Samsung Galaxy S9 si iPhone X I am going through an extremely interesting test that shows us how well the two mobile phones are protected against contact with water, and the result is a bit disappointing. As you will see, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is more resistant than the iPhone X when it comes to contact with water, but neither of the two phones resists well enough to remain functional after the tests done.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 resists without problems in front of the iPhone X when submerged 1.5 meters under water for 26 minutes, the Apple company's phone becoming unusable after the water penetrated under its case. The result is surprising given the fact that a test done by the same YouTuber right after the iPhone X was launched, had a completely different result, the phone resisting for a longer period of time at the same depth.
Samsung Galaxy S9 vs iPhone X – the water resistance test
The Samsung Galaxy S9, on the other hand, is destroyed only after diving to a depth of 6 meters and a jump from a bridge into water, so we are talking about a high level of resistance for the new smartphone. The fact that it stopped working at such a depth is not surprising, and this is because it is difficult to protect a smartphone, be it Samsung Galaxy S9 or another, at such a great depth, and this is a normal thing.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is certified by the Samsung company with water and dust resistance based on the IP68 standard, while the iPhone X has an IP67 certification, so it is quite clear that there are differences between the two phones. Even so, past tests showed that the iPhone X is more resistant than we see it now, while the Samsung Galaxy S9 has practically the same degree of resistance as the previous models launched on global markets.
