| When Samsung told us it was happy to get the Galaxy S6 Active it loaned us back in pieces, we took that as a green light to go nuts. But just how much of a beating can this rugged smartphone take? Rated at IP68 for dust- and water-resistance, the S6 Active (AT&T exclusive) is supposed to survive being under 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) of water for up to 30 mins. It's also supposed to withstand drops from less than or equal to 4 feet onto a flat surface. But it can apparently do so much more. In what is the most cathartic assignment we've received to date, we've tortured the Galaxy S6 Active in all sorts of ways to find its breaking point.  |

| Apple Music launched this week on iOS — though its iTunes counterpart is missing in action. We've spent some time exploring its features, as well as getting better acquainted with DJ Zane Lowe and Beats 1 Radio. Our early impression: competent but clumsy.

| | If you're a fan of living life on the edge, or are notorious for your butter fingers, you'll want a smartphone that can take a beating. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, an AT&T exclusive, was built to withstand all sorts of abuse, from getting smacked against a table to being submerged in water. Like the regular Galaxy S6, the Active ($199 with two-year contract, or $695 provides plenty of processing power and an excellent camera. Samsung also designed an Activity Zone for the Active that puts the most important tools and statistics on one page. Throw in a longer-lasting battery than in the regular S6, and you've got one of the best smartphones for an active lifestyle yet.
