Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Edge just about survives a dunking

Share

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (45)

Despite last year’s Galaxy S5 boasting an IP67 rating that meant it was water and dust resistant, Samsung decided not to continue the practice with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge flagship handsets. The S6 Edge has come in for some rough treatment lately, having survived a confrontation with a carpet earlier. Will we see Samsung’s latest and greatest survive a bowl of water? 

TechSmartt’s Keaton Keller set out to find if the S6 Edge could survive in a bowl of water for any amount of time and the results were a little better than to be expected. Keller allowed the S6 Edge to remain submerged for 22 minutes, although it was removed a couple of times just to check its status. You can see in the video that water did find its way inside the handset, resulting in the front camera misting up. Although the handset did get stuck in a boot loop initially, after a while it did boot up as normal, although the front camera was out for the count. It’s probably not advisable to go swimming with your Galaxy S6 Edge, but it should be able to survive the odd spillage here and there.
