I just got my new Galaxy S5. I've seen the videos showing just how well the phone holds up to water, and I showered with it this morning to test it out for myself. It worked perfectly before, during and after, so I'm pretty much sold on the validity of Samsung's waterproof claims, but before I can fully trust it in water I need a question answered.
Should the waterproofing fail at any point, what is the worst that could happen?
For example, if I'm taking a bath and want to read an e-book and I drop the phone in the tub, if the waterproofing somehow failed and water leaked in, would the phone suffer damage or is there an actual threat of electrocution? Obviously the phone is not meant to be used near water while plugged in, I'm talking about off battery power here.
