I received my phone right after it came out loved it, hubby even liked it and got one fast forward we got a forced update now it is freezing up will not let us answer changed everything around and the app icons looks like they got them off a child's phone. They just did another update and haven't had a issue with freezing up but now my volume keeps turning off for phone calls and text messages. Now I hate it and will be going with a different brand of phone.
I had the Active 7 and it was bulletproof. Replaced it with the Active 8 because the 7's battery started to aggressively diminish - was so bad it was down to about an hour (unacceptable - but another story - probably planned obsolescence/software trickery)
So got the Active 8, was very happy with it for the first 4 months until my daughter dropped it maybe a total of 3 inches from her hand to the cup holder in my car and the screen cracked- Not a very impressive performance around ruggedization.
Hopefully Samsung corrects this fragility in its next version. Buyer beware on this one.
I've been using this phone for 2yrs now and it's still going strong! Dropped hundreds of times set on daily (i carry it in back pocket) never had a case for it either or screen cover. Water proof! Has been to the bottom of a 4 ft pool atleast 6 times and washed off in the sink more time than i can count. Battery still last 12-14hrs. Although usb C charge port is getting bad i just wireless charge it now. Games work well apps work well and nightly netfix are great to. Overall the best phone ive ever had. Left my new iphone x and went back to my galaxy s8 active!
