They have an identical octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 16-megapixel camera. Also, this phone was launched with a similar software, Android 5.0.2. However, the S6 Active is thicker than the S6 and it uses three navigation keys instead of just a home button. Plus, it has a battery (3,500 mAh) with greater capacity than the S6 and a button on the left side above the volume buttons that can be used and configured to launch any app.

Though the phone can be identified by the name Galaxy S6 Active, on the back case you'll have to look at the original packaging or turn the phone on to find the model number. To find the model number of the S8 Active, go to Settings→ About phone.
