Galaxy Note 4: Is it waterproof?

[WatermelonSlim]

I haven't seen anything about the Note 4 being waterproof like the S5. Anyone know for sure?

Nothing was mentioned during the unpacked event. Doesn't look like it.

I didn't see that anywhere. Makes me sad.

Probably because of the Stylus, they could not make it waterproof. Imagine you forget your stylus one day and there goes your phone in some water. I wonder did they at least make it water resistant? That is useful for the rain or if you spill something on it. Loved it on my Moto devices (Motorola has been doing water resistant/splash proof since the Droid Razr).

Pretty much this but I'm sure Seidio cases will take care of that.

Oh ok well that's why I'm always waiting for the official reveal. Personally I honestly prefer not only IP 68 but also Mil-Std 662 for such a huge phone.

Now I'm thinking it isn't after all. Seems like all new info posted doesn't mention anything about dust or water resistant. It's a shame but I guess expected

This, along with the October release date are the biggest disappoints for me thus far.

Don't worry. Going by the S5 forums, there will be new owners swimming, shark fishing, pearl hunting and washing machine testing with the Note 4 and posting videos anyway.

I saw some hands on photos with the back off... and didnt appear to have the same obvious water-proof seals/gaskets that the S5 (and the active series) have.

I would agree that the Stylus is most likely the reason for no water proofing.

Well I guess I'm not getting it then. Waterproof was the main thing I was looking forward to. Maybe next year.

I don't see why a stylus is any different from a removable battery as far as waterproofing goes.

At the worst they could make the end of the stylus seal when inserted into the device and only make it waterproof when the stylus was in there.

Too bad, that would have been a killer feature worth upgrading for.

There's no reason out couldn't be waterproof, the pen holder in the back could be sealed closed and there's no reason the pen couldn't be water resistant too. It is a real shame, splash proofing phones it's hugely valuable.

You never know.. It could be complicated. Sure.. Any phone could be water proof but many aren't.. And there has to be a reason as to why .
