unique

joe

i hate that you cant hide contents of a text message when you get one. so everyone can see who messaged you and what they are messaging you. you can turn it off but it turns off everything to do with that message no sound, no vibrate, nothing just a little red 1 on your envelope. also when someone calls you it lists when the last call you had made or received from this person and the last text and what it says while the call is coming through. they need to sort that out some how. also no data of/on option on the quick drop down menu.

It's actually considered water and damage "resistant." It says so on the specs page of this site. That's how they avoid lawsuits.

My AT&T usage manager quit working after the 5.1.1 update also. It comes up "unfortunately usage manager has stopped" I get the same message every time I check. ATT&T store didn't seem to care.

Mr. Cool

There's a lot of comments of people hating this phone but it's not a bad phone, it's the fact that it's brand new and is going to have some problems, I have one and it's just fine, facebook, apps, quickness, definitely better than my old iPhone 4. One of the best phones on the market and considering the fact that they're using a better processor than even the Galaxy 5, it's obviously not the phone, it's just the bad ones of the bunch.

Try going to settings>Search>Start typing message, something should pop up about default messaging app.

32 gb memory is way too small in such phone, which supports 4K video. Even 1080 video take 1 mb/ sec so what one can do with 4K video recorder with just 32 gb memory. It's useless for the low memory. If they sell half of the price, I'll not buy it. Epic fall!

I just bought this phone after having an iPhone 4s for almost 2 years. The apps that are actually available for it are usually bad, with constant ad popups and the phone hardly being able to keep up with standard apps like Snapchat. All this I could put up with... If the back facing speaker weren't already ruined! This phone is supposed to be STURDY? Honestly if you want a phone that performs well and are worried about it breaking, just get a GOOD smartphone and spend the money on a case, because this thing is not worth the money. $120 out of a young adult's pocket... I feel robbed.

Bought two S6 Active devices - black for me and white for my wife. Easy to setup and handle. Look shiny and beautiful. Don't know why some consider it ugly. The phone is super fast and the battery lasts at least 3 to 5 days with average usage of calls, taking pictures and browsing (no games). The pictures are awesome even in low light conditions. Video is great too. No lag when texting, browsing or making calls. It's great! :-) No problems whatsoever with anything. I guess most people who are happy with the phone do not comment so that's why it looks like everybody here is having problems :-) It's a great phone - get it! :-)

Repeated Problems

I am on my 3rd S6 in as many months. They have all been warranty replacements. It runs slow when typing email and I have to stop to let it catch up often. I have to reset it 2-3 times a day to get it to work right. The blue tooth connection to my car often lets you hear the songs while talking on the phone. not happy with the product and wish I had my S4 back. I am about to request a different model device as I have had no luck with this one repeatedly.

Anonymous

The same exact thing happened to me and I had wait for the battery to die so that it would reset,as you can't remove the battery on the S6 active

Annoyed

I purchased the S6 active in June, less than 48 hrs later the phone wouldn't power on, AT&T replaced it for me at the store, less than 6 months later it has done it again. The phone just shut down and won't power back on. Samsung wants me to send it in with an approx 9 - 11 day turnaround and I do not have an extra phone for a backup. When I ask what the problem is, I get no answer. I will not purchase any Samsung product again, I had a similar experience with the Samsung "Delve" phone, I believe was the name of it several years ago.

I'm more or less trying to talk myself into a GS6 over iPhone 6s (upgrading from an iPhone 5) and I have read multiple comparison reviews and urge you to open up your mind and read ANY UNBIASED review and you're wrong. Sure the GS6 may come out on top in most (if not all) comparisons, but most reviews will state near the end that you can't go wrong with either phone and the GS6 is marginally better than the 6s (not "10 years ahead").

I do not understand all this talk of glass breaking. Currently own a Samsung Ruby but need to replace it due to the time always changing on its own incorrectly and the phone ringer randomly working sometimes and other times not. None the less this phone has dropped tons of times, once from five stories: the glass has never broke. Its hard to believe that this strength never carried on to later models.

Good News: Its working in Europe/Switzerland! I bought this phone at AT&T in USA and now use it in Europe/Switzerland. All you have to do is to go to this page: AT&T will send you an email in about 2 days with the unlock code and the howto. My Galaxy S6 Active is now connetced with my carrier (Swisscom) and it works with LTE and everything.

