To be fair, accidental damage is never covered under "warranty" (or any other extended service guarantee "warranty equivalents") from any manufacturer. Given these black rectangles go everywhere with us, it's still very good to have a device that won't absolutely crap itself as soon as it gets dropped in water.
I say this as someone who often sees customers bring in water damaged devices, wanting their data off of it.
Frankly though, I wish the term used was "water resistance" and not "waterproof". That semantic annoys me.
Im curios how often do you drop your phone in water? I swear to god in my now 35 years, I never lost a phone nor a smartphone due to water damage...
I swim with my galaxy phone. It's nice to be able to take pics of my son anywhere in the water park.
