Back in 2015, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy s6 in all its glory with some really cool specifications. While the Smartphone was impressively an improvement to the Galaxy s5, there was just a little shortcoming that left consumers bothered and same time curious.

Paying close attention to the specs, you’d notice that the Galaxy s6 waterproof rating isn’t official. This is because the South Korean giant, Samsung didn’t design it to be. Neither did they release any publication that the Galaxy s6 is waterproof (not even the promotional ads).

Here’s all we know about the Samsung Galaxy s6 Waterproof Rating

– The Samsung Galaxy s5 has a water resistance rating of 7
This means that the Galaxy s5 can resist water when left in a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.

– The Samsung Galaxy s6 Active, S7 and S7 Edge has a water resistance rating of 8
This means that the Galaxy s6 Active, S7 and S7 Edge can resist water when left in a depth of 1.5 meter for up to 30 minutes.

… Is the Samsung Galaxy s6 Waterproof?

Let’s clear your doubt on the Galaxy s6 waterproof.  Unlike its predecessors and successors, the Galaxy s6 and s6 Edge are both NOT rated waterproof.

The housing of the Samsung Galaxy S6 component isn’t like the Samsung Galaxy S5 IP-67 waterproof. This implies that the Galaxy s6 is not built to survive depths in water. When vital electronic components in it get in contact with water, the device may malfunction or get damaged.

It is worth mentioning that the Samsung Galaxy s6 is water resistant thereby it should survive a couple of water splash.

How ever, if you look forward to having some sort of extra protection, you may want to get the Samsung Galaxy s6 waterproof cases or Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge waterproof cases for the s6 and s6 edge respectively.

Though these waterproof cases don’t in any way make the s6 itself waterproof, they can (to an extent prevent moisture from getting in) and as well make your phone look pretty.

It is an often practice where folks take their phones into water when at the pool or beach. While this may just be cool and okay, it only makes sense if you’re using a waterproof smartphone, which unfortunately the Galaxy s6 isn’t.  Now you know the Samsung Galaxy s6 waterproof  rating, you’re advised to keep the device far off water as possible.
