    My last Google Pixel barely touched water and that was the end of that. Meanwhile, I remember a friend literally dropping his flip phone into a glass of beer (intentionally to show off its waterproofness) nearly two decades ago and it being perfectly fine after he took it out.

    I don’t have a point, I’m just still bitter about the Pixel. I wish more companies would make smaller phones.

      Weird that your Pixel didn’t handle water

      I’ve dropped my 8 pro into the tub like 8 times in the 8 months ive owned it and it just disabled the port and is fine

      Same with my pixel 6, 4, and 2 XL

      Come to think of it I haven’t lost a phone to liquid since my LG G7, which I dropped into a bucket of diesel

      My Pixel Fold got dropped in sub zero ethenol (don’t ask), and it was fine. So I think you just got unlucky.
