Hey guys! 

 

Back in last winter I was already thinking about getting the S7 Edge after I've heard rumors of it being water proof, I was imagining how amazing it would be to take some pictures and videos from underwater.

But is the sealing in the S7 Edge waterproof when the water has chlorine (swimming pool) or salt (sea) in it? 

 

Someone told me the S7 Edge's sealing will break down if you put it in salty sea water or in the pool (with chlorine)

It's "Water resistant" Which means if you plan to take pictures really near to the surface like 2 feet under, you'll probably be fine. I wouldn't spend much time with it underwater though, especially in the ocean.
