Does the Galaxy S8 or Gear S3 Frontier have a water eject feature like Apple Watch? If so, how do I access it?

Hey @Matt001! The devices you have concerns about do not have water ejection feature implemented. However, both of the devices have water and dust resistance with IP68 ratings!

Yeah I'm not sure why "water ejection" (never heard of it) would be necessary on a device with IP68 rating... Makes it sound like a frog going for a leak lol 😂
Galaxy S
only apple devices need this because they are IP67 ahaha.

he's talking about the speaker grill area. water could get trapped inside or take long to evaporate potentially causing issues with speaker sound quality. it's a sonic tone at around 165Hz that causes enough resonance to force the water out. There are several apps that can emulate those tones for similar effect.
