Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active, the rugged version of the S7 that’s exclusive to AT&T in the US. The S7 Active has the same excellent core specs as the standard S7: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 CPU with Adreno 530 graphics, 4 gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of storage plus a microSD card slot. It has the same 12MP rear camera, front 5MP camera and S Health with heart rate monitor and blood oxygen monitor. The phone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI and app suite.

It weighs 5.63 ounces, which is approx. 1.3 ounces heavier than the S7 and it has a rugged casing that meets IP68 specs for water and dust resistance and it has a shatterproof 5.1” Gorilla Glass 4 display (also QHD Super AMOLED like the regular Galaxy S7). It’s priced at $795 ($100 more than the standard model).

Perfect review! I got everything I needed about this phone :-3. Thank you Lisa <3

This phone is awesome, had mine on launch day. Because of the battery life this is possibly the best phone of the year, above the S7 and S7 Edge. I feel bad for those not on AT&T who cannot order this version, definitely needs to be on board with the other carriers.

I have had my active 7 for 4 years now. I wouldn't trade it for nothing. Amazing storage amazing durability all around this phone I'll give it a 10 out of 10 rating

Thanks for the video! Been thinking of a gift for my dad for Fathers Day, and he needs an upgrade and does work outside, this would be great.

I love the ruggeds one: but Got myself a a new AGM A8 couple month ago; High PPR, and the phone get on same par with other famous brands. And sooo an affordable price for that specs :O now i m checking out the new x1 18k gold edition … good to know that the ruggeds are becaming a popular choice!

I'll be happy to have one of those phones both look cool... ✌

How long does it take to charge via wireless compared to wired?

[MisterWhatWhat]

If it just had a larger screen I'd buy it.

[rosieridgway]

What was your screen on time with the S7 Active? How much more screen on time did you get than the S7? Thanks Lisa!

Can you please do a review for Dell Inspiron 5559. Would love to see your take on it.

[PatrickDKing]

Can this be purchased uncarrier branded and unbloated at all or is it exclusively through carriers?

[justinadian]

Why is the weather different on the s7?

[IndianPrince]

please make a nexus 5x revisited video😛

[alexandereisma]

hello Liza, could you do a review on Vivo V3?

[rickquick]

Is this really better than just buying an otterbox?

[phillippugh]

this phone is a beast and almost unbreakable love it . if I didn't already have the gs7 edge I'd be all over this phone

[JPCPSN]

I personally think it looks BETTER than the s7.

Any chances of a smackdown between the Razor Blade Stealth vs the Asus Zenbook Ux303UB? Both are competing in similar price brackets and offer quite a good amount of value for the money. It would be interesting to see your take on the two of them.
