Howdy guys, would anyone know if Samsung s8 active will work in Asia if I buy an unlocked device in the the US?
I don't understand Samsung limiting this device to the US market.
Thanks

I'll vouch for water resistance, shock resistance, I can't prove dust resistance (since I'm not in a dusty environment), but I can say with 100% certainty that the screens on these phones SUCK. And almost NOBODY will repair it, and not for less than $325. Before you ask, yes, I have a case with a raised bevel.
Functionally, the phone is a beast. Great camera, memory, speed, battery, etc. Good luck being able to use it for very long if you don't keep it in a magic case.
Why have a phone with all this power if the glass is so thin it chips and spiderwebs at a minimal drop?
I had an iPhone 5s and was happy to make the switch because, well, I despise the proprietary Apple business acumen. However, that iPhone 5s took several years of abuse and never had so much as a scratch on it.

I like the phone, the weight, the specs are good enough for daily use and the battery is SPOT ON! When the phone is in my pocket all day, hanging on my belt or very seldom to my ear since I'm a Bluetooth user and looks or aesthetics are of no concern because I could care less what a phone looks like or what other people know I'm using as long as it does what I need.... Long story short 4000mAh battery, 3.5mm jack, and expandable memory? make this a phone worth using

Even LG lugged design is still better option but I am more interested to Sony because the design is absolutely unique and gorgeous!

It is all about rugged design that will sustain drops, fall, or impact. There is a reason why is there are bumpers in the corners as well less screen to body ratio compare to S8 (means more bezels) since more glass = more to break and S8 active removed the infinity screen so that upon impact, the side metal would absorb the force rather than the glass. Simple as that.

Do you remember the Samsung S5 back cover is so weird then now the S8 Active? I know you hard to accept it, but this is the truth. I admit Samsung S8 actually better look than S8 Active, but the S8 Active's 4 corners actually should not design like that because it is ugly like a sink/bezel. The S8 Active back cover design should be more simplicity but I thought Samsung will never learn it, I think it is the marketing strategy to keep S8 have more competitive compared to S8 Active, without bias do you think am I right?
