Well, phones are water resistant, but salt water is another story and Samsung should have known

Waterproof or waterproof I don’t care, as I never drop my phones, headphones or smart watches into the water. I rarely use it in the rain either. Why risk your devices. Just use them safely.

samsung you deserve it.
I hope Samsung is fined again for its massive “Green Line” problem that occurs on the S20 screen.

Even the Samsung S8 in this article. The point is, it is not tested or rated for use under these conditions. Just like your iPhone. All are prone to water damage.

And take red claw underwater photos / videos … moreIt’s usually smart to rinse the devices with normal water afterwards. When salt water dries, it tends to leave salt crystals behind which can damage the joints. Especially for that. Actually, it shouldn’t affect so much other things (glass and aluminum / stainless steel).

Olympus Oms, 6 hours ago, then? Sony started. Apple failed first and then Samsung. In Europe, advertising was changed and … more Nobody got “hooked”. IP classifications are very well defined and specifically exclude chlorinated water (pool water) and salt water (sea water) from ANY rating. But silly people don’t know the difference between the exaggeration of advertising to make it exciting to see it and what the IP rating really is. No one wants to see a smartphone ad where some guy explains the IP rating specifications for half a minute and how this really affects water resistance. Make the announcement with a guy surfing in a huge wave or a photo of a diver with a whale. This does not mean that you have to dive or surf with your phone. This is just stupid.

In the meantime, I manage to use my iphone 12 pro max. And take red claw underwater photos / videos while I eat my feet dead skin without any problems. And after rinsing it with tap water and drying it for 24 hours. The speakers and charging port work as if nothing had happened.

That’s why it’s stupid to pay for IP certifications. People are stupid too. I take ANY water resistance as a last resort, it doesn’t “allow me to navigate with a phone stuck between my ass cheeks during a hurricane”.
It’s good to know that the phone has rubber seals on all ports and speakers, and I’ll understand that it can protect your phone if the worst happens, but I won’t intentionally submerge it in water. I have had proper diving watches and have always avoided getting them wet even by washing my hands. If they got wet, fine, but I didn’t intentionally do it because it’s unnecessary.
IP rating is now a joke for advertising I guess

Ahahaha …
That kind of ad that talked about how DisplayMate was the most reputable display testing organization in the comments sidebar really made me laugh. It’s fun to see it in print.

Nor is it anyone’s fault that children don’t know the difference between tough and tested. But then again, many marketers don’t even know it. They only know money.

Time? Sony started. Apple failed first and then Samsung. In Europe, advertising changed immediately after Sony was caught. So if Australia stopped for the first time now, then they are back a few years!
