Samsung fixes Galaxy S7 Active's waterproofing problem
Earlier this month, Consumer Reports found that two units of the Galaxy S7 Active failed a water immersion test that was within the limits of the phones' IP68 rating. Samsung issued a statement, saying that it will replace any S7 Active that suffers water damage.
In an additional statement to Consumer Reports, Samsung said that it found a manufacturing problem in the production line that has since been corrected.
