Awesome new design

I love this new S6 Active. I bought the S4 Active the day it came out on sale. Really big jump from that, of course it's been almost two years. This new model does not have a removable battery or expandable storage. As far as storage though I've gotten quite used to the free storage I get through the cloud. As far as I can tell so far this S6 active has all the technology and hardware of the regular s6 versions other then the finger print sensor. This model has a bigger battery which should translate to more time before I need to charge but I've only had this phone for one day so I can't comment on its battery life yet other then it's already better then the battery life of my s4 Active by a long shot. Very quick response time on launching apps and I really like the cameras improvement and quality of pictures as compared to my s4. I bought the InvisibleShield and Incipio case for it which were already avaliable on its first day of launch yesterday. Another super great new feature is that the charging flap is gone. I took really good care of my S4 Active's charging flap and it never failed but it was annoying to need to have to remove it carefully and seal it carefully at every charge. I bought the white camo version and am loving it. Now my wife wants one too. I'm going today to go get her one. I hope this review helps those of you that need to know more about the features that are not mentioned. By the way this model also does indeed have the heart rate sensor. Haven't tried it in water yet but if it's anything like my S4 Active I shouldn't have any problems. The Samsung Rep even said I can use it in salt water(at the beach) just like the S5 Active but it must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water afterwards. Anyways like I said hope this helps I'm of to get another one.

Love everything but not enough storage to keep it
10 years ago
I have been waiting for this phone for about 4 months and I was so excited. It's got an amazing camera that's much better than my S5, great Video, and it's much faster performance wise. Great battery life too. It's very snappy. It also just feels really good in my hand. Love how thin it is for a waterproof phone.
So I can live with a fixed battery and no SD card slot but I can't live with the 32gb storage. It's just too small for what I'm use to. You get the phone with around 23gb of free space so that's not a lot for someone like me that stores movies on my phone, shoot's lots of vids and takes lot's of pics. I was really hoping that they would offer a 64gb and 128gb option but it looks like they won't offer those options. I liked this phone so much in the store that I came home to see if I could live with only 23gb but I can't. I was going to take the videos on my phone now and just watch them online but I spend a lot of time in remote areas with poor internet access so that's not an option. So now I'm unsure what to do because I really wanted a water resistant phone.
Please ATT and Samsung come out with at least a 64gb model.

Hate it!
9 years ago
This phone has nothing but issues. Constantly freezes, apps crash and restarts itself even with lots of battery percentage left. Has been in Otterbox since purchased so no issue there. Sometimes when trying to text it will freeze up and letters will be giant blocks and message will be typed several times over. My brother has same phone and same issues. Don't waste your money. Switching back to iPhone. :(
No, I do not recommend this product.

Not really for the active, don't waste the $$
9 years ago
Phone seemed good for a while until it fell out of my pocket. Shattered the screen immediately. Don't waste your money on the "active" version as it makes no difference. It had some good features but it's worthless now that it's shattered. Too bad....
No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: Is the galaxy S6 active MHL compatible?
9 years agoOriginally posted on Samsung Galaxy S6 active - 32GB - Gray
1 Answer
- A: Hello Nytro! I can definitely understand the desire for an MHL compatible device! Being able to stream your phone to your TV using a cable would be extremely useful! At this time, the Samsung Galaxy S6 series of devices do not offer the MHL standards from its USB port or any other direct video output. There is however, a screen mirroring feature built into the Galaxy S6 series of phones that will allow you to screen share your phone to your TV, provided you have the necessary requirements. You can read more about Screen Mirroring here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/skp/faq/1084596. Hope this helps out! Brandon, AT&T Community Specialist9 years agoHelpful?
Q: If the Samsung Galaxy s6 Active doesn't have a slot for a sim card, if I order one online, how do I activate it since I can't put my sim card in it?
9 years agoOriginally posted on Samsung Galaxy S6 active - 32GB - Gray
1 Answer
- A: Greetings Victoriarhae12, Awesome question! The good news is that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active does have a SIM tray. You’ll be able to check out https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tutorial.html#!/interactive/id/interactive_1500006864?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG890A for the step-by-step guide on how to remove and insert the SIM card. One of the great things about purchasing a device from us is that it’ll automatically come with a SIM card. No need to go the extra mile to get one! But, if you do need a SIM card I recommend obtaining one that’s specific to the device make and model. I invite you to order one online at https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/simcards.html or to visit a local AT&T store near you. Once you’ve obtained a new SIM card and inserted it, you’ll be able to activate it online using the guide here: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1008711 . Thanks for your inquiry and have a good one! Rocco, AT&T Community Specialist9 years agoHelpful?
Q: Does this phone screen withstand drops on the concrete?
9 years ago1 Answer
- A: Hello there Pondering, Thank you for posting your question! I have looked into this and did not find any test results which showed what type of impacts will or will not damage the device. This is what I found on Samsung’s website regarding the Samsung Galaxy S6 active “This device passed military specification (MIL-STD-810G) testing against a subset of 20 specific environmental conditions, including temperature, dust and sand, shock/vibration, and low pressure/high altitude. Device may not perform as shown in all extreme conditions. Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP68 rating, which tests submersion up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes.” You can connect directly with Samsung, by visiting http://www.samsung.com/us/support/ and choose the way to connect with Samsung. They will be able to better answer your device specification questions. Thanks, Rocco, AT&T Community Care9 years agoHelpful?
