Eh, not sure......Thanks for posting it, but why the drop in resolution? YouTube accepts 4k uploads.
Wow. Are you worried about splashing, or about dropping it into water? I'd be more afraid about dropping it onto a solid surface than into a liquid.I NEVER take my phone near water. I don't take it into the kitchen nor bathroom.
If they don't warranty water damage, it isn't meant to be in the water.
No one proposed that as a reason for putting the phone in water. A much better reason is that it has an IP68 rating. That's much more specific than either "proof" or "resistant". It means the phone is able to withstand immersion in water to a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes, without damage.i will never put it in water just because "other people do it".
Not really. Falling in a puddle can cause both impact damage and water damage, because IP68 only refers to a device that's calmly submerged. If it's moving at high velocity instead, the water pressure against it is increased, potentially beyond the IP68 limit.I just know that if my phone accidentally falls in a puddle [...] it'll be okay
I will never intentionally put my $1200 device in water. it's water RESISTANT not water PROOF. Two different meanings. I just know that if my phone accidentally falls in a puddle or gets wet from rain it'll be okay. but i will never put it in water just because "other people do it".
To me, water resistant is more along the lines of what you are saying - when it's an accidental drop, some rain splashes, etc.
No, it's been advertised as IP68, which is very specific.Exactly - this phone has never been advertised as waterproof, it's been advertised as water resistant which is a different meaning. l

A company is legally required to take responsibility if their product has a defect that keeps it from working as advertised. They can't shirk their responsibility just by declaring that they won't cover it.The same ppl that will be pissed at Samsung for not covering the repairs under warranty when it clearly States water damage isn't covered.
Again, the phone is not marketed as waterproof and is only water resistant under a specific test condition. It is not designed or meant to be regularly used underwater in wildly variable conditions, thus no warranty coverage for water damage. If you take it into a pool and the chlorine eats away the seals, drop it in a river and water is forced past the seals due to the current, or any other number of situations that result in water damage is NOT a defect as they exceed the design/test limitations.A company is legally required to take responsibility if their product has a defect that keeps it from working as advertised. They can't shirk their responsibility just by declaring that they won't cover it.
Correct. As I said, it's marketed as IP68.Again, the phone is not marketed as waterproof.
Perhaps a misunderstanding on my part, but the post you quoted and how you worded your response sounded like you were claiming water damage from use in a pool and other situations should be covered under warranty.Correct. As I said, it's marketed as IP68.
I also agree, and already stated above, that it's not advertised as chlorine-resistant, salt-resistant, etc. But if you do use it as advertised, it has to perform as advertised, or else it's Samsung's responsibility, whether their warranty says so or not.
