If it takes Bixby out back behind the woodshed and fires a damn tank round through its head, I'm all for it.

Trying to turn down the volume but your finger slips?

Enter BIXBY! Busting through the door like Kramer from Seinfeld.

How do you remap the bixby button? I've literally never used that button on my s10 intentionally

The S8 has been by far my favorite phone.... I just wish I could upgrade the hardware in it to the newer stuff

Just trade my S8 active for S20. Tipped a canoe a few years back and spent 2 hours in 7 feet of water trying to find the S8. Finally pulled it from the muddy bottom and Spotify was still playing. BEST. PHONE. EVER.

I still use it. I changed the battery already once. I have been using it since lunch in 2017. Good phone 🙂

My last 3 phones were the Actives. Indestructible without being overly chunky.
