The Samsung Galaxy S8 Active (2017) makes for a mediocre Smartphone and should be avoided by the majority of people.

In the case of the Nokia 2.2 (2019), however, we were unable to find enough data to come to any meaningful conclusions.

We strongly suggest that you take a look at some alternatives to these two products.

If you're still interested in reading more about the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active (2017), however, here's a quick summary of what we know about it:

The Samsung Galaxy S8 Active (2017) impressed reviewers from a large number of trusted sources that conduct reliable hands-on testing, including Reviewed, Techradar, MakeUseOf, Android Central, GadgetMatch, Android Authority, and Popular Mechanics. It performed great in their respective roundups - it was named "Top Pick" by Reviewed, "Best Samsung phone battery" by Techradar, and "Ranked 2 out of 5" by MakeUseOf. Earning that much praise from such reliable sources is a good sign that the product is worth the money.

Taking a look at the Nokia 2.2 (2019), we found that it hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a spot in any Smartphone roundups done by sources that conduct their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it difficult to recommend.