This phone Is amazing. I dropped it off of my porch which is close to 9 feet off the ground and it landed straight flat on its face glass side down. I was like no it's not going to ever work again. Then I went down picked it up and nothing but a couple small dents. This gorilla glass is amazing. I broke over 6 iPhone screens dropping it a couple inches off the ground. Heck iPhone screens break by themselves if you have the phone for over a month. It just self destructs. I'm so glad I swithched to Galaxy. Not only is the technology in this phone 10 years advanced from Apple but the build of these phones are nearly indestructible. And you can't forget the waterproof on the active models. They are latterly waterproof without a stupid life proof case. It's amazing how much Samsung destroys the market. They are creating a monopoly. These phones are incomparable to apple iPhones. They are not even in the same league anymore. Apple is like preschool t-ball while Samsung is an Olympic all American professional baseball team

I've always had an iPhone and I was extremely excited to get the new S6 Active but a little over a week of me purchasing the phone the i started to get the black screen with the "X" for the gear VR, also it says that my port is connected when its not and the power sharing mode will turn on randomly. I thought maybe I had just pressed something wrong so I kept it, then about a week later it started doing it again and hasnt stopped since, sometimes it takes hours for it to correct itself. its very frustrating and samsung wants me to send my phone in for a few weeks to see if they can fix it but i use my phone for work so i cant go 3 weeks without a phone. basically im screwed and i refuse to get a refurbished device through an insurance claim when ive had mine for less than a month. Samsung doesnt want to help me out at all, im done with this company already.

Used it with back country navigator the other day for a all mountain mtb ride at san Juan trail and again without a hitch...... We lead an extremely active lifestyle and don't stop , needed a phone to keep up. I have a note 5 for business so wasn't worried too much about frying a phone as I have a back up... LOVE THIS PHONE.... Theres pics on my Instagram account of using it thejeepshack ... I did however get the black screen (software issue) with the vr command going on in back ground and a black screen with a X in a corner..... Apparently this has happened to others... I went ahead and wiped partition cache but it did it again later.... So I swapped it out the new phone is flawless.... Wish I had waited on note 5 for the note 5 active....

I just got a Galaxy S6 Active about two months ago. I am aware of its features and its ability to be waterproof and shock proof. However, I just recently dropped my phone for the first time, It fell out of my jacket pocket while bending down so it wasn't that big of a drop, maybe only a couple of inches. There is a small indentation on the corner but it is barely noticeable. The screen now shows weird colors and looks like blotches of ink splattered on my phone. The screen is fully intact and the ONLY physical damage on my phone is the small scratch/ding. Everything else on the phone works, it's just hard to see and work with due to the discoloration of the screen. I am still eligible for the warranty because I only had it for a couple months. However, I'm scared that when I send in my phone they will decline my replacement due to the small ding. Has anyone else have this problem? I also feel that if I do get declined, they are promoting false advertisement for this phone.

I just got the Samsung Galaxy S6 and I've only had it for a couple months, so I'm still eligible for the 1 year warranty. However, I just recently dropped my phone on accident and it created a small scratch/ding to the corner like any other phone. This was the first time I dropped my phone since I got it. After a few hours passed I noticed my screen was turning up different colors(black/pink/purple/blue), a couple hours later it started to spread. I brought it in to AT&T and they had me call warranty. Will they not replace my phone if they find the small ding?

Of course, it goes without saying that you will have difficulty getting used to an entirely new interface. That's like going from Windows to Mac, or from an automatic transmission to a manual; if you have only experienced one and go to the other, you will experience a bit of headache. Also, go ahead and mention a SINGLE cell phone manufacturer that covers screen damage as a free replacement under warranty. There is none. Only now is HTC offering 'uh oh protection', and goodness knows they'll find a way to screw someone over with that as well. Glass is glass, and glass will break if hit the right way, Gorilla Glass or not. Get a tempered screen protector. But don't try to use your uninformed opinion to try to dissuade people from getting a device that's actually a pretty capable device. I've watched drop test after drop test online featuring this device and it has survived falls that other phones definitely would not have survived. If you don't want to spend $700 on a device that could break, then don't get a smartphone, because they're ALL like this. LG, Samsung, Apple, SONY, all the major designers of smartphones do NOT offer any recourse for a cracked screen. Also, you can find the parts online and replace it yourself if you are capable, for way less than the manufacturer would perform it for. The thing about smartphones is, even though they are advertised as resilient, they are still devices made of plastic and glass, and are still capable of being broken. Just because it is advertised as shock-resistant and water resistant, does NOT imply that it is impervious, and you should do a little more research and use some common sense before deciding that something is a piece of junk. I'm sure you can find a NOKIA 3310 online, those things are indestructible.

I do believe what he tells. Forget all the "proof" thingy, it is not fully "proof", and don't try anything that challenge the "proof" limit of the phone. If he like the phone, then just treat it as a normal phone that need to be take care in normal usage, and don't try to accidentally dropping it, every smartphone will break no matter how they claim can survive the drop test, glass is still a glass. And for the Android UI, if he don't like it, then just forget this phone. Nothing wrong with the UI actually, it is just a matter of personal preference and customization, more on the way of using it, rather than being said as an issue.

