Cool S9 story in Samsung UK's Twitter inbox last week!
Skier finds their Samsung Galaxy S9 that was lost on a mountain in the Alps for five months… and it works perfectly.
Lost...
So, back in February, Jamie gut-wrenchingly lost his Galaxy S9 on a snow-covered Alpine mountain he was skiing down - along with all the awesome photos he had been taking with the phone.
A search at the time turned up a blank; and Jamie was resigned to the sad truth that the phone was lost to the wild might of the mountain.
Endurance...
For five months, enduring altitude, rain, snow, ice , freezing cold, heat, sun, wind, and anything else the mountain could throw at it, the S9 patiently lay asleep upon the Alpine slopes.
... And Found!
Five months after their abrupt parting, whilst he was in the same area, a sudden urge struck Jamie to maybe try another search for the lost phone. Perhaps like last time, it would be in vain - but if you don't try you never succeed, right?
This time slim hope was rewarded with... SUCCESS!
Powering up the dormant phone resulted in the joyful whir and stir of awakened machine life - and the rediscovery of all those photo memories; perfectly preserved in pristine condition!

Well that really is amazing-though that would have been long shot. Good to have the cherished memories back No chance of losing my phone skiing mind you
