Don't ever trust the IP68 rating that Samsung shows on their website. It is nothing but a maketing lie

The website states that the phone can be under water for 30 minutes at 1.5 meters. My phone was in less than 1 foot of water for less than 30 seconds. I turned the phone off just in case but then noticed shortly after that the camera lenses were fogged. Phone will no longer turn on. I have read that, they test them when new but the glue can degrade which means their claim is useless. Do not think your phone is IP68 EVER.

Understood, and I know. This was an accidental drop for 30 seconds. My issue is they advertise that this phone can handle much more that that. Not the truth