I agree on the interface part where Android interface is totally different from iPhone IOS. It take time to learn if we switching from one to another (not just Touch Wiz matter, it is very different among brand, even those claimed powered by the same Android OS version). People will get used to it after the learning curve, but it certainly But on the phone damage, I do not agree it is totally user fault. I would call it the false advertisement or false information that make people believe this phone is much more "proof" than others. Take for screen crack, the phone comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 4, and is MIL-STD-810G certified - salt, dust, humidity, rain, vibration, solar radiation, transport and thermal shock resistant. So, this means we can be more careless, and the phone should survive all the drop, shocks, but end up it doesn't. So now we bought a phone that has all the "proof" certified, but end up is user fault if user break it? But the advertisement do promote those feature that the phone can survive. There is also no detail measure on how much force the phone can take before causing the phone break. (I know those thing are impossible to be answer by Samsung as it will break their reputation. All they can do is continue to blame user and continue to say their phone is very durable) Then the water proof thing that has been debate for years on warranty and user fault, so letting the water go inside the phone is user fault again? or continue blaming user not use it properly where flap are not closed properly, phone back cover is not closed properly, or used it in salt water that break the phone? Or blame user dunk the phone for too long, over 30 minute? I would say, if neither the phone can survive, then stop promoting those non-sense advantages. Now, we end up getting something that is far from what it intend to be, and they come out all sort of excuse blaming user careless if the thing is broken. This is just like the iPhone 6/6+ bendgate cases that continue blaming on user mishandling on it, rather than blaming the phone built durability. So iPhone is a piece of device that need extra caring on using it, and if it is bended, it is user fault again? Also, what is the point of telling the complain are just very less? Problem is still a problem, and it won't solve by shifting the topic around.

I totally understand your frustration. There is nothing more frustrating than having phone issues within days after purchasing a new device. Especially after spending several hundreds of dollars and committing yourself to a contract. That sucks your screen cracked.. Very unfortunate but you have to understand that water, dust, heat and shock proof does not mean the glass screen is shatter proof. Glass is glass.... That is why it is very important to buy a tempered glass screen protector.... Especially if you work in an extreme environment. I know this is not what you want to hear but the reality is, you need to take some responsibility for what happened to your phone. The rugged outside of the phone is meant to protect the delicate internals. I'm sure... Minus the cracked screen.... Your phone works just fine. Just because the phone is an active variant doesn't mean it's beyond getting damaged in any way. The screen is glass and its exposed. There is no way to fully protect it. There are some things the user has to be responsible for. When I bought mine... I was excited to not need a case any more but I knew I had better buy tempered glass screen protector to help reinforce and protect the display. Displays are fragile and as you found out... If you hit it just right, it doesn't matter how far it falls from... 2ft or 20ft.... If it hits just right, it's gonna break. That's not the phones fault..... It's not the users fault.... It just is what it is.... Although it is the users responsibility to aid in preventing the display from cracking due to a freak accident.... Now as far as your problems with the interface.... Once again.. It sounds like a user issue.... Not a phone issue. It sounds like you are new to android and haven't quite figured it out yet. With android... Your options are damn near limitless.... If you dont like Samsung's interface, download a different home launcher much like almost every android user does. Especially with touchwiz. Obviously... If you are coming from years with an iPhone there is going to be a slight learning curve but it's nothing you won't get used to. Who knows... You may end up loving your S6 active... I suggest you fix the display, get a tempored glass screen protector, do your home work in regards to android and download a different home launcher..... Give it another chance. I understand your frustration... I get it... I really do... But nothing that has happened in regards to what you posted.... Is the phones or Samsung's fault... I am not a fan of any one particular device or manufacturer... I just love smartphone technology... And I can honestly say... After owning almost every top end device known to man over the last few years(including multiple iphones).. The S6 active is one of the best devices I have used..

I bought the phone two days ago and dropped it at work. I was promised this would be the perfect rugged phone for working in a wet environment and could handle my needs. It fell out of my shirt pocket while bending over and a quarter of the screen broke from this 1 or 2 foot fall. To answer another posters question- no this is not under warranty. This "active" phone which cost 700 dollars will cost 200 dollars under att warranty or 250 to repair by Samsung. I will never ever again buy any of their products or let any friends or family. Shockproof means absolutely nothing I have seen many other phones take much more damage and the manufacturers will actually stand by their product. The actual interface is horrendous, if you are used to an iPhone expect at least a week of fiddling with settings to get the device anywhere near usable. I am only 2 days in and there is not enough room here for me to list the multitude of headaches I've had. I took it back to att the next day and it took 2 employees 25 minutes to show.me how to remap keys, set up my contacts correctly, and other basic things. All in all this is a terrible and expenaive phone and I implore anyone considering it to stop.

