It was not water resistant, actually. I'd know. Mine was broken when I got pushed into a swimming pool. :(
It was, even had a cover for the USB port. I took a few baths with it (really dumb idea now that I think about it)
Lol you're thinking of the S5
Honestly, though. The S5 has a user-replaceable battery, IP67 water/dust resistance, USB 3.0, a fingerprint reader, a headphone jack, an AMOLED display, expandable storage, awesome cameras...It was absolutely peak Samsung and the phone's only major flaw is the Micro Type B port.
Well, allow me to express my apologies then, I was wrong
It's all good, dude.
You mean the micro USB 3.0 v1 which was backwards compatible with micro usb. That's right you could use the new fangled USB 3.0 port and cable and get those speeds as well as charging rate. Or....... Use a bog generic USB micro USB 2.0 cable and it would still fit on one side of the port and was still useable for USB 2.0 speeds and charging rates.
But I concede that it is one of the worst and most delicate ports ever stuck on something expected to have a plug jammed in it literally a thousand times.
