Water resistant and dustproof ; Same camera as Galaxy S6 ; Nearly identical specs, too ; Extra long battery life

Camo colors are ugly ; No microSD card slot ; No fingerprint sensor ; AT&T only

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active's reinforced hard plastic is the humvee to the Galaxy S6's fragile, sports car-like frame. It's fun to use underwater and has a long battery life, but the camo colors are ugly and it's only on AT&T.

Excellent performance. Top-notch display and camera. Great battery life. Rugged, waterproof build.

Middling call quality. No fingerprint scanner.

Conclusions The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active will appeal greatly to those who didn't find anything wrong with last year's Galaxy S5. It trades metal and glass for more durable plastic and waterproofing, beauty be damned. And the beefed-up battery will help...

If you want a Galaxy S6 with better battery life and armored to withstand just about any environment or abuse you can throw at it the Galaxy S6 Active is an awesome smartphone. Unfortunately it's an AT&T exclusive.

Tough, rugged exterior removes the need for a case. Outstanding battery life. The same great hardware as the Galaxy S6, including an awesome display and camera, and top-notch performance.

Rugged design isn’t a sleek as the metal Galaxy S6 body. No microSD card slot, and just 32 GB of internal storage. Hard to find outside the United States.

There is a lot to like about the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, and for a certain subset of the population, it might be an even better choice than the already-fantastic
