Nopeasti katsottuna pari muutakin on sitä mieltä että vähintäänkin markkinointi on "hieman" harhaanjohtavaa. Pientä eroa siinä onko laite waterproof vai water resistant. Ja miten paljon kättäjän pitää tehdä valmisteluja ennen kun puhelimen voi oikeasti upottaa veteen verrattuna markkinoituun "oops, se tippui veteen mutta ei haittaa kun tämä on vedenpitävä"
Samsung?s warranty for the water-resistant Galaxy S4 Active doesn?t cover water damage | VentureBeat
Dunking your phone in three feet of water might sound crazy, but with the Galaxy S4 Active, it’s something Samsung actively encourages.
So why doesn’t Samsung’s warranty for the device cover water damage?
...
The problem, however, is mostly in the way Samsung is advertising the phone: While some advertisements for the S4 Active bill it as “whoops-proof” — i.e., it can survive an accidental dunk in a pool — features like the device’s “Aqua Mode” paint a different picture: This is a device, Samsung says, that can — and should – be used underwater, regardless of how conventionally stupid doing such a thing is.
As a result, there seems to be something profoundly wrong with encouraging underwater photography while simultaneously denying liability if things go wrong after users actually take advantage of the feature. When you give people a false sense of security, bad experiences are inevitable.

We have actually seen a reasonable variety of high-end waterproof smartphones introduced this year and the suppliers have been boldy pressing their device’s capacity remaining under-water. Sony and Samsung lead the group with their IP67 grade water immune Xperia Z and Galaxy S4 Active. Yet, is it a sensible selection buying these devices and can they really cope with water really well? To help us with the response, a man that calls themselves a qualified AT&T worker carried out an experiment on his Galaxy S4 Active tool to check its waterproofing. He said he did the experiment as he was receiving a couple of grievances on the phone’s incapability to manage water.

He dipped the S4 Active in an aquarium to check its aqua method, to his shock the mobile phone began being mischievous the 2nd time he attempted it. He located dampness when eliminated the back lid and a great deal of water in the USB slot when he eliminated the rubber seal. According to exactly what he claims, he took all the preventive measures before performing the test.
The paradoxical bit is, none of the manufacturers provide their water-resistant gadget’s under damage due to water. A great deal of individuals fall prey to commercials which neatly highlight the tool managing water efficiently and look virtually indestructible. They forget to read through the warnings which are printed at the bottom of the advertisement in quite little letters. What it basically implies is, ‘Do Exactly what You Desired Yet At Your Own Danger!’.
Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active?s warranty proves phones and water don?t mix ? Tech News and Analysis
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active might be ‘whoops-proof,’ as Samsung likes to say, but that doesn’t mean you should take it with you on your next trip to the beach. Even though the phone carries an IP67 rating against dust and water immersion, its warranty doesn’t actually cover dust or water damage. Whoops.
It recently came to light on Reddit, along with customer reviews on Amazon and AT&T, that some early Active adopters were experiencing problems with the phone after using it underwater. Ordinarily this isn’t the type of complaint you hear from experienced smartphone users. After all, if you drop a standard Galaxy S 4 into the toilet, you stick it in a bag of rice, hope for the best, and move on if it doesn’t recover. Water damage is just one of the risks you’re willing to put up with when you buy a delicate device.
The problem is, Samsung’s marketing campaign for the S 4 Active practically begs you to use the phone underwater. There’s even a special “Aqua Mode” that can be triggered to “increase visual quality and clarity for enhanced underwater images and video.” I don’t know about you, but that makes me want to go find a pool and shoot as many dumb underwater videos as I can until the memory runs out.
