Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “S6 Active – Best Phone Right Now?”.
What’S up guys Lew here back with another video, and today It’s a comparison., I’ve got the entire family of Galaxy S6 in front of me.. I’Ve got the whole galaxy.. This is the edge.. This is the standard S6 and over here I have the new S6 active and I’m pumped for this device. For a couple of reasons., I started out Attempting to use the S6 Edge as my daily driver..
There were a couple things that were bothering me with it. It’S not the most comfortable device in the world to hold. Oh …, My phone is so slender. The edge is so sleek.. Eventually, what happens is you’re just sitting there trying to use it? Maybe your finger will creep over the “ edge” … Inadvertently, tap the screen Trigger the haptic feedback so on and so forth..
It’S just not the most comfortable or Thought out device in my opinion. There’s, just not enough., Plus when it comes to having this glass wrap around the sides.. So I moved over to the standard S6, Which is in the center here.. That was a lot better.. It’S a lot comfier to hold sitting back on the couch lying in bed so on and so forth.. I wasn’t having those inadvertent clicks and now I had a solid place to rest.
My … fingertips. These fingertips.. I just said fingertips Trying to make videos here.
God damn it, But that said not everything was perfect in Galaxy land, this thing is barely getting through a day of usage., I’m playing with phones.. I like phones, I’m on Twitter. It comes to like I don’t know. Seven eight o’clock at night And it wants to be plugged in. It’s a consequence of having a very sleek in glass, looking phone. Fine., So be it, but the S6 Active …
Improves the battery life … Significantly. What do we have here? 3,000 …? Is it 3,500 Milliamp hours of Power.? That’S a thousand more roughly a thousand more than the standard S6 and, as you can see, the form factors, not all that different.. It’S also waterproof..
It’S rugged, It’s more! Damn manly! If you look at it. Military spec, IP68. 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. We’re probably going to test that in an upcoming video, because that’s fun. So you’re getting a more rugged device and a bigger battery power users are probably gon na, be happy about that., But you’re.
Getting some other things. Too. You’ve got a sim. Tray that you can remove with your fingertip instead of a sim tool.
I’M changing phones all the time and having to search for those little … Sim tools. …
Just pushes me over the edge every so often Also you have a really big tactile and grippy buttons. You have a grippy foam When you hold on to that. You know you’ve got it., You can do like we’ve done here. You can put some skins on your devices to make them a little bit more grippy. These are from D- Brand, of course, link in the description. If you want to check it out.
With this device.. You’Ve got that nice rubberized, confident manly grip., Other specs you’re dealing with essentially the same device as the Standard S6 and that’s a good thing.. You’Ve still got that great camera, a really quick processor, so it’s snappy., You’re, not Gon na, Have to sit around and wait now. There’S one more difference on the S6 active and it’s one of my favorite features as well. You have this little button, here., They call it the active button.. That button is yours. It’S yours to own.
In love, you. Can do whatever you want with it.. It could be an app, It could be. A webpage. Buttons are good..
I love buttons. physical Buttons. On the front that carries around too.
You have physical buttons for multitasking, Home and Back.. Now, not everything is fine and dandy. On the S6 Active side, though.
You’re going to take a bit of a hit … When it comes to the speaker., It’s on the back of the device. So if it’s on a tabletop or even if you’re holding it it’s Going in the opposite direction of your ears., That’s never optimal.
You’re, also giving up one other thing: The fingerprint sensor.. This fingerprint sensor is a leap in the right direction for Samsung from the previous version., But it’s still not seamless.. There would be times where it would miss Every so often., Not having the fingerprint sensor on the Active was not such a huge deal to me.
The S6 active answers. The-The questions that I had about the other devices, the things that I was a little bit … lukewarm about it pretty much conquers those..
This is a Confident device, something that I think is going to be really comfortable in my pocket. Form. Factor that you’re looking at is the form factor. You’Re gon na get., Essentially wearing a very slim case around the regular design.. As you can tell I’m pumped up about this thing., I’m making the switch.
This is going to be in my pocket.. The Active is not gon na be available to everybody.. Unfortunately, it’s an AT .
