Re: Water to 30 meters, but what about SALT water??
First, the article is factually incorrect:
Samsung has long touted a similar degree of water resistance as a major selling point for its Galaxy line of smartphones,
Samsung is a relative newbie to the IPXX world. Panasonic, Sony, etc have been there for several years now and are still way ahead of both Apple and Samsung.
Second, even pools are not necessarily freshwater. I had a "jacuzzi pitstop" on my annual trip through Europe at a German spa. I was surprised to find the water twice as salty as the Mediterranean (at least). Apparently the mineral springs run through a rocksalt layer somewhere. I want to see it surviving that for more than a couple of minutes.