I bought the phone a month back, the phone fell just once while walking and the display is cracked. and the touch doesn't seem to function well now. Can i get it replace free under warranty ?

AnonD-374012

back to an old design of s4.. can samsung create a water/dust proof device with slim and elegant design like sony does? how about the s5?

AnonD-417412

While the memory leak is undesirable, it isn't a hardware issue. It is a firmware and kernel issue that can be and will be fixed at the 5.1 update. Regardless, I am loving the S6 Active and haven't seen much lag (at all). The camera and waterproofing set it way above any other device I would consider. I was a bit skeptical with only 3GB Ram but during the initial setup, the phone ripped through installations and still let me play without much lag. On my Note 3, it would have been frustrating. I think you are expecting too great of improvements from one year to the next. There will always be room for improvement and this device rocks!

AnonD-292864

Why do you talk like Galaxy S6 and it's variants are the only phones with memory leak issues? Currently all the phones that run Android Lollipop have the same issue. Not just S6 and it's variants.

AnonD-276592

Do the buttons work on touch or just press?

AnonD-411443

Man,,,Finally, I read a response from someone that mentions the disappointing memory leak catastrophe that plagues the S6 and its variants. Yes, this phone has amazing pieces. Great build quality, great camera, great display and now with the active it offers protection from the elements as well as the inevitable human accident prone person. However, great pieces does not make a great phone and they certainly don't equate to a great user experience which for me is the most important element of a phone. The pieces of this phone are not put together in a way that renders each piece a compliment to the other. The pieces are just there and whenever you put something together with no real thought going into how all its pieces are going to work together then something is gonna get missed or messed up.In this case it's the memory management issue of the s6 and its variants. It makes efficiently multi tasking virtually impossible and extremely frustrating. Samsung has quietly acknowledged the problem and has promised a fix with a future patch update which it has yet to deliver. Primarily because there is no way to fix it post production. This means that all the people who purchased this phone the first few weeks it was available to order are most likely stuck with what they have. Others, that purchased the phone recently, the second wave of buyers, most likely have devices that will not give birth to the same issue due to the fact the problem was remedied during production. They probably have no idea the problem was ever a problem and think that people like us that are mentioning it are just maliciously bashing Samsung. No....its not malicious..... They earned this bashing. I waited for my s6 for months. I was at the door of my local AT&T store the morning of its release to purchase mine. 14 days and a warranty exchange later it was returned for a refund. I now have an LG G4 which happens to be the best phone I've ever owned. I guess everything happens for a reason. With projected sales numbers upwards of 50 million units, I'm sure good ol Sammy can stand to loose a customer.....or 2.

no micro sd slat and no radio but there is a dangerous part that is SAR value in new Samsung phones.samsung new ohones have high SAR and that's very very dangerous for human and healthy.most of new Samsung phones have the most SAR in mobiles.because Samsung makes many of phones with aluminum or metal and that increase SAR and .... just htc and apple phones with metal body have the normal SAR. BE AWARE OF THAT SAMSUNG METAL PHONES HAVE VERY HIGH SAR ,SO THEY ARE VERY DANGROUS FOR HEALTY.

I have the Galaxy S6 Active. I do like the phone but I have a few issues. One concern I have is the audio quality of the rear speaker. Everything is clipped in some fashion. It sounds like the old speak and spell voice. It is very noticeable with a deep male voice. I wonder what they did? My old galaxy S4 was fine. Fortunately the audio issue is limited to the rear speaker. Direct connect headphones and Bluetooth do not suffer from any lack of audio quality. Maybe there is a fix to this rear speaker speak and spell voice audio issue? My second issue is there is only 32Gb of storage space. Need I say more on this one? Give us the option of at least 64Gb. Battery life is absolutely amazing! I live in poor cell reception area and my phones usually die around noon. I get a full 14 hrs of battery with this phone. This is the biggest reason I will keep this phone. My wife's iPhone 6 is dead by 2PM. Absolutely everything else about the phone is great. I know people think its ugly, but its the rugged active version and its what I expect form a real phone that can actually take a real life beating and keep working reliably. Overall its a great phone but the rear speaker audio quality is an epic fail. The limitation of only 32GB is almost a major fail. It has close to 24Gb free. I just transferred my basic needs over to the phone and I only have 5GB free... Not super impressed. This is frustrating as my old S4 had 80GB of storage. I had to really downsize to fit on the Galaxy S6 Active with only 32Gb of storage.

Why anyone completely relies on cloud storage is beyond me... It's nothing but unnecessary compromise when with enough memory on the phone you could have everything always at hand and on the cloud for backup, because those times you have no or very slow Internet connection you're completely screwed.

