None of those phones are IP68 rating
IP68 didn't exist when the galaxy S5 came out. The fairphone has a replaceable screen and is made by a tiny company that doesn't have the budget for full waterproof testing. Often phones will have waterproofing but will not spend the money for the expensive testing for certification, see: Pocophone, etc.
Well then I like my phones a little bit more expensive then since they're certified. Gives me peace of mind.
I mean, it still ultimately means nothing if it's not covered by warranty.
The Sony Xperia phones back in the day were literally advertised as being able to "live underwater"; was there any guarantee that it wouldn't just die in a light shower? lol no
I like how you keep getting down voted even though you have made it clear that it's your own personal choice/bias and acknowledge it's not for everyone.
I agree both options would be good ๐
