Samsung only rated the S5 Active as water resistant, and only IP67.

We're talking about IP68, where you can take a new phone with you on a long swim.

I clicked the "parent comment" link all the way to the submission, and opened the submission as well. Nothing mentions IP68. Which "we" is this goalpost coming from?

  • I had an s5. It was neither waterproof nor even water resistant—the enclosure got too banged up to ensure seals stay sealed.
