    People can babble about water proofing, etc. There is no legitimate engineering problem.

    Even if it was a legitimate problem, it’s sad that only about half of the phones are certified waterproof even if almost all are sealed.

      Not that the phones are warrantied against water damage even if they are rated as water resistant.

      Why is that sad? I can understand why companies don’t want to pay just to get a certification when the phone itself is up to standards regardless

        “It’s easier to make the phone waterproof if the battery is not user-serviceable” is a common argument; if it’s really true, way more phones should be waterproof even if not IP-certified (which understandably costs money and raises the end price).

          Samsung Galaxy S5 would like to have a word. IP67 while having user-detachable battery cover.

            One of the very few phones like this.
