You know that Sony smartphone you bought for its “waterproof” form factor? Whatever you do, don’t take it under water.

Despite boasting about their water-resistance capabilities, opening underwater smartphone stores, and using promotional shots like the one above, Sony is now warning customers not to get its Xperia smartphones too wet.

Motorola’s upcoming 2015 Moto G promises to be a big improvement over its predecessors. Not only will it bring new internals, but also a refined form factor that, according to new leaked pictures, will boast an IPX7 water-resistance rating.

Jive-speaker

Use the Jive in your shower, at the beach, at your next pool party — or make it your excuse to throw one.

With 10 booming watts and the ability to withstand submersion in up to 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes, the Jive brings the beat, rain or shine, for up to 12 hours straight — and thanks to Cult of Android Deals, it has 42% off for a limited time.

At this point we’re expecting a lot of great things from the Galaxy S6 — including stellar specifications and an all-new design. But like any other smartphone, it won’t be perfect. According to a new report, Samsung’s next-generation flagship will drop one of the features that made the Galaxy S5 so great: water-resistance.

OnePlus-One-water

No, the OnePlus One is not waterproof — and no, its warranty does not cover water damage. Don’t be fooled by those YouTube videos that claim it is, then. While the handset is designed to withstand mist and the odd rain droplet, it will not survive submersion in water, so don’t try bathing with it.