Hello, Gsmarena. I just wanted to tell you some of the specs of this phone, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, that are either missing or incorrect, so here you go: -This phone has 3GB of ram. -The weight of this phone is 5.291 oz (150 grams). -The dimensions of this phone are 146.81 x 73.41 x 8.64 mm / 5.78 x 2.89 x 0.34 in. -One of the sensors of this phone is SpO2. -This phone has 3 colors: Gray, Camo White, and Camo Blue. -The display of this phone actually has a 577 ppi pixel density. So, these are all the specs of this phone, the Galaxy S6 Active, that are missing. All of these are completely accurate and true, so don't worry! Once you add all these to the spec chart, the chart should be complete! So yeah, you're welcome, Gsmarena!

Just got this yesterday and loving it. Got the blue camo version. Personally I think the thing is beautiful. I don't get this obsession with going ever thinner and sacrificing battery size. These phones, are thin enough. Nothing even remotely bulky about this phone. Plus I hate cases and this phone is durable enough to go naked. So far battery life is stellar. I'm not a heavy user but I have been installing apps, customizing, streaming music, tinkering etc since yesterday. 22 hours now since charging and it has 40% left. SD cards and lots of storage is overrated. I keep all my photos and videos on Picasa/Google photos. Why anyone insists on keeping everything local is beyond me. Other random files I keep on Google Drive. Everything launches just as fast as launching them from phone storage thru those services. 32gb is more than enough. Imo this is the best phone out there today.

Worth buying? I think Galaxy Xcover 3 is much better. Even the design is similar. I need sd slot and removable battery. Being active means you keep taking picture till the sd card is full and replace it immediately with an empty one. Being active also mean that you have no time to charge yiur ohone outdoor so swaping battery is the better choice. Super Amoled and 576 ppi? Active people barely use their phone and spend more time having fun with the activity they are engaging with.

if samsung to have Display Type LED-backlit IPS LCD, capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors was best phone.

Veteater

Say the back cover comes off underwater. U are toast at that point. It all depends on how you look at it, it could be good or bad. That is why the back is not removable. As for expandable storage, a lot of customer service employees have clients coming in crying because their micro ad card failed and they lost all of their data, but the option of expanding storage in itself is very good. There's a controversy to everything.

I am pretty sure now, that Samsung engineers have no idea what kind of smartphone outdoor people need. One can make an "active" model without FM radio, card slot, removable battery and waterproof connectors, even two or three (help!), but when one makes the fourth model for kids in sandbox and again calls it "active", then definitely should see a doctor, possibly the best outdoor one.

Hopefully Samsung loses enough once loyal customers like us so they'll realise their mistake and start making proper phones that do everything again instead of the S6 which is basically an iPhone with Android on it. I hear S6 sales are much worse than they predicted and barely even equal to S5 sales which was seen as a massive commercial failure, so that's good news anyway.

I do agree there were some improvements, but other then the looks,that are indeed fantastic on the edge, most are BS. Qi charging, I already have on my S5. QHD display does that not look substantially different from 1080p is a battery and cpu killer. CPU and memory speeds are a natural evolution, but from what I hear, the S6 lags like my S5,thanks to TW. As for amount of memory,well, I have infinite via SD cards...

AnonD-195149

After having owned the entire Galaxy line since the original until my current S5, I am definitely moving away from Samsung. My hopes were that, as rumored, they would fit this beast with a 3500 mAh battery, as well as an SD card. Since the santandard S6 battery is so pathetic, for a non removable, the active was my only hope to stay faithful. Really, if I wanted what Samsung is doing, I would have bought an iPhone.

AnonD-389805

Samsung just keeps removing features like SD slot, removable battery and to a lesser extent radio that used to differentiate itself from iPhone by the fact the Galaxy S phones used to be designed to do everything. But now for the sake of design it's becoming much too limited and creeping ever closer to the limitations and charging for extra features that the iPhone does. And the fact is that yes it is a good phone but for the price I shouldn't have to make big compromises and such a shame that they've forced me to look to other manufacturers for a new phone since the Note does do everything I need but is just too big.

alexander

samsung designed is always the same.

S6 is a HUGE improvement over S5 in so many aspects: looks, speed, screen, memory technology, camera, speaker, fast charging...etc. I have the 64 Gb Edge version and it is a beast.

