I was looking for a rugged phone, something that would handle my carelessness and abuse especially at work so I brought the s8 active to try out as my previous phone's would last between 5 days to 6 months max..
I've had phone just over 12 months now and I must have dropped it 100 times already in all different terrains and locations especially on the farm. Just last week I was counting bales of hay whilst it was in my hand with a couple other small items, I then turned and jumped into the tractor and away I went to feed some cattle down the track.. I realized my phone wasn't with me an hour later and wondered where the hell I could have dropped it so I back tracked everywhere I had been until I ended up back in the hay bale paddock were I thought I must have dropped it.... and yeap sure enough there it was face down next to a hay bale, long story short lol I had actually run it over with the tractor (maybe 3.5 -4 tons ..! Thinking it was bugged as I go to pick it up and wouldn't you know the phone was good as gold, apart from adding a couple more cracks to the screen as expected it still in fine working order!! A decent tough phone for the working agriculture industry.

I had this phone and the S7 Active before it. Both phones overheated and exploded. I now have an iPhone 11

Obviously the G892A is for AT&T and has their logo and bloatware, whereas the G892U is unlocked. I get that. But is there actually a hardware difference between the two models (e.g. what frequencies bands the radios support)? I'm wondering if I can use a G892U on AT&T and thus reduce bloatware, or if doing so will eliminate some bands of coverage.

walid, 26 Nov 2020why no FM ?The S8 Active does have FM radio...you need to have a 3.5mm headphone jack plugged in to act as an antennae and a fm radio application installed on the phone.

Any chance we get Android 10 update for this? It's still a great phone. I would pay for the upgrade. I'm still wondering why aren't there paid OS for phones anyway. You want it, buy it. Why free, but only 2-3 years? These phones can work 5+ years, no problem. At least for me. I believe one day it will be that way.

The specs state that is no built-in fm radio, and that is wrong. My S8 Active does have an FM radio built in. You use the headphones as an antenna.

Anonymous, 16 Apr 2020Sorry but Samsung stopped updating their S8 Actives it's on... moreI tend to agree..That's why I went from a note 4 to to an Xcover pro plus two more android update for that new phone. I skipped over buying an S8+ / S8 Active or S10+ for more security aspects.

Such an amazing phone! You get all the perfect features possible just like the regular s8, but on top of all that you finally have an ostensibly gigantic battery to match the powerful hardware and, as a result, it becomes a flawless phone

Kayknight, 06 Apr 2020How can I upgrade to OneUI?OneUI is Samsung's branding for its custom UI fork of Android 9+. If you install the OEM Android 9 update, then you have OneUI; it's not separate from the OS update (unless you're installing third-party firmware/OS packages).

Kayknight, 06 Apr 2020How can I upgrade to OneUI?Sorry but Samsung stopped updating their S8 Actives it's only getting security updates at best. You'd be better off finding an Android 10 ROM on XDA Forums or buying a new phone with Android 10.
