Do You Need A Waterproof Smartphone? Check Out Why You Need One by Tarivanessa(f): 10:42am On Sep 18, 2018
Water and electronics don’t mix, now the major cause of liquid damage on a phone is due to the presence of water the internal part of the

smartphone. But with the waterproof smartphones, the case is different. This is because the waterproof smartphones are covered with a water resistant coating that protects them against rain, sweat, spills or when tumbled in water or a puddle.

There are various types of water resistant categories. These are categorized with a rating determined by the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC). The most common ratings you'll come across are IP67 and IP68. Smartphones with an IP67 rating are fully protected from dust and can withstand being submerged in 3.3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. IP68 means the phones can be submerged in 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes.

Do not confuse water resistant to waterproof. What are the differences?

Water resistant means the smartphone can survive small splashes of water,sweat,rain etc.

Waterproof means the smartphone will survive even when dipped or submerged in water, if you drop it in the pool accidentally or your drink, the phone will be completely fine.

Would you buy a waterproof phone in the future? Let us know in the comments.
