I went kayaking with my friend yesterday and about half way through in the rapids, we were both unable to steer and ended up hitting a tree. He was able to grab on but my kayak went under and flipped. My phone was in my pocket but I had forgotten about it while trying to save my speaker and our car keys in the kayaks dry box ( there not dry at all) so when I got everything I then remembered my phone which was underwater that whole time in my pocket. I didn't worry to much because I had to run after other stuff that was floating down the creek. My friend said he had dried it off and it worked fine. I looked at it and it will turn on but only for about a second then flicker then turn off. So I turned it fully off and put it in a bag of rice ( probably took 30-45 min before going in the rice) and I was wondering just how water resistant the phone is so I can maybe get an idea if it will survive.

It just has water repellent nano coding. So it's water resistant, but being submerged is kinda a bad idea. I think it'll survive but the idk about the speakers and the USB port.
