Re: Rugged Galaxy S6 Active to come with a 5.5" Quad HD display

I'm simply commenting in the lengths some people will go to in order to justify their own (very) personal need for removables. I'm also not the one that brought the subject up in the first place, but if someone does bring it up with a convoluted and barely justifiable explanation, I fully intend to laugh at it. A lot. Out loud. While rolling on the floor. Just so we're clear.

And now that we're done with the removable removables intermission, back to discussing the rugged variant of the Galaxy S6 line.

Who are you to judge with your snide commentary?? Try being kind and helpful in this community is all I ask.

I'm thinking for a long hiking trip with a Rugged version of an S6, I'm going to need an extra SD card for all the pictures I'm going to take.

Wish they put a 5.5" screen on the regular s6.....

I am. You're apparently insulted and offended by my opinion. Get over it. And now I'm going to have to place you on ignore, rather than actually get nasty with you.

Re: hold your horse, S6 active for ATT is coming! (possibly)

Looks like the specs remain largely untouched, except for the oomphed-up battery capacity.

From the front page:
"Galaxy S6 Active is said to follow suit by having nearly identical specs to the standard Galaxy S6, though in this case gaining a huge 3500mAh battery"

Both the Galaxy S5 and the Galaxy S4 had Active variants that butched up the phone's case with sturdy rubber bumpers, waterproofing, and shockproofing — and the phones looked the part (there was even a camouflage back available for the Galaxy S5 Active). Internally, the Galaxy S6 Active is said to follow suit by having nearly identical specs to the standard Galaxy S6, though in this case gaining a huge 3500mAh battery (the standard Galaxy S6 has nearly a full ampere-hour less at 2550mAh). That'd put the rumored Galaxy S6 Active right in the neighborhood of the Motorola Droid Turbo.

Looks like the two threads i posted in got merged.

I'll definitely take extra battery oomph, my big question is if it'll keep MST and the fingerprint reader.....Qi would be nice too, rather than messing with a cover for the USB port.

There'd BETTER be a T-Mobile version...AT&T tends to disable HSPA AWS.

It's very interesting as I'm on AT&T. 5.5" screen is about 16% bigger than 5.1" in area. But 3500mAh is more than enough battery increase to offset extra screen power.

But big question is what will happen to wireless charging and fingerprint scanner? Active might lose those features I guess.

s6 active specs leaked!!

Exynos 7420 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board storage and a 16-megapixel / 5-megapixel camera combo. What will change though, are the dimensions (but obvious), which will now read 73.6 x 146.9 x 8.8 mm (as opposed to 70.5 x 143.4 x 6.8 mm of the Galaxy S6), and the battery size, which will be upgraded to 3500mAh.


according to the leaked dimensions, it's seems impossible for it to have 5.5 inch display. since the device grew only 4.4mm in size diagonally(which is not even 0.2inches)

though it will be much thicker and feature 3500mAh battery... even bigger than that of a note 4

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active to sport a 5.1-inch display after all?

A 5.1 inch screen after all?

Re: s6 active specs leaked!!

I would have loved the S6 be pushed out to 8.8mm if that meant a 3500mah battery.

Same, this make the Active sound like the perfect phone. Now I don't know whether to get the S6 or wait for this. Hopefully more news leaks soon.

What's the point of releasing the Active if it's only available on AT&T? Strategically from Sam's perspective you're cutting out the over half the market.

I never understood the Alpha on AT&T either, I liked it and would have been fine with it but it wasn't on Verizon as well.

 

[Alex_NJ]

So, when will this be released?

The other carriers simply may not be interested. Which sucks for us, but maybe with the regular S6 not being waterproof, more carriers will be interested in carrying an IP67/8 variant. It'll probably work better than sticking the regular one in a Lifeproof case. Plus things like Qi and MST and NFC might not work through a Lifeproof case, while they will work in a phone designed to be rugged itself (assuming they left the features in anyway).

Besides, oh that battery .
