Samsung Galaxy S7 Active G891A 32GB Unlocked GSM Shatter,Dust and Water Resistant Smartphone w/ 12MP Camera - Titanium Gray

Very very very good phone.Coming from a Galaxy S4, S5 and S6, and lately from an Iphone 6s, I'm happy to say that it is one of the best phones available in the market right now.High Points:- Battery. Best ever. With heavy usage, a day and a half easily. With regular usage almost two days.- Screen resolution: very good. Best i've seen in Samsung- Camera: Best so far, but if you are an average photographer, nothing new compared to the Galaxy S6. (By nothing new I mean nothing that will change you life)- Good but probably won't use that much: Water resistance, and the capacity button.- FIngertip security: very good. Probably at the same level as the Iphone 6s, but better, much better than Galaxy S6- Roughness: very solid, good grip (better than S6 and 6s). You are never afraid of hitting anything or dropping it.The screen glass though, although it is supposed to handle bumps, I read somewhere that it scratches a lot. Didn't happen to me yet (fingers crossed).Low points:- A little too bulky- WARNING: I saw a lot of blogs and even allegedly a Samsung statement saying that some of the phones had a failure with water resistance. There were many reputable online reviews (CNET I think and some others) that had some problems with this. I tried mine under water and everything went ok. But I suggest asking your seller first if they respond if anything happens.As for the rest, as any of the latest phones. Very good, solid, comfortable, great Android apps.If I have to name only one thing that I liked: The battery. I couldn't believe that no phone can last for more than a day. Well... here you have it!Would I buy it again: no doubt.Would I advise you to buy it? Depending on what you are looking for. If you are the sporty one, that likes roughness and durability:don't doubt. GO ahead.If you are looking for something fancy to show off in parties. Then probably go fo.r an S7 Edge or an Iphone 7.

I rarely (if ever at all) submit reviews or opinions on purchases. However, now as I am starting off in a whole new year, I decided to start to speak up and/or, to speak out. This phone (straight out of the box) displayed far more problems than I care to include in the review. I strongly suspect the claim and outright advertisement listing the phone as a "brand new" device was/is the furthest claim from any truth or accuracy.As we age, some of us see such disappointment in latest designs and quality being offered. Not that we expect too much but, we were accustom to truthful and accurate descriptions and advertising. Sadly, the deliberate and blatant use of intentional misleading, outright lying, deceit, false advertising, etc., are all now part of the "American Way"! Not that you will get more if you spend more, but, perhaps I should've been less stingy and taken the $275.00 spent on this unsavory merchant and just put that money towards even more money and just bought direct from the service provider??

Had a small instance of the S7 dreaded "pink line" on the screen for a few minutes, then went away. From what I've read that issue may be a software issue, and this one updated shortly after I got it online and haven't seen the pink line since. fingers crossed. Anyway, everything aces with phone and service. Best phone I've ever had, fast & even battery is great, last almost 2 days.UPDATE 12/2019: Bought a second gold one from Cellular Gallery, practically like new, said it had screen burn, but with leds after it's been off for awhile, that goes away and there's no indication of it. And no dreaded pink line.UPDATE 5/2020: BOUGHT A THIRD charcoal one ,also from Cellular Gallery, also like new. Supposed to have screen burn also, no evidence when I got it.OTHER THOUGHTS: all had Android 7 when I got them, all eventually upgraded to Android 8, and then some. Most current one has a couple more updates to do as it's software is still dated 2018 and the other 2 are dated 2020. Seems you have to wait awhile after each update b4 you can do the next one, but no biggie, just shows they were hardly used or would've done them automatically already.All in all, pretty great phone for under $100, fingerprint SECURITY, pulse/oxygen reader, 13mp camera, WQHD SCREEN, WATERPROOF TO 1.5 METERS FOR 30 MINUTES

this meets my expectations. to note, I do outdoor sports and do meet extreme temperatures, bad weather and handle my electronics with little care. for most users, I would suggest getting a regular s7 (which is waterproof) and a waterproof case. actually, I would have gotten a oneplus3 if its camera was better for its higher specs. I say that because:-this is quite heavy, bigger, and does not fit in the samsung gear vr!-the protective rubber on the body gets scratched and is not removable-its not very pretty/you can use a regular s7 as is in the city and just put on casing when you go outdoors-the battery is not removablebut for someone who is looking specifically for a rugged phone, this is the best(only real flagship) I have found. It distinguishes from the already waterproof s7 by:-a bigger battery. maybe the biggest battery on a flagship as of april 2017-justifies the extra weight well!-good design for use with gloves. the physical buttons (instead of touchscreen buttons) are quite handy-it claims to be more resistant to extreme temperatures. I have not tested this yet, but it does matter to someone who spends time on mountains and has problems with electronics in the cold.-the active button and interface with flashlight, step counter etc. is pretty nice. I also put my music on long press, just a perk for hikes.-i like the pulse and sp02 sensors.one last note: the rear camera is quite good, though it could have been more wide angle. i think 12mp is more than enough for a phone and increasing um was a good choice. the front camera is average. the stock camera app is impressive, i wouldnt need another app.
