Purchaser Reports says a Samsung telephone that is promoted as being "water safe" really isn't.
The issue seems restricted to the Galaxy S7 Active, a tough model accessible just through AT&T in the US. The standard S7 and S7 Edge models have the same cases on water resistance and breezed through tests.
Customer Reports, a non-benefit association that is very much regarded for its item testing, said Friday that it can't suggest the Active since it doesn't meet Samsung's own particular cases. By difference, Consumer Reports rates the S7 and S7 Edge telephones as "Fantastic" for their presentations, battery life and cameras.
Maria Rerecich, Consumer Reports' executive of gadgets testing, said she was astonished the Active fizzled. She said Samsung's cases are as a rule "genuinely great."
Samsung told Consumer Reports that it is examining and has gotten not very many objections. Samsung told The Associated Press that while the Active is intended to be a standout amongst the most tough telephones out there, "there might be a remote possibility that an imperfect gadget is not as watertight as it ought to be."
Samsung says all S7 telephones, including the Active, are intended to make due in up to 5 feet of water for 30 minutes. Buyer Reports says that following a half-hour in water, the Active's screen flashed green and different hues and didn't react to touch. Little air pockets showed up on the camera lenses. Buyer Reports tried a second Active telephone to check results and it additionally fizzled.
Rerecich said it's imaginable that the issues influence just a portion of the units fabricated, however "we purchased two and they both fizzled." Both units were purchased on the web.
Samsung says the Active can withstand drops of up to 5 feet on a level surface, however Consumer Reports did not test those cases.
In the US, the Active telephone costs $795 (generally Rs. 53,000), which is the same cost as the Edge, and $100 more than the standard S7.
