This year's Galaxy S6 viewed a significant redesign, one that's very acclaimed and showed to everybody that the South Korean company recognizes ways to create premium mobile phones. While the brand-new, exceptional nature of the Galaxy S6 is a new direction, it looses one of the essential design high qualities provided by its precursor-- a water resistant improvement. For a moment there, we believed that waterproof designs would become a staple feature for Sammy's flagship line, however alas, that's not the case.

Considering that the S4, nonetheless, we've seen Sammy introducing its Energetic line, which materializes in the form of rugged versions of its crown jewel phones. So, if you were bummed by the S6 abandoning a water resistant building, after that you'll certainly be pleased to discover it below once more with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Energetic. Not just that, yet the phone is built like a tank-- so fear not if you drop it!


There are some benefits with the Active, naturally, along with some compromises also, which we'll visit in detail through the review. Internally, the Active shares numerous of the specs of the S6, however superficially on the outside, it's an entirely different smartphone.

Design 

At a glimpse, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active looks significantly like last year's model, one that discusses the same difficult remodel. Contrasting it to the S6, though, there's no suggesting that the S6 Energetic is suggested to stand up to severe penalty-- whereas with the S6, its premium construction sort of makes it delicate.

Sporting that all as well foreseeable sturdy style, it's plainly within exactly what we 'd expect out of a challenging smartphone. A lot of the physical body is made up out of tough plastic, broken down to a rubbery distinctive camouflage back pattern and a tougher matte framework summarizing the sides. Superficially, it looks almost like a specific facsimile to last year's Energetic, yet this one is a closed design-- so there's no detachable back cover to access its battery. Highlighting its tough type are the screws located near the edges of the phone.

Many thanks to its IP68 ranking, it implies that this bad boy is indicated to take care of almost anything that day-to-day life has to throw at us. For that reason, that means it's shock immune, dirt proof, as well as water immune around 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes-- the vital elements in providing it that stronger protection than the S6. One less point to bear in mind: you'll be pleased to recognize that Samsung has improved the design, due to the fact that there's not need to cover the microUSB port with a flap. Instead, you'll discover that the port is wide open, however there's no concern in dipping it in water since the port has been treated to be water resistant.

During our review, we dropped it into concrete pavement by crash, leading to some obvious scuffs along the plastic exterior sidings of the phone. Real to its claim, it endured the autumn, yet the downside in this is that being excellent looking isn't going to be on the first for this.

Cosmetically, however, it's merely a very ordinary 'rugged' looking phone much like every little thing else available. Certain, Sony has improved the recipe for developing a costs looking phone that's water immune, yet Sammy's position is much more type compared to function-- and also to that level, they prosper. It won't victory any awards for layout, clearly, yet nonetheless, its strong improvement enhances it with architectural integrity to endure all the unpredictability of life.

Were you not a fan of those capacitive Android buttons on S6? Well, the S6 Energetic now employs only bodily Android switches for that true, tactile reaction. Unfortunately, there's no hands print sensor whatsoever with this, so not only exists no choice for unlocking the phone by means of finger print, yet it will not benefit from Samsung Pay either. Various other minor changes consist of a nanoSIM slot (no SIM removal tool necessary), 3.5 mm headphone jack rearranged to the top edge, and also the speaker put on the rear end of the phone.

At the same time, as well, the S6 Energetic continuous supply a few of the S6's staple features-- like its heart rate sensor to gauge our rhythm, quick demanding micro USB 2.0 port, and also cordless charging. Despite the fact that there's still no expandable storage with this, it obtains welcomed to an even heftier sized 3500 mAh battery. While the power switch and volume controls are in their usual areas on the sides of the phone, there's one more button discovered above the quantity controls-- it's the Energetic key. Much more on that particular later on!
