ACCC (ACCC) has sued Samsung , alleging the tech giant made misleading claims about the water resistance of its smartphones to attract customers. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said it viewed more than 300 Samsung adverts which depicted devices in seawater and swimming pools, contrary to advice about the Samsung S10 on The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission 's website. In its statement, the ACCC said Samsung adverts depicted phones being exposed to seawater and swimming pools and claimed that this would not affect the device during its working life. The company said it "stood by" its advertising, but faces a large fine if found guilty.
