The S6 Active

[Poweranimals]

Allegedly, the Active comes with a bigger battery and is waterproof. I have to wonder if this would actually be more along the lines of what people had in mind. I've never had an "Active" phone before. Are there any drawbacks?

getting cases for the phones are more difficult. I also read about the active saw 2 different sites one says 5.5" screen and the other says 5.1" screen.

I think it's pretty obvious that if it's a "S6 Active" it will have a similar-sized screen to the S6 - most likely the same screen but a bigger body. Maybe if you think it's robust enough you won't need a case?

If you are into rooting and ROMs there will probably be a much smaller development community for the Active (unless, unlike the previous Actives, it becomes disproportionately popular with enthusiasts).
