Anonymous, 28 Oct 2017I have just purchased the phone. I have read all the comme... moreI'd want it with a nice case to further protect it and the built-in protection because even though the phone is basically made with a case, that non-removable case can get messed up in no short time, plus there are still reports of broken glass, so extra protection is needed. Also, I wish Samsung (and others) would stop the madness or region-locking phones by disabling bands.

IMO, the mistake made by Samsung since the S4 Active was not making an optional "Active Case", as was available for the S4 Active. I found mine purely by mistake and hands down, this is the best addition to these phones. I've dropped mine numerous times with no damage. Plus it's cheap- 10-15 Euros and gives those who want it extra protection with a minimal size penalty. Combined with some hardened glass protector, it's superb and one reason I still stay with this old phone. I know the phones have built-in ruggedization on the cases, but falls damage the bumpers and don't provide the most protection for the phone.

I have just purchased the phone.
I have read all the comments and I have my own opinion.
You have the S8 with a built in case and a big battery. Really what else can someone ask for?
If you buy this phone thinking it is an S8 then your wrong. You will get out of this phone what it is and what it brings to the table over the S8 and if that suits you then it will be the right phone for you.
I have had a S8 and now I am using a S8+ until I copy all my info over and neither battery lasts a day for me. I love the screen and the phone it's self but the battery and the fact of being nervous if I drop it with the lack of bezel on the screen.
Hopefully the S8 active will last the day and the design of the phone is more what I want out of a phone.
Again it is a personal choice of what phone to use but so many people get a phone to just put on the tables next to their keys to show off rather than what a phone can do for you and what they were designed to do.

i just purchased the active 8 and it sucks. the physical body is designed all wrong.
my active 6 took a beating and was still in great shape. it weighs more and the screen is marginally bigger.
I dropped this phone once and it has two cracks on the glass.
the sides are very slippery and the rubber grip is only on the corners. who grabs their phone on the corners and they also changed the charger so now I have to spend another 100 bucks to have the same charger in everyplace I go why????

I have had this phone for 1 month. Loved it until 2 days ago. My boyfriend and daughter had been trying to call me but they texted me and said it went straight to voice mail. So when I tried to return their calls, each time I tried the call immediately dropped without even sending it. I restarted my phone. I was able to call my boyfriend, but then tried to call my daughter and it dropped immediately again. I restarted my phone and it let me call her. Well she forgot to tell me something during our conversation and tried to call me right back, but it went straight to VM again. She texted me this, I tried to call her, it dropped, I restarted my phone again. You see the picture. This has not stopped and my phone will not receive calls at all without a restart, but if they don't call me right after the restart, the same thing happens all over again. I am taking it to AT&T tomorrow but it doesn't sound good. Mentally preparing to have to send my phone back for warrenty, or at least swapping for a new phone (I hope)....but am now sceptical that this could happen again with a replacement galaxy S8 active. Otherwise....I love my phone. Hate that this is happening.

Anonymous, 10 Sep 2017Got one, was looking forward to it, turned itself off after... moreThat sounds like the reason why it hasn't been released globally yet.

If Samsung releases a dual sim variant of this phone, it would be a great hit.......
