More GB's
Does anyone know if this device will be getting more GB's like the regular S6? I love The Active, 32 GB's is not enough for me however. Thanks

What the s6 should have been...
liking my s6 Active so far. This is what the s6 should have been originally with the waterproofing and bigger battery. I had the s6 edge and loved the form factor and features but the battery life was not good at all.
it is a nice phone but battery life are short and

LTE/CDMA modes?
I notice the modes supported by this phone are far fewer than for the Galaxy S6, at least according to the specs I see here at PhoneScoop. But the AT&T site says it supports:
Wireless Technology
4G-LTE
Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 20, 29 and 30
4G
HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G - UMTS
850/1900/2100MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE
850/900/1800/1900MHz
Wi-Fi connectivity
802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
So I'm wondering if AT&T just did a cut-and-paste? Or if PhoneScoop left some out.
I want to be sure I can get some form of 3G or better when I travel in Europe and Asia with this phone.

Our draft info was limited to the bands we could confirm. Samsung people looked that over and said it was correct, so that's what we published. But I believe there are additional bands supported. I've just added some more, and will confirm the rest.

Will any other carriers get it?
I would like to take it because of the larger capacity battery. But why is it only available thru AT&T? I need it for Verizon and Sprint as well.
My biggest complaint with the new S6 is the battery. Would they offer the bigger battery on the regular model (I wouldn't mind a drop thicker phone) it would be top of my list.

s6 Active is exclusive with ATT. No other carriers got the s5 active so I doubt we will see that change. Also getting a bigger battery is not possible with the s6. As im sure we all know the s6 battery life isn't the best because of the 2k definition ...

Doesnt say anything about SD card or removable battery...
So I'm gonna assume it doesn't have either, but then I never thought it would. The S6 doesn't have them, so it only makes sense that a sealed waterproof device wouldn't have them either.
Meh, almost no one replaces the battery in their smartphone anyway, by the time the battery stops holding a charge they always want a newer cooler phone, not a new battery for their old phone. And if you have a 2amp charger, the S6 will go from 0% battery to 100% in less than 45 minutes so Im betting the S6 Active is similar.
Micro SD, meh, just having one slows down the phone versus actual internal storage speeds. And how many times do most people actually physically remove the SD card anyway? A micro SD is good for when you drop your phone in wate...

This is an example of consumers NOT determining what they want. I know in economics class they pound into everyone's head that corporations listen to their customers as demand, but they really don't. Just like this phone. Everyone wished Samsung ke...

I have to disagree, batteries typically do not last 2 years in my experience. I also like to shop for extended batteries in order to use my phone for more than a day. As nice as the back of the GS6 is aesthetically, it's also a liability (iPhone 4 & 4...
