The IP68 certification allows devices to be submerged in water up to 5-ft deep for 30 minutes and also allows the device to brave rain, sweat, sand and dust — improving its longevity. “At Samsung, we are always trying to ensure our customers have the most advanced products on the market. The latest Galaxy A series is a testament to this,” said DJ Koh, President of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. All the three devices are also equipped with a reversible USB Type-C port and also features an Always on Display which shows the time and calendar, helping users to see those without waking up the device and saving battery life too. The devices are encased in a metal frame and also sport a premium 3D glass back. “We integrated our unique approach to design as well as the features Galaxy customers have come to love to provide added performance without compromising on style,” he added. The devices also have a secure folder which uses biometric authentication to open up — users can keep their data and other content safe in this folder.
