The Galaxy S6 Active costs $694 without a commitment of any type and that number drops to $199 when signing a two-year contract with AT&T. The carrier also has its AT&T Next payment plan to split the cost of the Galaxy S6 Active across twelve, eighteen, o...
Many ask why we need an Active variant of the Galaxy S6 or any other Samsung flagship? Because it's rugged. The Galaxy S6 features paired with a much larger battery, and waterproofing. Much like the Xperia Z4 or Xperia Z3+, there's no flap on the micro...
Water and shock resistant construction, Incredibly long lasting battery life, microUSB port has been treated for liquid contact, Camera captures amazing photos and videos, Strong earpiece volume, Accurate Super AMOLED display
Less appealing looking design, Activity Zone still lacks any serious usefulness, Still no expandable storage, Average call quality
When the Samsung Galaxy S6 was announced, we were astounded by the new, premium design – a stark departure from previous efforts. In the process, though, the S5's water resistant quality was left out, in favor of a more premium finish. Still, while we wer...

There's a whole lot to love about the Galaxy S6 Active. If you're not about the elegant look of the Galaxy S6/Edge and you want the utility of a device with three extra hardware buttons. the Active is the device for you.We wouldn't be surprised if Samsung...
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active's long-lived battery and resistance to water, dust and scuffs make it more appealing than the regular Galaxy S6. Its shortcut button conveniently launches two different apps of your choice
Built of plastic with thick edging, the S6 Active isn't a particularly attractive device, certainly not as glamorous as metal or glass phones. No expandable storage option means you're locked to 32GB
AT&T customers looking for a sturdier handset will find the Galaxy S6 Active a worthy upgrade to an already top-caliber phone...
The S6 is power hungry, with an ultra high-res display and super-fast processor. Luckily, the 3500mAh battery is a beast. Even with heavy use, you'll easily get a day and a half out of it. In Power Saving Mode, which dims the screen and slows processor sp
Even in simplified form, TouchWiz remains vastly inferior to stock Android. It's presence also reduces the frequency and speed with which operating system updates are available; it's already a little bit behind, since it doesn't come with the latest Andro
Probably not. A case would make any phone of your choice more rugged and more waterproof while allowing you to avoid TouchWiz and AT&T and possibly even giving you more upmarket looks.But, if you like Samsung, can live with the looks and don’t want to jus...
Water and dust resistant. Rugged but not overly bulky or heavy. Significantly higher battery capacity than GS6 standard models
Just like the standard GS6, no removable battery or microSD card slot
If you're a klutz or work in a field where rugged devices make sense, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active is a no-brainer. You get all the goodness of the S6, from super performance to a fantastic Super AMOLED QHD display to one of the best cameras on the market...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active on AT&T. This is the rugged version of the Galaxy S6, and it has a hard plastic outer shell rather than fragile glass. It's rated MIL-STD-810G for water resistance down to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes, and...
Water resistant and dustproof, Same camera as Galaxy S6, Nearly identical specs, too, Extra long battery life
Camo colors are ugly, No microSD card slot, No fingerprint sensor, AT&T only
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active's reinforced hard plastic is the humvee to the Galaxy S6's fragile, sports car-like frame. It's fun to use underwater and has a long battery life, but the camo colors are ugly and it's only on AT&T...
