    I like a lot about this phone. Durability is excellent. Screen is excellent. Camera is better than any phone cam I have seen. But the email app, the callendar app and the clock apps that come with the phone are all down grades from even the S2 with gingerbread android.

    This phone is well designed. Already put it through a battery of accidental tests that would have killed other phones. I was pleasantly surprised with the speaker quality. Good volume and clarity. I would recommend this phone to anyone even remotely accident prone.

    Great phone. Worth it over the regular s6 for the much longer battery life. The durability is another plus.

    This phone has long battery life, which was my issue with samsung galaxy 3.easy to use. It seems durable but I know me and I bought an awesome protective cover from amazon for $25. Unicorn pro series beetle, not bulky like old otter box, just as strong.

    The Galaxy S6 Active is a great phone with an outstanding camera. The only drawback is that you can't change the battery or add memory like you can with every other Samsung phone i had. if I had those options I would give the phone 5 stars.

    I love the Android operating system. This does so much more than the S3. It is nice and thin and very durable. It comes in its own tough case. Perfect for the active lifestyle and easy to use if you are familiar with the Samsung Androids.

    The phone does what it needs and the CPU is fast when you don't overload it. The camera is great, and obviously having a phone that is water resistant was the biggest feature for me. My last phone was damaged due to water.

    This has the longest battery life I have ever seen. It literally goes above a day of full use and still has charge left. I highly recommend this phone not only for the battery life but also for the water proof rating.

    Very happy with my decision to trade in my Apple I phone 6. Very easy to work and understand all the features. The battery doesn't get as hot as the I phone which makes me very happy! Very durable phone.

    This is my 4th Samsung Galaxy, and my second active. I really like this phone. The camera function is improved, and the phone is slightly larger and lighter. I do not like that phone is sealed, and there is no Micro SD slot. This need to change.

    I have had my Galaxy s6 Active for about a month now and have not been disappointed. The battery is awesome, and though I have a portable charger for just in case, I don't really see myself ever using it! I don't stream videos or play a lot of games, but I do my share of other things and still have 2 days of battery. Would love to test under water, but I don't dare, but folks are saying it does well. The only slight concern to me is that the bluetooth connection is not clear, and I don't think that it is my bluetooth device, but likely the phone. Yes, I'd recommend. It is a little heavy, but that is the price for a bigger battery!

    Quite possibly the best phone I've ever owned. Finally an "active" version that isn't watered down from the standard version. It's basically everything the Galaxy S6 should have been. The videos and pictures this thing can capture are simply breathtaking. A friend of mine has the Galaxy S5 and is also compatible with AT&T's "HD audio". At first I thought it was just a gimmick but once I heard it in a real phone conversation, I was blown away. Seriously, if you're even considering buying this phone, just get it!

    We have had iPhone's for the past 6-7 years and finally had enough with the poor performance of late. She loves this phone and has had a previous android phone so she easily adapted whereas it took me a little getting used to; however, we definitely "upgraded" by buying this phone. It still has a few quirks and I'm still getting used to it, but it blows the iPhone out of the water. I'm still amazed by the picture quality too. The screen is crystal clear. Definitely a good purchase.

    I needed to replace my phone and researched several options. Once I decided to go with Samsung, this phone was actually not on my radar, but when I went to look at the available models, the Active caught my attention because of the fact that it is water resistant. I like to work/play on my phone while I float in the pool and the Active was a great option, just in case I drop my phone. The sales person showed me a video he had taken with his Active under the water! So far I love the phone, have found it pretty easy to use and can't wait for summer to return to try it near the water!

    This phone has been easy to use and a major upgrade from my previous LG. The camera is awesome and so far it seems to be pretty tough. Hopefully it'll last the 2 years it takes to pay it off through ATT.

    This phone is what I wanted from a phone. Long battery, fast, and protected. Haven't had any troubles with it other than sometimes it slows down disabling some apps help with that. Overall great phone.
