it's a beefy brick with a spotty history and an overachieving sibling so how does samsung's latest active hold up the answer in PocketNow 62nd smartphone review starting right now so here's what's hot the active brings milspec and ip68 organization to go with it stuff looks meaning it can handle impact heat drowning cold and almost any other danger it's likely to encounter it's got the beautiful display and fantastic camera that made the galaxy s6 so popular and it's got a battery that can outlast many other phones on the market here's what's not hot Samsung ditched the fingerprint scanner to toughen up the home keys and that makes the phone turn on more easily in a pocket to the speaker is rear firing and takes a long time to dry out and so does the USB port which leads to weird situations sometimes also the software is still a little wonky in general and it's an AT&T exclusive here in the States so you might need to switch carriers to get it the upshot this is the best active Samsung's ever made and it's one of the best rugged phones available period if you're more concerned with endurance and durability than looks this should be very near the top of your smartphone shopping list for eight more minutes on the Galaxy s6 active check out our video review here on YouTube and our full review at pocketnow.com and follow like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video till next time this has been michael fisher with pocket now captain to phones on twitter thanks for watching and we'll see you next time
