Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active

The Samsung Galaxy S8 Active offers just about anything that you want out of a smartphone. At its core, this is a true flagship smartphone - one that overlaps very well into a niche category (this phone is everything and the kitchen sink). This niche caters to folks who work in physically demanding environments, or those who simply want peace of mind that their pricey investment can take a moderate beating. This phone is also great for those who work long hours and spend a lot of time away from a power outlet.

The Galaxy S8 Active is a great phone, but if battery life isn’t your top concern, you’ll save money buying a regular Galaxy S8 and a case.

If you’ve grown accustomed to having a rugged phone over the last few years, the S8 Active is a wonderful step up from your older model. A lot of people hold on to their handsets for 18-24 months; this phone is much improved over what was available at that time.

The Galaxy S8 Active endeavors to do something really no smartphone does today. Taking top-of-the-line technology and melding it with externals that come as close to indestructible as any pocket-device feasibly can is no small feat, but it’s easy to see how this can be taken for granted. The S8 Active doesn’t appear to have a very hard job. Thicken the metal, add some rubber corners, and a shatter-resistant shield and voilà, right? Well, although Samsung certainly won’t see it like that, it kind of does appear that way. The Galaxy S8 was already IP68 dust and waterproof, so now let’s make it withstand drops and extreme temperatures then call it a day. Sure. But smartphone construction can be a delicate balance, figuratively and literally. Just take for instance the critical mistakes made in trying to pack too much into the ill-fated Note7.

100% Galaxy S8 Active Review
Source: Ubergizmo English English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Galaxy S8 Active is a high-endurance phone that is armored, super-fast and comes with a display and camera performance that leaves competing rugged handsets in the dust. Assuming that budget is not a concern, the Galaxy S8 Active is the best phone that has a real design for durability, and extremely good handset performance in 2017.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Active review: Come for the ruggedness, stay for the battery
Source: Android Central English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Galaxy S8 Active is massively heavier and larger in every dimension than the Galaxy S8, and even loses its hallmark curved glass screen. That last part may also seem like a bonus — but the added width and thickness makes up for it in terms of poor ergonomics. With its super-thick and tough exterior, the Galaxy S8 Active doesn't look, or more importantly feel, like a Galaxy S8 anymore — and that is, after all, a big chunk of what you're paying for when you buy one.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Active review: A flagship for the clumsy and adventurous
Source: Talk Android English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
With all of that being said, this is the first year that looks like we might see the Active on a carrier besides AT&T, so for Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile customers that have missed out on previous versions, you might want to check this out just to see what all the fuss is about.

80% Samsung Galaxy S8 Active Review: Practically Indestructible
Source: Tom's Guide English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Active is perfect for people who truly torture their phones. It offers the same great display, camera and performance as the original S8, and it can withstand heaps of abuse. Most of us can get by with a less-expensive phone and a solid smartphone case, but if you're willing to pay a premium for extra protection — and you like AT&T — the S8 Active will be a reliable partner.

For a $100 premium over the standard S8, the Galaxy S8 Active gets you more battery life and increased durability. If you're looking for a phone that can stand up to abuse and doesn't compromise on performance, it's your best option and our Editors' Choice. If you're not on AT&T, however, we like the Kyocera DuraForce Pro, a model available on every major carrier. Or you can buy a regular Galaxy S8 and wrap it up in a protective case.

5.80":

这是比较大的智能手机尺寸,也十分常见。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