Well done to Samsung! They r following the likes of have been nokia n motorola. Living on their big repute of a handful of success on alternate years of gd galaxies and being complacent. They think they have a big fan base like Apple but android is pretty open competition. Im still holding on to a S4 Active a pretty darn solid phone that took lotsa abuse. Iv dipped it in saltwater and freshwater for underwater shots for my fishing and recently water leaked in a little after the phone got older n the rubber ring lost some waterproofing, but otherwise operationally unaffected. Latest underwater session, i soaked it in seawater to shoot a video of a fish release n the immediate result was speakers going muted. After a wipedown n leaving it to dry it's fine. After 18mths the charging port plastic cover came off its rubber seal and i cudnt glue it back with success n pulled the entire thing out. Not complaining coz my pal's s5 charging port came off within a year. Hence my s4 active not longer water resistant n im fine with it for afew more mths till i upgrade. Nonetheless the s4 active is one of my best serving phones ever with no hiccups other than usual battery life shortening after a year. My only phone that doesn't need a case n yet looks nice in metallic orange which has its edges scraped off with abuse. I was really keen on another Active but with non removable batt n microsd it seems like i wud be paying for premium price n looks (subjective not really a beauty to me but s6 active looks more robust thatz about it) for a massive downgrade in key features. I already used up 2/3 of my 64gb msd. What a joke to be handicapped with 32gb fixed!!!! Im keeping my options open and the G4 looks to fill the bill n more attractively priced. Hope some heads will fall at Samsung. Paying top execs that have no simple idea what the growing demands or trends of the mobile world. 32gb is really crippling to use with higher pixel pictures n hd quality n beyond videos to store. Therez no loyalty in mobile consumer market. Its either the best tech n looks or price attractiveness. Consumers just move on to the next best thing. If a market leader cant keep up with it. It will just fall behind the pack really fast. This year's Galaxy offerings are a disaster. Hope they have better luck on their Note 5. It wud be a gd bet to see their stock prices dropping with similar consumer sentiment. Hope Ironman n the rest of the Avengers can save Samsung this year. Samsung hope u guys hear this n wake up coz i do hope to get a Galaxy S7 active but if things dun change this brand can be scratched off the list like my old favorite Nokia before Apple stormed in n won me over briefly. Gd luck to the sales of this year's galaxy S6 sub-active.

They copied only bottom of the S6 from Iphone 6, if not then tell me what else they copied?

AnonD-389805

Well the official specs were released yesterday and it is exactly the same as the standard S6 so I am officially DONE with Samsung since they've stopped designing the Galaxy S to do everything and following the Apple model of giving just enough and charging for the rest.

AnonD-402784

Ugly phone, i really do not like this handset. And a better battery would be a plus.

AnonD-389805

Actually Samsung included a solution for that because if you hold the power button for I think 5 seconds it physically cuts the battery connection as if it's been removed.

AnonD-399138

I think people are more concerned with their phone when hangs. When your phone hangs and you wait for 15 minutes but doesn't restart, the only solution is removing the battery. Otherwise, you should wait till your phone completely discharges that could take a day. Google should resolve this issue on Android OS.

This phone has a measly 2550mAh battery yet it is the Active variant of the S6 series. Moving on...

capt

2550 batery?? Wtf?? It wont active all day

Melker63

Anemic 2550mAh battery? Add salt to injury: Probably only 32GB alternative - without card-slot AND without USB-host. My interest in this phone just went from 95+ procent likely to buy, to less then 5%.

Major Disappointment

If battery info is correct, I will be buying elsewhere for my next phone. I have been waiting on this phone, even willing to forego the missing expansion memory... but with a small battery I wont buy it. I need my phone to last all day, or at least the option of changing the battery!

Lehrit

I'm pretty sure that the Active is NOT the exact same size as the regular S6. It simply makes no sense.

AnonD-389805

The S6 can survive water for a while but the water does get inside and when it's inside the battery will fry the phone, and also because of how it's sealed putting in rice wouldn't absorb the moisture. And I'm not a fan of iPhone but at least with them you can just undo a few screws to get into the battery, while on the S6 you need to use a hairdryer to melt the glue then pry the phone apart with a very high chance of damaging it.

Anonymous

reason why people like removable batteri is becourse lets say you get your phone wet to a certen extend where you need to be able to cut the power.. or your phone freezes up like with some phones removing the battery sometimes help it so it can run again. you wont be able to save a wet samsung phone now if you cant remove the battery.. and yes i have a friend that saved one of he's earlyer samsung galaxy phones by removing the battery after he got droped into water with the phone.. and it still worked.. not sure it would have handled that if he could not have removed the battery but it wont be the biggest issue with this phone since it can handle water for a while

AnonD-389805

Why should I choose to MASSIVELY compromise when my Galaxy S5 does everything I need and all the S6 does is give a bit more speed while taking away features. Because I can already use cloud services and power banks but with S5 I don't have to rely on them or have to worry about no signal since everything is already on my phone and have a spare battery in my car. If Samsung can make a phone that doesn't feel like a huge downgrade like the S6 is then I'd buy it tomorrow, but if not another manufacturer can take my money.

