Samsung Galaxy S7 was the 2016 iteration of Samsung’s top of the line Galaxy phone.
The Design
Attractiveness was obviously not at the top of the agenda when Samsung Galaxy S6 Active was being constructed. Its Korean maker preferred a ‘tough guy’ look – some models even have a military camouflage design. The phone is a bit thicker, taller, wider and heavier than the Galaxy S6.
It features a metal-looking body made of tough plastic. Samsung Galaxy S6 Active is designed to pass U.S. MIL-STD 810G testing for ruggedness. It has an IP68 rating for water-resistance and is well protected against dust and shock. It can withstand a fall from 1.2 metres.
Display and Cameras
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active flaunts a stunning 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a Quad HD resolution that makes images come out brighter and clearer, even in low-light conditions. Movie watching on this device will be a simply superb experience.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active is decked out with an impressive 16-megapixel rear-facing camera with Auto HDR which offers excellent performance as the original Galaxy S6. You also get an equally awesome 5-megapixel front-facing shooter for selfies and video calling.
Power and Performance
It is powered by an octa-core, 64-bit Exynos 7420 processor, which is paired with ample 3GB of RAM. The CPU offers solid and highly responsive performance, loading apps and firing up cameras at ultra-fast speeds.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active runs on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop software, which is coated with the phone maker’s TouchWiz UI. A bigger 3500mAh battery, which Samsung says supplies the ‘power of three,’ provides juice needed to enjoy the phone’s solid performance.
