I have the s7 active and the screen cracked 2 weeks into owning it from a 2 foot fall. It seems that there was a pinch point between the buttons. Other than that a decent phone.

I just ordered a Pixel 2. Seems pretty nice in the hand. Samsung is better than they used to be, but their stupid Bixby thing turned me off. I have an s6 Active which replaced an S4 Active. My wife just got the s8 active, and she loves it. I'd still recommend a case, but nothing fance.
I'm hoping the Pixel 2 adds up. I hope the lack of wireless charging isn't too much of an issue. We'll see.

Where can i buy an unlocked s8 active (SM-G892U)? They seem to be very scarce.
Return it asap. Major screen issues including burn in after 2 weeks.Endo Ag said:

When I purchased about a month ago it was still exclusive to AT&T. May not be available in the wild yet.dubi said:YouBet said:AT&Tdubi said:Endo Ag said:

I was looking for a cash deal and not paying AT&T monthly. I see places to by an S8 online; I just don't see the S8 active.

I'm very happy with an unlocked V20 on VZW. Replaceable battery and SD card are requirements for me. Wired audio quality with good ear buds is fantastic. There have been regular deals on slickdeals lately.

Is the bloat removed from the phone? Side from that. I've been an Android user for years and one of my biggest gripes is OS creep that's tied up in the providers and manufacturers.
I not that carrier bloat will be addressed, but 'm strongly considering switching to iPhone in the future from my current S7 Edge.

iPhone 7.
I was all Android the first few smart phones I owned. I had a S2, S4, S4-mini and then bailed. I'm glad I did and have never looked back.
Don't want to turn this into an ios vs. Android.evan_aggie said:
I don't think Android will ever really compete with the user experience, performance, and battery life of an iPhone.
Apple controls the entire ecosystem vertically; they have a clear advantage that enabled so much of their success. Samsung is getting there, but will always be reactive to some Android changes.

I must share the good news of our Lord and Savior Apple to these lost souls.

It goes beyond just the iPhone too. iMessages are shared across devices and photo sharing is all combined through the iCloud service, so folks who use Macs can easily respond to texts without having to whip out their phone all the time at work (or at home). iTunes is not a factor: streaming services have popped up that fit most people's needs regardless of the ecosystem.
I have no doubt that the new S7, S8 aren't massive improvements and have newer features that even Apple is late to add. But there is a reason: they really don't have to, and people will still buy their products to remain in their ecosystem.
I've used both: Android for 5+ years and iOS for a little less than 2, and I have no intention of going back.
Have you used an iPhone for a year or so?
Has apple figured out that whole attach more than a single file to an e-mail thing yet??? Didn't think so.evan_aggie said:

I'm going to be able to purchase a V30 on Monday through my company for $340. Seems like a good deal.
Currently have a Nexus 6. Any reason I wouldn't want to do this?
