Salt Water Phone Depth Challenge!

The video opens with a mesh bag and six smartphones being submerged to test their saltwater durability down to 60 feet. On the surface, several devices still respond to touch and appear to power on, including the iPhone 6s, LG G5, Moto X Play, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, Galaxy S7, and a rugged Kyocera Duraforce. Early results show mixed success: the LG G5 and Xperia Z5 Premium die quickly at shallow depths, while the Galaxy S7 demonstrates impressive resilience with an IP6+ rating, continuing to work at 10 feet. The experiment escalates to 20 and then 30 feet, where the Duraforce dies between 10 and 20 feet, and the Galaxy S7 maintains its performance notably longer than the others, surviving to around 30 feet before issues arise. After the dive, the team confirms the S7 as the standout performer in salt water, with the other devices largely failing or unrecovering, and they plan to recover the phones in fresh water and alcohol to assess potential revive attempts. The episode also features a sponsor mention for Phantom Glass screen protectors and a call to like, subscribe, and support via affiliate links, weaving in promotional content with technical testing. By the end, the crew acknowledges that underwater survivability is mixed, with the Galaxy S7 leading the pack while several modern devices fail under saltwater conditions, prompting discussions about the limits of waterproofing in consumer phones.
