Had the S6 Active and sold it in 1 day on Craigslist here in DFW. I was not expecting to sell it so quickly. I intended to wait for a while to see if the price came down on the S7 Active, but I went by the store to check it out and in minutes walked out with a grey S7 Active!
The top 4 things I like over the S6 Active are:
Fingerprint sensor!- Now I can check Chase and BoA without putting in username and password like for my Nexus 6P and iPhone 6S+. Android is still dragging its feet on this feature. Still not enough apps use this feature...
Micro SD card! I have not had a device that used a micro SD card in a long time. I only had 64GB card and picked up a 200GB card the other day on amazon!
Battery- never had a problem with the 3500 mAh battery in the S6 Active so this should be even sweeter!
Marshmallow- I like being able to control what apps have access to my contacts, location etc. I know this will be coming to the S6 Active but enough already ATT. Update the S6 Active to Marshmallow! I realize the S7 Active will be slow for updates but it works great as is and of course I have a Nexus!
The only con so far is that it is a bit slippery on the sides so I should have my CIMO TPU case in a few hours! Gotta love Amazon delivering on a Sunday!
If you like the Active series, this is without a doubt the best featured Active device to date! I'll post more info as I spend more time with it.
I am running completely stock at this point with always on display tuned off for now.
