The Samsung Galaxy S25 series, including the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra, features an IP68 rating, which indicates a high level of resistance to dust and water. Specifically, the IP68 rating means these devices can withstand immersion in fresh water up to 1.5 meters for a maximum of 30 minutes under controlled laboratory conditions[1][3][7].
However, it is crucial to note that while the Galaxy S25 is designed to resist water, it is not completely waterproof. Samsung's guidelines specify that exposure to seawater or chlorinated pool water is not advisable. These types of water contain chemicals and salts that can potentially damage the phone's seals and internal components over time[1][2][4].
In practical terms, while the Galaxy S25 can handle accidental splashes or brief exposure to clean fresh water, prolonged exposure or submersion in seawater or pool water should be avoided to maintain its protective capabilities[3][9]. If the device does come into contact with such water, it is recommended to rinse it with clean fresh water immediately and dry it thoroughly to mitigate any potential damage[2][4].
