Weirdly the normal S7 and edge version passed the test

It did pass my, "oh shit, the phone slipped out of my hand and into the dish sink" test, though.

100%. I've a new little one as well, and dropped my phone within a month of birth. Only I was actually reading it at the time, and yes, it went in the toilet. :)
