BEST PHONE EVER IF YOUR ACTIVE!

BEST PHONE EVER IF YOUR ACTIVE!
I have dropped from ladders, dropped on tile, concrete and even accidentally dropped-kicked it being too much in a rush. I use the unicorn beetle case and never even a scratch.
Truly, the most rugged phone ever!!!

I loved this phone and it failed me.

I brought this phone in 6/2018. Loved it. No issues, great pictures. No problems. Then today, the day before a huge event where I need my phone. It just stopped working. Turns out the battery is swollen. Took it to three repair centers. One could fix it. One said it could not be fixed. The third said Samsung does not supply replacement parts for the active. Because the phone is so could, I got rid of my landline. Now I have no workable phone. (Sigh). So trying tomorrow to bring to a Samsung service station. Hopefully they can replace the battery. If not I have to buy a new phone and figure out how to get stuff off this one. So annoyed right now. Not even 2 years old.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can't Get Much Better

I have had this phone for over a year and I can easily say it's the best phone I've ever had. The #1 I appreciate so much about the S8 active is the battery life! I work 10 hour days, 6 days a week usually and I use my phone a lot at work (phone calls, camera, texting, browsers, and socials media apps on my breaks). I almost always leave work with about 40 to 50 % battery remaining without charging it all day.
I have used a Zagg Invisible Shield glass+ on my screen for the entire time I've had it and the screen itself is in perfect condition under that glass. I would recommend if you buy this phone or any phone really, the glass you use with it needs to cover everything except the front speaker because my front camera got really scratched and now it takes relatively bad quality front camera pictures. I would have to say that the camera quality is the worst part about this phone (and all Samsung phones that I've had) for both the front and back cameras. Apple has us beat on that front.
I have also used a Pelican case the entire time I've had this phone. I understand the point of the S8 active was that it doesn't need a case but frankly I don't like any scratches on my phone. The case is in rough shape now and I would recommend Pelican for this phone but I'll save that for a different review.
The fingerprint scanner placement could not be more perfect in my opinion. Also the heart rate monitor was such a good idea and I hope Samsung continues to do that. I heavily recommend the Samsung Health app. I use it all the time for my workouts and calorie counting.
I will miss this phone when I have to upgrade!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Turns itself off

I've had this phone awhile never liked the fact there is no cover on the charging port it's a giant pain. I guess new update because the phone now turns itself off if it thinks there is a problem with the charging port like lent. Making it impossible to depend on this phone for any alarm or notification. Pretty much making the phone worthless because you can't depend on it to charge it's no longer reliable in any situation
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had this phone for about two years now and it's the best phone I've owned to date. Love the style and overall quality. The durability is unlike anything I've experienced in a cell phone. I hope they bring back the Active with the newer models. Please!
I would recommend this to a friend!
