The only issue I have is when calling into voice mail and entering the passcode, the screen blanks out for a second. It still works so no real issue. The fingerprint sensor is a little bit awkward, but other than that it works great. All other aspects are great!
I've been using the phone for the past week. I love it so far. I upgraded from a note 4. I couldn't jump to a curved screen. I love the durability of this phone!!!!!
Microphone fades out and I have to use speaker. Navigation while on a call to get back to dial pad or options is a mess. Bluetooth unreliable. Horribly confusing between samsung apps, att apps and android apps. Can't get many key features promoted by samsung to work. Screen mirroring to samsung tv unreliable. Ads popping up automatically and I cannot get them off.
i started out with the rugby pro and was highly impressed with it even ran it over in my driveway by accident with a ram 1500 with the screen on the concrete and didnt do anything to it from that point i've been hooked on the durability of samsung's outdoor oriented phones. the s7 active ran and still does run like a champ despite being dropped on concrete, asphalt, or gravel on a daily basis and the only thing that happened was a few discoloration lines appeared in the screen. so far the s8 active has been going strong very responsive, very clean picture, haven't had any heating issues, it's almost like a slightly bigger, improve s7 active. if samsung keeps up with these tough phones this line will always be my number 1 choice.
The only thing I'm not enthused about is the new charger port not being the universal mini. Otherwise, the battery is far better than any other previous smartphone I've had, the camera is solid, the lack of rounded edges is appealing, and Bixby is pretty cool too.
It's a good phone, works well on my thing that's not good about it is that the screen scratched extremely easily. Dust particles scratch the screen, I don't think that should happen with the active, the active are known for their durability.
Phone is awesome. Has a lot more apps already instead but a lot easier to stop it or remove them if you don't like them. Camera quality is just plan amazing. It's like using a Cannon but much easier.
