Ask Agent About This Product

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is water-resistant with an IP68 rating, not technically waterproof. This rating means it can survive submersion in up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) of fresh water for 30 minutes under laboratory conditions.

What IP68 Means

• 6 (Dust protection): Complete barrier against dust and particles
• 8 (Water protection): Withstands submersion in still, fresh water at room temperature

Real-World Limitations

The IP68 rating doesn't cover all water exposure:

• Chlorinated water: Pool chemicals can damage seals
• Salt water: Ocean water is corrosive to electronics
• Soapy water: Detergents compromise water-resistant barriers
• High-pressure water: Showers and faucets can force water past seals
• Hot water and steam: Heat affects the protective sealing

Protection Decreases Over Time

Everyday use gradually weakens water resistance. Drops, impacts, and normal wear affect the seals. Samsung's warranty does not cover water damage, reflecting the real-world variability of water exposure.

Safe vs. Risky Situations

Safe: Rain, accidental splashes, brief submersion from drops into shallow water, sweaty hands

Risky: Underwater photography, swimming, showering, pool or ocean exposure

Additional Durability

The S25 Ultra's titanium frame and Corning Gorilla Armor 2 glass provide excellent drop and scratch protection alongside its water resistance. For everyday accidents, the phone is well-protected.