CK

Why? You can use a portable battery to charge up the internal battery. As for the SD card, with the Cloud Service offered with the phone and many other services such as DropBox, you shouldn't make this the reason you don't get a phone you like.

AnonD-389805

There's always wild rumors about Galaxy phones but all I care is that the rumours of SD slot and removable battery are true because I've got money burning a hole in my pocket and if the S6 Active doesn't have these I have no choice but to go to another manufacturer, which is surprisingly difficult since premium phones like the S5 that have all the features just aren't made anymore. Well they are but they're too big like with the Galaxy Note and LG G4.

better than s6 edge as it has a finger scanner and water resistant

samsung should not miss anything About card slot upto 128gb fastest class of edge and gprs like it was on the time of s3 Stereo FM radio with RDS these are some specification which samsung is ignoring they should remeber about s3 populirity beacuse of including these all types of specification *battery issue is also a big issue which we users are facing And last samsung should add also tv to all it's upcoming s series from s7 please think on my concept samsung i like your smartphones very much my email id [email protected] please contact Thanx

I left iPhone for Samsung because of the Memory card slot and the removable battery option, if Samsung now wants to be iphonised, then I will surely say goodbye to Samsung. They have to be careful, they might lose many who moved from Apple. Some might choose Sony or Htc or even move back to Apple.

Anonymous

I agree with Zebede. They do appear to have mostly just copied the specs from the S6. All leaks I've read mention that the S6 active will have a memory card slot. The IP67 and 3500 mah battery are consistent with the leaks, but some of the information appears to be inaccurate. Also, no word yet whether the battery is removable or what the phone's case will be made of (poly-carbonate or aluminum. Poly-carbonate please for crystal clear reception and removable battery).

Zebede

This is bad review. Some leaks said that it will have memory card slot and that the battery will be 3300-3500 compared to S6's 2550... But that's the leaks, and here they just copied the S6's info and paste it on S6 Active. Google S6 Active leaks and you will find more reliable information

yuoliuol

no memory and battery so no use to buy this phone

the disadvantage of a removable battery is it will shut off whet it get off. simple as that.

kiba

yeah dude I agree with you :-)

AnonD-388684

i wish it still was poly-carbonate, impact resistance with bounce is way better than none and the flex that results in aluminum. it's a more expensive material but far from better or more durable.

with that kind of battery and IP it would be "next" flagship... only add sd slot...

AnonD-369449

The most important thing that does not have plastic

Nick

If the S6 Active comes to Verizon then I will probably get it. Water resistance is something I absolutely insist on since I live in Oregon (rains a lot). Also very happy to hear the S6 Actives' battery will be 37% bigger (3500 mah vs 2550 mah)! Speaking of battery, I wish that Samsung hadn't increased the pixels in their display. The S5's 2.1 million pixels (1080 x 1920) in a 5.1" screen was plenty! I don't understand why they increased their pixels by 78% (1440 x 2560 = 3.7 million pixels!) when I've read in comments and reviews that the difference in clarity is barely noticeable even when you look for it. Seems a huge waste of battery resources to power so many pixels in such a small computer. Thankfully, Samsung is maximizing their battery and performance through an extremely efficient 14 nm chipset (Exynos 7420), Power Saving Mode and Ultra Power Saving Mode user options, and getting rid of a lot of the unnecessary preinstalled software (less background activity means less power wasted). Additionally Samsung has started to mass produce their new ePop techology which will further increase their battery (and internal space) efficiency in future phones. Using a detailed review source (http://www.notebookcheck.net) I've found to be very accurate in the past I compared the S6 with the older S5. I was happy to see that the S6 made some really great improvements to its' display (especially brightness and outdoor usability), camera (especially low light condition shots), and has made the virtual keyboard and general layout much easier and intuitive to use. The lightning fast performance was also impressive. I am unhappy, however, that the S6 telephone quality is not as crystal clear as the S5 (plastic does not interfere with radio signals unlike metal so this result is not unexpected), the audio is not nearly as precise and impressive, and the battery is not removable (after a couple years of use or in case the S6 freezes and refuses to shut down). I am hoping the S6 Active reverts back to strong plastic as perfect reception is more important to me than perfect performance (as metal provides much better heat conductivity) and the much greater potential for a removable battery is a great added bonus, but if not I still feel the S6 Active will likely be the best option for my first smartphone. On a much lesser note, I am hoping Samsung can still support UFS memory in the S6 active as it is more efficient (and faster), but I fear by supporting microSD card technology, they will be forced to abandon UFS in the S6 Active. Personally I can't see why I would need more than the 32 GB storage in the base S6 Active model, but I can understand why many people would want or even demand this basic feature, and personally losing UFS would not be a deal breaker for me.

