Do you actually use the waterproof feature?

[TylerLV76]

I think I look at it differently because I keep insurance that covers water damage on all my phones. Without that fallback, I may think differently.

The only phone Ive ever destroyed in water was the S7 active and that ws due to Samsungs faulty seals which they warrantied.

I dont see an issue with anyone taking it in a pool or shower or rinsing it off in the sink as long as theyre aware of the consequences if something fails. Im ok with those consequences so I tend to be a bit harsh on my phones.

I shall not be controlled by sensibility and if that means destroying my own property then destroy it I shall

No phone is waterproof

You're exactly right they're only water resistant to certain extent probably the best water resistant phone I've ever seen was a S7 active

Waterproof to a certain extent as I would expect something industrial to be. Its not geared for the general consumer market

Doesn't the chlorine damage the phone?

If I was going to use a phone under water I would put it in a lifeproof case as an added measure.

 

[sparkeater79]

I used mine in the pool, the lake and the ocean. No problems yet.

Waterproof or water resistent - this is worthless feature. If the phone ever gets soaked, just drain the water completely and dry it fully before turning on the set; and you are done!

Yeah if only life worked like that .. too bad it doesn't xD

 

[Morty2264]

If I had a water resistant device, I'd still try and protect it from water as much as possible - any test its limits or push your luck?! But I'd most likely just use it in the rain. But if I'm honest, I'd rather have the removable battery. But I understand that water resistance is a priority for many users.

I take my s8 in the pool all the time. My gear s hot damaged in the pool a couple of times and i had no problem getting a new one from T-Mobile, for free.
