water resistance is pretty loving cool for tablets, but it's just a weird vanity feature for phones - except it makes your phone easy to clean in the sink

when did water resistance become important? android did it first but now the stebephone has it and it's suddenly a feature we can't do without?

The glorious Galaxy Note 7 is what happens when a company isn't afraid to go crazy
SAMSUNG EXPERIMENTS WILDLY, BUT REFINES JUDICIOUSLY
Where the Korean company has most distinguished itself is in learning from its mistakes, correcting them, and delivering better products as a result. Some disappointed users here and there are collateral damage in the grand scheme of things, the cracked eggs necessary for cooking the omelette.
TURNING THE WHOLE WORLD INTO BETA TESTERS HAS ITS ADVANTAGES
Obviously, Samsung's in a more privileged position than its smaller rivals like HTC — who necessarily have to be more conservative with their tighter budgets and resources — but what Samsung's example shows today is the advantage of mixing ambitious experimentation with diligent refinement. If Samsung wasn't bold and a little bit crazy in its prototype development, if its designers didn't sustain and refine their vision, we would be eyeing yet another flat slab — which might still have been awesome, but not quite as awesome as the Note 7.

0.7 points off seems totally reasonable for a phone that forces evacuations of airliners.

i mean lol letting a kid use your phone as a pacifier sometimes leads to karma

i got a waterproof phone a couple years ago and at first it was just a lol gimmick but really it's turned out really handy. if you ever spill something on it you can wash it. you don't have to worry about getting food goo on it if you're using it for recipes when you cook. you can use it in the rain. plus as an outdoorsy person i can take it swimming and boating etc