Will this really happen? If yes I'm all for it. It's only a question of WHEN?!!!?!?!?!?!!! =)

@Arabian_Knight All Samsung devices use the Hold Power, Volume Up and Home Button simultaneously to reboot the phone into Recovery Mode. From there you simply pick reboot in standard mode! What's so hard about that? lol... and you can do that if it has removable batteries or not. In fact near all manufacturers copied that method from older Samsung devices with out removable batteries!

When the Phone hangs and would not power on/off , you can bypass that by removing the Battery ... if the phone has non removable batteries , you must wait for the battery to drain out .

AnonD-382652

My main point was head set jack being at bottom and other changes I mentioned Samsung has done in new phones are so unhandy, which I think should be taken back in coming up phones... Actually as soon as possible with S6 Active because I want to buy that phone! And the hard keys for S6 Active are unhandy and not necessary either. One hard and two soft keys are the best. And it looks to me like they had inspiration from iPhone, designing S6...

Do You know for sure S6 Active won't have a card slot? It is still uncertain as far as I know. At least I still have hope ;)

yeah i said it

Your comment makes no sense, the LG g2 port and speaker and head set jack is at the bottom, so I guess LG copying too , the HTC one has no removable battery, I guess they copying too, most Nokia Lumia have no removable battery, I guess they copying too, One plus one have no removable battery, I guess they copying too, sir grow up , apple didn't not started no removable battery, no SD card slot, the first iphone was 2007. Samsung was around from 1938 and still here in 2015 ,

Anonymous

I can't see why Samsung's doing this.. They're adding great new futures and specs in their new phones but they're removing the good old ones at the same time. That's a shame they've changed the options key with running apps. What's the point in that? S6 is definitely a great phone but what's the reason for copying iPhone's specs which suck like headphone port being on the bottom?? Unremovable battery sucks too but I guess it's necessary to be water-proof.. And I hope there will be just usual one hard and two soft keys unlike S5 active. Sorry for my English by the way.

yessir86

These stats are NOT for the active version!!!

2nd if your battery starts to fail later on or develops a fault you will have to send your phone back to the manufacturer to have it replaced. By having a user removable battery means that you can replace your failed/failing battery yourself easily.

"Now the only one remaining major difference between Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6 is the operating system." You sure about that?S6 has 16mp camera and iPhone has 8mp(And iPhone's camera were the same like 5 years in a row already or maybe more),Samsung already uses quad-core processors since SGS3 and iPhones latest flagship which is the iPhone6 only uses dual core processors(Don't tell me crap that iOS doesn't need a lot of cores because it's already running smooth on single cores). You can even do almost anything on SGS6 and don't tell me that Apple has features that Samsung doesn't have. That BS is overrated. I Bet Apple just finds softwares on Google Play which are being ignored by users, they copy it, call it innovation and claim it's their own. Jeez, wake up dude, iPhones are just for social status it doesn't have anything new. It's just a brand name not a Mobile Phone company OKAY? #troll#fanboy#doublefacepalm @_@

Samsung makes dozens of phones every year and make a phone for everyone, and every single feature ever used on iPhone was used on other phones first, and Android is where all the ideas start before Apple devices to use it. And it's just sad that you're so narrow minded wanting Samsung to suffer.

You think that I'm an Apple fanboy. But you're wrong. (Maybe I should have to write my comment in a more obvious way.) I hate Apple and iPhone. And the reason why I hate Samsung is that they started to copy iPhone. So the new changes that S6 has is almost everything why people hate iPhone (limitations, design, etc.). Now the only one remaining major difference between Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6 is the operating system.

AnonD-56991

At one time technology and IP was shared to a reasonable amount and that's how the tech industries improve because one person has an idea and everyone tries to improve on that. But then Apple came along who copied all their ideas just like everyone before, except now Apple sues everyone for ideas they stole. But Fanboys like you just can't understand the damage Apple is doing with their monumental levels of greed.

Samsung don't care about common sense. All they do is copying Apple and iPhone. Samsung wannabe Android's iPhone. I hope Samsung will fall and die.

AnonD-56991

That's very wrong because I've bought every Galaxy phone since the beginning no matter how much they cost, and the reason myself and most complain is they removed 2 major features that set it apart from iPhone and many other phones because Galaxy phones could do everything, and when you run short of memory you get some more. Because what do you do on an old iPhone if that 16gb runs out? Nothing... You're stuffed, but on a Galaxy phone you just stick a memory card and new battery in and it keeps on going. Because right now I use my old Galaxy S3 connected to my TV as a media box because it is upgradable.
