Samsung's Galaxy S7 phone may be water resistant - CNET

It hasn't been officially announced, but details on the Samsung Galaxy S7 continue to rain down.

A video on a Samsung Indonesia website offers the tagline "Get ready for #TheNextGalaxy." The clip is posted alongside a timeline that hints at the Galaxy S7.

The video shows Indonesian archer Dellie Threesyadinda as she takes a Galaxy S phone with her during an intense training session. One scene reveals her removing the phone from a wireless charger. A later scene shows her using the phone in the rain as drops bounce harmlessly off the screen.

The Galaxy S7 needs to capture the interest of consumers after last year's Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge failed to provide a boost to Samsung's struggling smartphone sales. The company has been hurt by budget-friendly Chinese phones on the low end and by Apple's iPhone on the high end. The challenge for Samsung is to outfit its flagship phone with mode, enticing features yet keep the price competitive.

Water resistance and wireless charging are nothing new to phones, and it's unclear if the expected features would ignite consumers' interest. Even with all the rain in the teaser, Samsung noted in the video description that the "product is not water resistant" and the clip is strictly a dramatization.
