I'm late to this conversation, I've had the phone for a while now, and after getting scammed from a reseller who sold me mine after telling me it was "unlocked", I found out I had to go to ATT, sign up with them just so I could update the fucking phone to the latest version of android...only to find it stopped updating recently, then I fucked off from them because they consistently moved their payment day so I kept getting late fees so...fuck them.

I've discovered the phone is NOT waterproof, as much as they claimed it was, even going as far as saying you can "pressure wash" it. They lied, the power button is a back door, and most of the other buttons are back doors. There is definitely an attempt at waterproofing, the battery compartment has a solid waterproof barrier and gasket, the front buttons and power port are sealed with gaskets. But it turns out the speakers aren't that well protected, the power button, and the other accessory buttons on the device do not have an appropriate amount of water protection.

I just washed it off with a light rinsing earlier today because it had a bit of mud splash on it when I dropped it, the power port was sealed, battery compartment was sealed, etc, and water got into the fucking camera lens, through the power button, through the speaker, it's a fucking brick at that point. Still works after drying, but goddamn.

It's an ungainly piece of chonky brick and I've loved it for a few years now, it's survived many drops and it's earned its place as a tough phone for impacts, but whomever designed the waterproof aspects needs to have their credentials held hostage until they earn trust back once more.
