I've used these for a long time and like them. Unlike ziplock they are actually tested and rated to stay dry when submerged. They'd likely keep your smartphone safe in the water (so long as the bag is in good condition and the zip doesn't get jostled. They're not intended to be used as an underwater case, so photos shot thru the bag would look like junk. Touch screens work thru the bag, with some loss of sensitivity. Keep in mind that the bags are not gusseted, so they work best for skinny items. They are NOT a replacement for a good dry bag.
I mostly use them for organizing and protecting contents of my first aid kit, camera batteries, and iPhone while hiking/kayaking/whatever.

BadCatI’ve used these successfully scuba diving down to 60 feet with now problem maintaining dryness inside the bags. As noted you don’t want to try to take photos through the bag as the have a high mil thickness. Original test was leaving 12 nails in a bag submerged in my pool at 8 1/2 feet from closing in September till opening the following May. Opened the bag and there was no rust at all.
