Toughest phone ever!

my husband and I bought our practice 2 years ago. It has been by far the best phone we've ever owned. Samsung were a little upset and disappointed that you are not making a newer better version with the same caliber. My husband and I are not phone aficionados who need all the bells and whistles with the next newest thing. We just need durability and functionality. And this phone has it all. We absolutely love the long lasting battery life and the toughness of this phone! It truly can take anything. I am amazed at how many times I've dropped my phone, on concrete no less, and have cringed as I see it in slow motion tumbling to the ground and instantly think 'oh gosh now I need a new phone'! But nope I pick it up and nothing is wrong with it Every. Single. Time. We absolutely love this phone, but we wish there was a newer model out there as everyone does like to upgrade and it would be nice to do so. Samsung make another military grade phone people will buy it! I love Samsung products!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Drop proof metal phone

Surfing the net while sleepy I would drop it almost every night. I took the cover off a year ago so I can charge wirelessly and still it doesn't have a crack or scuff the gold paint is intact. The phone is still fast and I have no complaints. As far as value goes I THINK, I paid $50 more for the active which comes constucted in metal and it's well worth the $50. If Samsung makes a Galaxy S11 Active I would buy it in a heartbeat.

This phone is extremely durable with or without a cover. It works like any other cell phone out there. Two thumbs up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Anywhere you hold the phone, pocket, bag, it opens new apps always. It is not because of viruses and if you have it on max security, it will open new apps. An obnoxious phone to have. The J7 was a more tech reliable phone. The active has very good pictures, but not something that should make anyone buy a phine
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unbelieveable!!!

I was issued the Galaxy S8 for my job as a Government Heavy Mobile Mechanic and was not happy to have the responsibility and financial obligation for it if it were damaged. I've had it with me in every situation and weather, crawling, climbing, grease covered hands, construction sites, swamps, snow, hurricane rains. No case and its still works perfectly, with no added care to protect it in my pocket. last week while changing hydraulic fluid on an excavator, the phone fell from my pocket into a 20 gallon tank of Hydraulic fluid. I had to reposition myself to reach into the tank and get it, about 20-30 seconds before pulling it out. I wiped it off, used my air compressor to blow it out and low and behold it no issues. it never missed a step, not a single issue to this point 8 days later. I will be purchasing this phone for my personal, never buying a iPhone again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is a SURVIVOR!!

I've had the "Active" version of Galaxy since the Galaxy 5 or 6, and it's the best decision ever! I work in the field often, and have fun in the outdoors often as well.
This phone has survived falls from moving trucks, falling and spending 1.5 hour in the shore where the waves break and curl inwards in the beach (which was quite rocky), full days in boat outings, falling on (and dipping into) the snow (including rolling down with me while snowboarding), being turned into a makeshift toy car and dragged around the floor by a toddler; and many, many random falls form my clumsy hands.
This is the definition of sturdy! If you need a phone that can endure harsh conditions, both natural and human-made, this is your phone.

So many times i have accidentally bumped, dropped, or splashed my phone with no worry that it was beyond repair. I am so very thankful that Samsung has made this type of phone available. Please SAMSUNG always keep this option available!
