Waterproof components listed for Galaxy S7 on import tracking site
July 17, 2025
Thosewaterproof Galaxy S7– or at least water-resistant – rumors are starting to look increasingly solid. Import tracking site Zauba has revealed several “waterproof” components for devices with the tell-tale model numbers SM-G930 and SM-G935, those associated with theGalaxy S7andGalaxy S7 Edgerespectively.
Samsung assembles its devices locally in India, so the import tracking data for a “waterproof SIM tray”, “waterproof mic” and “conductive gasket tape” certainly point to a water-resistant Galaxy S7. Rumors have already indicated an IP67 rating (dustproof and water-resistant up to one meter for up to half an hour). IP67 is the same rating found on theGalaxy S5, although it had a waterproof flap over its USB 3.0 port.
The listing mentions other things too, like “waterproof octa” and “waterproof HRM” for the Galaxy S7 Edge. “Conductive gasket tape octa” is already known to be found in the Galaxy S5, as you can see on thisservice parts siteand HRM likely refers to the heart-rate monitor. With the return of microSD expansion and water-resistance looking like a lock, are these details enough to make you think twice about the Galaxy S7?
