Fade is a good song, but TERRIBLE for background music for a phone review.

[kadeneharvey]

Anyone else distracted by the song in the background?

[bdizzlecan]

Did this guy listen to the video before uploading it?

[AndrewHadi]

Faded takes 50% of my attention hahaha

[grizzZlyBear]

95% of youtube tech channels have used this music. it's super laud too in this one

[SonGoli]

The music was not meant for a phone like this

[NickBouwhuis]

Great phone, but only in the USA :(.

Also, the background music is shit and too damn loud. Can't watch this, sorry.

[MiguelY]

Dear Samsung,
Stop making the active phones only for at&t.

[josemanuelprosperto]

Is just me, or the background song is really annoying for a phone review?

[stuartbegley]

Can't concentrate on what's being said due to music

[anthonyroberts]

I had a active 5 be4 I moved up to the active 7 love these phones dropped my active so so many times and barley a scratch, fun take pics under water and just a damn good phone. But do belive that Samsung should make the active line avaible to all carriers.

As always, instant thumbs down for the music.

[LivingFree]

Excellent review. We were looking at this since we have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. This one looks more rugged. Thanks for the info! :) Melody

Dislike for the music in a phone review. What's next? A movie in a small window?

[rizwanmask]

Plz lanh, don't include music while you are speaking, music just washes your sound clarity.

[gigaraga]

That background has got to be the most overused song ever. And good review for an awesome phone. (Btw when are you gonna show your CoC account?)

Over all, is the S7 Active favorable to a S7 Edge with an Otter-Box? And is the built-in screen protector replaceable, considering it's made of plastic, and supposedly easily scratched?

[omarzowila]

I used a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active as my temporary phone back when my iPhone 6s wouldn’t charge because there was so much debris in the charging port so I cleaned it up but the good thing about the S7 active was the camera

[cyrusreign]

Too many here are complaining about the background music, I am one of them too. It is distracting, since you read these comments, how about lowering the music huh pal ??

Can you navigate the home screen underwater?
