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!!!

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.

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.

G-Canary, 13 Sep 2017Using the S6 Active 1 and a half year already and can say it's the best phone for me personall... moreThe 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).

Sopr4no, 16 Jun 2017Witch phone should I go, LG V10 or Samsung Galaxy S6 Active?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
