I am sure Samsung won't use the premium glue for sealing the back cover of this phone, you can see iphone 7 also use a lower gred glue for sealing the back cover. The result is when you slightly bend the phone it will lost the waterproofing.

By the way, Sony XZ use the premium glue for sealing the back cover it is sturdy and waterproofing.

    AnonD-510275, 31 Dec 2016In South East Asia, especialy in Indonesia, only A series h... morethe price of second-hand smartphone are determined by the buyers, the more buyer means more 'stable' price.. In Indonesia, only affordable phones and popular phones who got stable second-hand price, not the premium phones..

      Why do Sony fans act like they created the first water resistant phone ever, and what have they contributed since?

                            At first you say ip68 but on the a5 specs, it's ip67? So is this post fake, or the specs wrong on the phone?

Good differentiation for this premium mid-ranger line... moreIn South East Asia, especialy in Indonesia, only A series have the most "drop-price". Even J series have the better price stability than S series. But that doesn't mean A series having bad selling. I think that would be nice if it will have waterproof feature for the a little bit premium price range.
