After having owned the entire Galaxy line since the original until my current S5, I am definitely moving away from Samsung. My hopes were that, as rumored, they would fit this beast with a 3500 mAh battery, as well as an SD card. Since the santandard S6 battery is so pathetic, for a non removable, the active was my only hope to stay faithful. Really, if I wanted what Samsung is doing, I would have bought an iPhone.

But now for the sake of design it's becoming much too limited and creeping ever closer to the limitations and charging for extra features that the iPhone does.
And the fact is that yes it is a good phone but for the price I shouldn't have to make big compromises and such a shame that they've forced me to look to other manufacturers for a new phone since the Note does do everything I need but is just too big.

AnonD-389805, 30 May 2015Why should I choose to MASSIVELY compromise when my Galaxy ... moreS6 is a HUGE improvement over S5 in so many aspects: looks, speed, screen, memory technology, camera, speaker, fast charging...etc. I have the 64 Gb Edge version and it is a beast.

Well done to Samsung! They r following the likes of have been nokia n motorola. Living on their big repute of a handful of success on alternate years of gd galaxies and being complacent. They think they have a big fan base like Apple but android is pretty open competition. Im still holding on to a S4 Active a pretty darn solid phone that took lotsa abuse. Iv dipped it in saltwater and freshwater for underwater shots for my fishing and recently water leaked in a little after the phone got older n the rubber ring lost some waterproofing, but otherwise operationally unaffected. Latest underwater session, i soaked it in seawater to shoot a video of a fish release n the immediate result was speakers going muted. After a wipedown n leaving it to dry it's fine. After 18mths the charging port plastic cover came off its rubber seal and i cudnt glue it back with success n pulled the entire thing out. Not complaining coz my pal's s5 charging port came off within a year. Hence my s4 active not longer water resistant n im fine with it for afew more mths till i upgrade. Nonetheless the s4 active is one of my best serving phones ever with no hiccups other than usual battery life shortening after a year. My only phone that doesn't need a case n yet looks nice in metallic orange which has its edges scraped off with abuse. I was really keen on another Active but with non removable batt n microsd it seems like i wud be paying for premium price n looks (subjective not really a beauty to me but s6 active looks more robust thatz about it) for a massive downgrade in key features. I already used up 2/3 of my 64gb msd. What a joke to be handicapped with 32gb fixed!!!! Im keeping my options open and the G4 looks to fill the bill n more attractively priced. Hope some heads will fall at Samsung. Paying top execs that have no simple idea what the growing demands or trends of the mobile world. 32gb is really crippling to use with higher pixel pictures n hd quality n beyond videos to store. Therez no loyalty in mobile consumer market. Its either the best tech n looks or price attractiveness. Consumers just move on to the next best thing. If a market leader cant keep up with it. It will just fall behind the pack really fast. This year's Galaxy offerings are a disaster. Hope they have better luck on their Note 5. It wud be a gd bet to see their stock prices dropping with similar consumer sentiment. Hope Ironman n the rest of the Avengers can save Samsung this year.
Samsung hope u guys hear this n wake up coz i do hope to get a Galaxy S7 active but if things dun change this brand can be scratched off the list like my old favorite Nokia before Apple stormed in n won me over briefly. Gd luck to the sales of this year's galaxy S6 sub-active.

Well the official specs were released yesterday and it is exactly the same as the standard S6 so I am officially DONE with Samsung since they've stopped designing the Galaxy S to do everything and following the Apple model of giving just enough and charging for the rest.

When your phone hangs and you wait for 15 minutes but doesn't restart, the only solution is removing the battery. Otherwise, you should wait till your phone completely discharges that could take a day. Google should resolve this issue on Android OS.

This phone has a measly 2550mAh battery yet it is the Active variant of the S6 series. Moving on...

Anemic 2550mAh battery? Add salt to injury: Probably only 32GB alternative - without card-slot AND without USB-host. My interest in this phone just went from 95+ procent likely to buy, to less then 5%.

If battery info is correct, I will be buying elsewhere for my next phone. I have been waiting on this phone, even willing to forego the missing expansion memory... but with a small battery I wont buy it. I need my phone to last all day, or at least the option of changing the battery!

I'm pretty sure that the Active is NOT the exact same size as the regular S6. It simply makes no sense.
