    Had this phone for 2 years. It has held up really good. Battery is lagging now but that is to be expected.

    I absolutely love this phone I can't believe how amazing it is I've had the 6 active for the past 2 years, and what a major upgrade I'm waiting for the 9 active so I got this one on the next plan with AT&T. I love the biometrics availability and Bixby is pretty cool I'm still learning how to use it LOL but the phone feels great in my hands it's got a lot of amazing qualities and if you haven't upgraded yet I suggest you do

    I got my wife the same phone in gold and she loved it so much that i decided to trade in my old S5 active and get this, I do miss the three physical buttons at the bottom but i'm getting used to it. my problem is that i keep hitting the home key instead of space bad.

    Fits perfect and I can still have my phone grip adhere to it for easier handling. I had one before but after a year or two, it was getting discolored but did the job of saving my phone since I tend to have the dropsies.

    I will never use this phone to its full capabilities. It has so much to offer. I am constantly finding new things and new ways of doing things with this phone. I do not need a computer this phone does everything for me.

    Replaced my Galaxy Edge with the Active, after dropping the Edge a mere 2 feet and smashing the screen this phone holds up to the "rough and tumble" of my grandkids.
