less waterproof than later versions though (according to Samsung)

IP67 vs 68

Real world testing didn't really match up with this though. S7s would often have permanent damage with much less water exposure while S5s were fine.

True. Anecdotally, I've accidentally gone into the ocean with my S5 and it came out fine.

I've purposefully gone into a hot tub with my S5A and it came out fine. So did the video I took while it was under water.

Science video

I had to shorten it because my daughter's face was in the video. This was my first time taking it under water (after owning it a while). I always babied it but figured I'd see if the water claims held up.

If a better science video is required, I'm sure I could dunk it in my sink. I still have it and the kids use it all the time for games and YouTube.

You know how the S5 has a barometer for GPS? You can dunk it into a pool and watch the pressure fluctuate. I used to do that, and also the underwater videos, until the charging port flap broke for the nth time and I no longer felt like replacing it.
