JAKARTA The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra showed good resistance after being accidentally submerged in the water. Not in ordinary water, this flagship cellphone is submerged in the cool water of the Kalix River.
After removing the cellphone from the water, Samsung proudly stated that the cellphone was fine. In fact, no problems were found on the cellphone even though it was submerged for a long time in extreme conditions.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra that fell into the water belonged to Mikael Krekula, a wild guide living in Kiruna, Sweden. At that time, Mikael was in the Kalix River testing sonar equipment. However, surprisingly, his cellphone fell.
The phone slipped from his gloves into the hole used to fish for ice. The device fell to a depth of three meters. Mikael also gave up, but in the end decided to look for his cellphone by drilling eight ice holes.
For five hours of drilling, Mikael finally found the right angle to take his cellphone with a simple tool such as the branches of the banteng of the beer tree, the shovel, and the plastic bag on the stick. Fortunately, the phone was able to return safely.

"I can see my phone through the ice. The phone is not completely lost, it's just barely affordable," Mikael said. Finally, I went home, took a summer fishing net, tied the net to the trunk of the birich tree, and came back and within five minutes, the phone was already in my hand.
Mikael also revealed that his phone didn't turn off at all. When the screen was on in his life, the phone immediately turned on with three calls unanswered. The day after the incident occurred, his phone was still on.
This finding is quite surprising because the Galaxy S23 Ultra only has an IP68 rating, which offers up to 1.5 meters of water resistance in fresh water. Samsung's test only took 30 minutes.
However, what happened to Mikael was more than that. The phone can last more than five hours in cold water with very extreme temperatures.
