    My first smart phone

    This is my first ever smart phone and I think its one of the best on the market. I have been a samsung phone owner for years I just upgraded from the rugby 2 and before that I had the 707 sync and both of those where great phones. I have had my phone a month now but the ease of use and quality is great. It has so many features I might not have discovered yet but will soon. Samsung is always number one in my book when buying phones or tvs

    Run everywhere with it, rain or sun, it still goes! Just in case it falls or drops, it will be safe.

    I am very rough with phones, so the active seemed to be the best choice. It's a good phone, but not as good as the s6 plus or note.

    I milked as much as I could out of my Samsung Galaxy 3 before the constant turning off and restarting drove me nuts. I was looking at the Galaxy 5 but decided on this 6 Active since it had a majority of the features I was looking for and had the sturdy case that eliminated the need to buy one. The memory is great as is the water proof case. The phone has exceeded my expectations over the last month since I upgraded.

    Wanted a phone with a sturdy frame that didn't really require me to go to an Otterbox class case to protect it. It's pretty hardy. Survived a few drop tests, the outer frame is solid. I would still recommend a Rhino sheet or such for a screen protector. The glass is solid but like anything subject to scratches or wear over time and the screen protector can be replaced more cheaply than getting a new screen.

    This is actually my first smart phone. I was familiar and used to operating android based tablets so rather learn the iPhone I went with the Active S6. I chose the Active because I want it last, I do not like learning to use new phones nor paying for new phones. I have only had this phone for a month now but I have no complaints, it is a quality product and so far I have not encountered any issues.
