This phone takes some beautiful photos It handled this clutch shot of the President of the United States speeding by Back camera captures the parents, despite odd studio audience lighting Vivid colors, though the studio lighting giving me an extra weird glow The Daily Show studio looked best on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active vs my iPhone Underwater photos were a blast Easier than a GoPro and always with me The colors are always vibrate, and not as oversatured as previous Galaxy phones The camera auto-focus is fast enough to capture these sugar-filled kids There's a special Aqua mode on this phone. It doesn't clear up your dirty pool for you, though Sometimes, when underwater, odd messages pop up. The S6 Active is sometimes tricked by water Food and some skin tones often comes out a little oversaturated in a negative way Low-light situations with backlighting and without the flash do a decent job Normal selfie: Someone is getting in trouble.
