It's a tank and a Ferrari in a cellphone.

I've had this phone for almost 2 years now. I've dropped it over 50 times now, all of them with enough velocity to shatter an iPhone. Mind you I've never had a case on this phone. The outer metal casing is covered in scratches and dents as the lions in Africa are covered in battle scars. I use this phone all day long every day. I have it loaded with Flac music files and location services turned on. I use GPS all night because I deliver pizza. The huge battery is still enough to get me through the work day without dying when I turn screen detail down to hd+. The type of gorilla glass they used on the screen is amazing. I have deep dents and scratches on the screen but the s8 active doesn't even flinch. Performance is still 100% even with over 100 google chrome tabs open at a time. I AM SAD that they are not making an s10 active. I will have to buy the note 10 and use an ugly screen protector and case. Nothing can replace the daily comfort that this phone provides. Now that I think of it. I might just buy another S8 active when this one dies. It should last a very long time though. Photography is amazing in this phone aswell.
I have had a Galaxy S8 Active for almost 2 years now and I could not be happier. It has been wet, it has been dropped, thrown, rolled on tile corner to corner across the office dropped flat on the glass slipped out of my hand and fallen over 6 feet to the floor, full of sand and more. It has a few scuffs on the case but works beautifully. I brag about it to anyone who will listen or is standing around with a broken screen. Keep up the great work Samsung this is how durable a phone should be.
I have had this phone about 9 months. My son dropped it from less than 2 feet and the screen shattered. I spent the money to buy this phone because I had previously had an earlier version of the active that lasted me a few years before breaking. I have often told people that the active is the perfect phone for a mom because it is kid resistant. However, this version was a disappointing waste of money.
This is the best version of the S8 you can buy. I will always recommend the Active series over the regular S for the long battery life, durability, and flat screen.. I'm not sure why the prices are still so high when you can buy the S9+ for $300 less now. Also, why are there reviews of the Sprint version of the phone on the Tmobile version here? I've had the phone for over a year and have had zero problems with the Tmobile version. Call quality is great on Tmobile.
