The 'Comet' Device Boasts Floating Capabilities When Submerged in Water
Cadhla Gray — September 22, 2015 — Tech
This waterproof phone is a new product launched on Kickstarter that may prove to be the first buoyant smartphone that can actually rise to the top of the surface when dunked in water. It is yet to be seen whether this buoyancy will be a reality, but what is known is that it is certainly waterproof and less dense than both the iPhone 6s and Samsung Galaxy Note.
The 'Comet' also boasts other great specs like a 4.7 inch screen that wraps around its edges. The waterproof phone also features lights on its perimeter that change color, even reflecting the user's mood. It has four GB RAM and a strong front and back camera with 16 megapixel sensors. The front and back camera can take photographs simultaneously -- making secretly taking a selfie even easier.
