Just wanted to point out the difference in water resistance between Pixel and S7 since it was confirmed it has some resistance since we originally thought Pixel had nothing. Pixel is basically the former standard before Samsung started pushing waterproofing last year. I still think its a non-issue but a nice-to-have.
http://www.dsmt.com/resources/ip-rating-chart/
Pixel is IP53
Solids: 5
| Dust Protected | Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact. |
Liquids: 3
| Spraying water | Water falling as a spray at any angle up to 60° from the vertical shall have no harmful effect. |
Galaxy S7 is IP68
Solids: 6 (highest)
| Dust Tight | No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact. |
Liquids: 8 (highest - up to 30m)
| Immersion beyond 1m | The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which shall be specified by the manufacturer. Normally, this will mean that the equipment is hermetically sealed. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only in such a manner that it produces no harmful effects. |
Also - Pixel is rated as the best smartphone camera ever.
"DxO gave the Pixel a score of 89, which is the highest score they have ever given a smartphone."
