Samsung taken to court in Australia for misleading customers about IP rating

04 July 2019
The company's ads showed the phone being used in the ocean, even if it was only tested in “fresh water” conditions.

To f*c with the small print like some a-holes are advocating here.

If your device cannot do something, then the advertisements should correspond correctly to it. Tomorrow I cannot launch a phone which is operating at a depth of 100 km as per advertisements, only to write on the box *this phone cannot hold up over 10 meters deep water.

                  Good, the zealots should be called out for defending this sort of nonsense. Corporations are not your friends, they will suck you dry leave you for dead if they can make money doing it. Remember that before you shill for any company like their are your family.
