No IR Blaster?!?
on August 16, 2017

I used to use my S5 active as a remote for all sorts of different TVs and other devices. I can't do that with the S8 active because it doesn't have an InfraRed blaster.
The battery life is great but other than that this phone is very ho-hum and fairly disappointing.

Great New Model

I started on the Active line of phones last year and this is a great new version. My only gripe is the back isn't as "grabby/rubberized" as last year's model. Now on to the good points. I really like the bigger screen. It's also very durable. I've already dropped it twice on hard floors and not even a scratch. I rarely used the active button on the last version so it changing to Bixby is a "meh" for me. I really like the iris scanner for security on this phone. Works perfectly. I also like that you can pin or unpin the bottom bar on the screen for "open tabs", "home" and "back". This is a great upgrade to the Active line.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Upgrade from S5 Active
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: ILOVEBREAKFASTBURRITOS
from Oklahoma city, ok
I broke a few phone screens before I bought an S5 Active years ago(~3 years ago). It was time for an upgrade. I bought the S8 Active the day it was released in stores. The S5 Active was still in great shape physically but became slow due to upgrades.
Initial Opinion: This phone weighs much more than my S5 Active. Weight is not an issue thpugh. It just feels sturdy, more so than my S5 Active. The screen looks amazing. Higher resolution, higher contrast, wider aspect ratio(in landscape, screen is same width but taller in portriat). The battery is sealed so that the back doesn't pop off when dropped but does not seem to allow for battery replacement, however; battery life is substantially incredible!!! Awesome battery life!!!
The point of buying the Active variant is that you don't need a case or screen protector to make it last, so only time will tell but I feel quite confidant so far.
I would give the S8 Active a 5/5 but I can't until I see or experience some drop tests. My S5 Active was such a tank that I would purposefully drop my phone from waist level when others talked about breaking their screens from minor drops to show how awesome it was.
Will update after drop tests both commercial and personal.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It ok

I still would rather have a physical home key and you cant get glass screen protectors for it because they removed the screen sensitivity settings so you cant up it. As well as an awkward finger print scanner. And my nephew of 14 was jogging fell out of his pocket cracked the screen so they are not that durable. My s7 active flew off my car by accident and not a scratch only had a case. I think i might return the 6 i bought for me and my family and walk away from Samsung sadly i dont want edges and i dont want digital buttons they suckkk.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Active Key

We use these phones for our business and now they have been rendered useless because Samsung locked the active key and we need that key to use ATT Push to talk Feature?
Its no longer an active key its a useless bixby button. SO lame!
