Once you go Active, you never go back.

My previous phone was a S7. I purchased my S8 Active in late December 2017. The S9 Active is faster and its durability is wonderful. I cracked my S7 screen many times and sometimes I feel like this S9 is impossible to break (exaggeration of course). The only con is this may be the last Samsung Active? :( I recommend this phone to everyone I can.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome screen that can't scratch! What?!

I'm writing this review to clear up quite a few bad reviews. The screen does not scratch! The screen protector scratches. Yes, it comes with a factor screen protector, so I replaced mine with a glass one and it doesn't even look like I have a screen protector on it.
Also, it is most definitely water resistant. I have spent hours with it in the water, and my only complaint is it takes a while to dry out the USB port, but good thing I have a giant battery on this thing.
I have dropped this phone a lot of times and I have a few nicks on the edges, but I hate cases so it's worth it. My GF has broken multiple phones, so I had her buy this one and she couldn't be happier. I understand that you can still break the phone, but just look up drop tests on it. You're very unlucky if you break this phone, but it's a phone not a slab of iron.
This also by far the best active design yet because it didn't sacrifice any of the features of the S8--it added features (mainly bigger battery). We have had our phones for over a year and I hope Samsung keeps their Active line going. It's the only reason I haven't switched phones or carriers, so someone at both AT&T and SAMSUNG should realize how valuable these phones are for retaining customers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a Stronger Phone

Before I even made my first payment I accidentally bumped my phone off the coffee table on to the ceramic tile floor. The screen cracked (corner of screen). The damage would have been worse if I had not placed a transparent screen protector over the glass. Now I feel I better get a case for it. THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT OF BUYING THIS PHONE. Supposedly no case or screen protector would be needed. FALSE CLAIM. Also it is difficult taking screen shots with this model. No issue with my previous Galaxy S7. The image of the volume control appears in EVERY screenshot after numerous attempts. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Huge disappointment. I wish I kept my
paid off S7.
paid off S7.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Phone Fail!!

I really liked this phone...I likes the size and the durablility , but unfortunately after having the phone for only (5) months,, the phone failed. I could not answer calls, unless I was on Bluetooth or on speaker phone. The signal was horrible and then the call would just drop. A BIG disappointment!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A disappointment to the Active name
on August 22, 2018

I've had my phone 3 months. I have treated it well considering a very active lifestyle. The screen is fragile and the moisture protection is a joke. It can't even handle a little sweat from a workout.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

High quality - beautiful - solid

I am so happy with the sturdy build of this phone. It's fast and takes great pictures. The battery is amazing. The phone is heavy, but I mean that in a good way, you can just feel that it's durable. I highly recommend the active for people who are out and about.
