Smartphones Don't Get More Utilitarian Than Samsung's Galaxy S6 Active

Description

The Galaxy S6 Active is the phone for anyone who was upset when Samsung traded durability and water-resistance for thinness, metal and glass. Samsung's Active-branded smartphones have always been about ruggedness and the S6 Active is no different; it's built like a tank. Its edges are fortified with thick bumpers and the three buttons below the screen are sealed to prevent any particles from seeping in. The phone's dust-proof, shock-resistant and water-resistant enough that it can survive a day at the beach, a four-foot drop down a hill and a dunk in a river (or toilet) for up to 30 minutes. As you can see in our real-life "torture" tests in the video above, the phone's really, really tough.

The Galaxy S6 Active is the Tank of All Samsung Smartphones

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active is the same great device as the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge — it's just way more rugged and water-resistant. But the best tech spec of them all is easily the battery: This phone is packing a 3,500 milliamp-hour battery. In comparison, the Galaxy S6's battery holds a mere 2,500 mAh. As per its branding, the S6 Active, is, well, tough. It's dust-proof, shock-resistant and water-resistant with an IP68 rating. These are all things the slender and fragile Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge isn't. The shock resistance also means you can drop this thing from four feet up and it'll still survive.
