Samsung Galaxy S8 Active: Top specs, features, price and everything you must know

Sumsung's rough and tough take on its gorgeous but dangerously fragile all glass and metal flagship Galaxy S8 phone, aka the Galaxy S8 Active is now official. And it's every bit as 'built to take a beating' as last year's Galaxy S7 Active, and the Galaxy S6 Active from the year before. In the process however, the Galaxy S8 Active ditches the Galaxy S8's trademark Infinity edge-to-edge curves for ruggedness only Samsung's Active phones can vouch for. It comes as no surprise then that the Galaxy S8 Active is being tipped as Samsung' toughest Galaxy phone yet. Also, it ships with a bigger battery so technically it should be longer lasting as well. We take a look.
