It looks like water-resistant phones are going to be the trend this year. First, Samsung jumped on the bandwagon with the Galaxy S5 and, if reports from Korean media are to be believed, the Note 4 and LG G3 will be water resistant as well.
According to the report, while Samsung went with a third party Korean company for waterproofing the Galaxy S4, LG will be using its own internally-developed technology. Samsung will, apparently, once again go with a third party company to waterproof, via the silicon film method, its upcoming phablet — the Galaxy Note 4.
The report also suggests that LG plans on releasing the G3 sometime in May this year, which matches perfectly with the rumors we have heard up until now.
With innovation in the smartphone industry slowing down, OEMs will have to look at other tempting features to differentiate their products, and waterproofing their flagship devices is just a part of that plan.
