It has consistently been rumored that the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge will be water resistant. The existing flagships don't play nice with water but it looks like the upcoming handsets will get along with it just fine. Soon after Samsung Indonesia posted a video online which more or less confirmed that the next flagship handsets will be water resistant, Samsung is teasing the same feature through its official Twitter account.

“Change your idea of what a phone can handle,” says the tweet, and it also features a short clip which shows the unfortunate incident of a young lady dropping her phone in the pool, implying that you wouldn't need to worry about the Galaxy S7 dying out on you should you drop it in the pool. Samsung is going to unveil the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge on February 21 and pre-orders are expected to go live the very same day with deliveries likely started March 11 in launch markets.
