The difference of an Active compared to a standard S6 is in terms of durability.

It also has three navigation keys unlike a S6 where it is all touch screen. The screen size is 5.1 inches and it has the same processing power of a standard S6. All of the hardware for an Active is identical to a S6 counterpart which includes 3 GB of ram through an octa-core processor. The camera is 16 megapixels with one front facing and one back facing.

Things I like
The thing I like most about the phone is it's ruggedness. I have dropped it more times for it to come completely unscathed. For example, it fell 5 feet and landed on a metal rung with the screen making directly contact and it didn't get a scratch or crack from it. Also for it to be waterproof for up to 4 meters at a time when most phones were not still was an added bonus.
Things I don't like
The one thing I don't like about the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active is the fact that there is no way to expand storage for the device. There is no option to add a SD card and therefore your storage is stuck to what option you elect for the phone initally.
Overall Ratings:
Verdict
I would recommend this phone to others if they are looking for a cheap phone now days. However, this phone is 4 and half years old and is 5 generations behind the current series. Due to this age difference it's specifications are outdated and perhaps a newer generation phone would be better to get. The 4 and half years I have had my phone although have been a great experience as I got to explore the android platform by switching from Apple. I realized that android offered way more in terms of file managibility and being close to a full computer.
