Welcome to Android Central! Any cracks in the body or screen? The water resistance rating assumes no structural flaws.

The s6 doesn't have any water resistance rating so... Not surprising.

D'oh! I actually thought the S6 was IP67, like the S5. Didn't check the specs before responding--my bad.

Yeah the S6 Active is water resistant, but not the S6.

Yep, the standard S6 is not rated as water resistant. Despite many videos online that show the phone surviving in water for up to an hour, I would never put a $1000 electronic device to that test. I hope you have insurance!

If you have the S6 active that is rated for water RESISTANCE the warranty still won't cover water damage.
