Η Samsung she accepted her mistake and decided to compromise with her ACCC for her false allegations on waterproofing its devices and pay $ 14 million fine
Αin 2019 the Australian Competition and Consumer Committee (ACCC) had launched an investigation into her ads Samsung on the waterproofing of its devices.
These ads played both on TV and online on the Internet, stating that 7 Samsung Galaxy models are water resistant to depth 1.5m for 30 minutes and showed their falls in swimming pools and the sea.
It turned out, however, that the waterproofing promised by Samsung (and any other manufacturer) only applies to "accidents" and use in fresh water, as salt or chlorinated water can corrode the charging socket relatively quickly.
Samsung admitted its mistake and decided to compromise with it ACCC for her false allegations and pay $ 14 million fine., as well as to make changes in the hardware and software of the devices in order to more accurately reflect the waterproofing of its devices.
According to the ACCC announcement,
Punishment is not something special for a colossus like Samsung, but it also serves as a good reminder to the users we see using their smartphones for underwater shots at sea, that they are quite likely to cause some serious damage.
