Geared with an extremely good camera, great display and featuring IP68 water resistance, the limited edition phone seems to be a perfect device for any Olympian, DroidLife reported.
In other news, Samsung has come back at allegations that its Galaxy S7 Active device is not as watertight as it should be.
