Samsung has always focused on the quality of its products, which is why it has introduced a number of significant changes to them over the years. To ensure the security of his devices, he has applied many improvements to them, which are not only limited to the software, but also to the hardware.
Water is the most common factor that affects the life of electronic devices. Samsung took this aspect seriously some time ago and focused on making waterproof devices, including phones and tablets. The IP certification indicates the device's resistance to water and dust - the first number in it indicates dust resistance, the second water resistance, and the higher both numbers, the better the device is protected against dust and water.
Samsung has launched a number of devices that have various IP certifications, with its foldable smartphones being "only" waterproof (this should change with the new foldables, which should be enabled by a new hinge design). Here is the list of devices Galaxy, which have IP certification.

In laboratory conditions and without guarantee for heating 😀
Stupidity, it is written everywhere that it must not be put into salt water, and then immediately rinsed in fresh water.
There is one small catch that is not mentioned and that is that it does not apply to salt water in the event of a claim….
Of course, don't expect Samsung to accept a claim if you drown your phone.
A very stupid article that tricks people into destroying their devices?
Salty sea water is something else entirely and IP68 won't help you one bit. That is why diving cases are sold not only for mobile phones, but also for cameras, etc.
