SAMSUNG CAUGHT AGAIN FOR LYING SPECS
Whether the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge live up to their water-resistant expectations seems to depend on when you're asking Samsung. Earlier small print, which can still be found online via partners like Verizon, claims it is water-resistant to submersion in up to 5 feet for 30 minutes, which is what SquareTrade clearly read in designing its tests. But if you go to Samsung's official launch page for both phones, it says they are only resistant to 1 meter (less than four feet) of water for 30 minutes.

Technically if it's only resistant to immersion up to 1 meter, however, it should be rated IP 67 and Samsung is definitely still claiming that the phones are "water-resistant; IP 68 certified up to 30 min. in 1m of water."

To earn that IP 68 protection rating, the device needs to resist water in more than 1 meter for 30 minutes, so perhaps someone needs to do a new torture test under 1.1 meters of water to see if that IP 68 certification is actually deserved.

Samsung did not respond to a request for clarification on the rating.

Maybe I'm just nitpicking, or maybe SquareTrade tested a few bum Samsung phones for water resistance, but the video makes at least one other thing clear -- the screens on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are more sturdy than their Samsung Galaxy S7 competitors. When subjected to a new tumble test, the iPhone 6s was the only phone of the four to survive, while the Galaxy S7 Edge was the first to succumb to the pressure of a bendability test.
