The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has sued Samsung, alleging the tech giant made misleading claims about the water resistance of its smartphones to attract customers. Samsung Australia said it was "disappointed" by the ACCC's decision but would continue with a legal challenge against the company. The company said it "stood by" its advertising, but faces a large fine if found guilty.

ACCC said it viewed more than 300 Samsung adverts which depicted devices in seawater and swimming pools, contrary to advice about the Galaxy S10 on Samsung's website. The company said it "stood by" its advertising, but faces a large fine if found guilty.
