Arguably one of the biggest design changes that Samsung made in so many years, was with the Galaxy S8 and their decision of removing the iconic home button. However, Samsung did keep the important features, like the IP68 water and dust resistance which keeps the flagship devices running smooth and flawless up to 5 feet for 30 minutes under water.

Users have reported that even after some brief contact with water or moisture, the Galaxy S8 is showing up a notification that doesn’t seem to go away. This notification has to do with the fact that the sensors in the USB Type-C port of the Galaxy S8 pick up the smallest amount of moisture to protect your device before the next time you charge it.
