The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are officially hitting stores tomorrow — though they’re already in the hands of some pre-order customers — and to celebrate, T-Mobile decided to try and set some Guinness World Records.
A video posted by T-Mobile today shows the carrier setting two Guinness World Records using the Samsung Galaxy S9. The first tasks a water skier with setting the record for fastest text on a touchscreen mobile phone while being towed by a blimp, and the second record is the greatest distance water skied by being towed by a blimp.
As a reminder, the Galaxy S9 costs $0 down and $30 per month for 24 months on EIP, $0 down and $32 per month with JUMP! On Demand, or $720 full retail. The Galaxy S9+ will set you back $120 down and $30 per month on EIP, $0 down and $37.67 per month on JOD, or $840 full retail.
