A YouTube personality conducts a water resistance test between the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 7 Plus. The test involves submerging both phones in water, first at 3 feet and then at 5 feet, to see how they hold up. The Samsung Galaxy S8 performs well, surviving the test without any issues. The iPhone 7 Plus, however, experiences some problems, including a non-functional home button and water damage. The personality then takes the Samsung Galaxy S8 for a swim in a river, recording 4K video while in the water, and the phone continues to function normally. The test concludes that the Samsung Galaxy S8 is more water-resistant than the iPhone 7 Plus.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The Samsung Galaxy S8 has an IP68 water resistance rating, which means it can withstand being submerged in 5 meters of water for 30 minutes.
