Samsung claims that its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7, can survive being immersed in water as deep as 1.5-meters for approximately thirty minutes. However, one very optimistic YouTuber, who operates under the name of Unbox Therapy, took it upon himself to push the handset to the extreme in order to see if it could last not one, not two, but sixteen hours in a jar of water. Much to our surprise, after removal from the receptacle, the device was functioning perfectly. Although, we suspect that it had to be left for a very long period of time to dry before it could be recharged.

Check out the experiment in the video below:
