Guess it is waterproof

Not bad shots from a phone
Just stuck the top with the lens in the water.
I tried the whole phone but found that I can't control the touch screen.

Great shots. Looks like it was taken with the Samsung Galaxy S7.

I'm amazed that those were taken with a phone camera.

Very nice! I've always been impressed with the samsung phone camera for its white balance. It's really good at ignoring the excessive blue violet that the iPhone seems to love so much.

I love my iPhone6+ but it can't seem to take good close up
I'm using the pro mode and playing with the shutter speed. ISO and white bal doesn't seem to help. Lighting is a radion 3 12k 100%

I was wondering about this subject as I bought a new Samsung just for it's photo capabilities after seeing a couple of threads using it with great success. I have to say it takes way better pics than my old I-Phone, but it was a couple of models old. I may have to get up the nerve to "dunk" it. Thanks for sharing. By the way Samsung says to rinse in freshwater after immersion in the ocean.
