        That's very stupid of you to say. They made a tough S7, and yet it failed to meet sammy's claims. It is their fault, and they SHOULD be ashamed for lying to the customers.

Is see no reason why Samsung should be "ashamed". They delivered S7 and S7 edge, the most advanced smartphone on the market, with possibly the most beautiful design, which as well happens to be IP certified and has not failed the tests.

                    Both S7 and S7 Edge have a barometer - exactly like S7 Active.

                        Well Samsung just needs to go back to the drawing board then. I'm not an Android fan, but I respect Samsung as a company.

                          Anonymous, 10 Jul 2016But almost all your friends and family dont do that.Because only my had waterproof feature;)

                                  So whatever this report says, both me and my wife are sticking with Sammy

                                      That is what samsung is about. Chineese in disguise. Ultra low quality with unuseful gimmicks and shameless business tacticks.
