The real question is, how many people actually test that water-resistance claim on purpose? 🤔 I’m still too scared to try mine in the sink.

well I think they'll know when the phone accidentally falls into water, I'd to scared to try my own too

Jesutooni:
Almost every IP69 phone I know is a flagship

exactly, it's nice to know that it's not just flagships anymore

Dimmah:
UI 5.0 runs pretty clean

I was hearing people complain about it's performance

I knew we were being spied on, scary stuff omoooo

IheomaAkparanta:
Omo, there's plenty of options to choose from o. Go for the one your heart and budget chooses

I hope she or she does proper research before picking the phone

debopeola:
You can gift the person a Tecno spark 40 or the realme C75X or the Itel city 100, they are all within that range and a durable one in their specialties

nice recommendation

Glad to see live review, meaning we can trust the battery capacity

Kim4Christ:
One thing I still love about this phone is that a full charge can last you for three days... That's crazy

wow, like 3 days with constant use?

Doppy13:
With case, it didn't even survive anything.
It feels from a 2 storey building, when I picked it up, the screen was blank

e reach to blank o, 2 storeys is quite the height 😂

Kim4Christ:
I could remember when my phone dropped on floor that is tiled, just from my pocket and screen shattered

it's so painful ehhn what's now the function of the casing?;let's not even talk about screen guards o

Value for my money then I'd also expect it to have key features that I want

bioluwatinfe:
For me it’s fast charging, large battery capacity and definitely high gaming performance

you read my mind

Mobyle:
The speaker can shake off 💦 seriously, they built it well

and for such an affordable price too

Exactly and water falls is the most common accident that can happen with your phone, good IP rating anytime anyday

Water damage smartphones. Most time we tend to pickup our calls with wet hands in a rush,sometime we mistakenly drop our phones inside water or splash water on it and some time we are caught up in the the rain. These are reasons why the IP69 waterproof rating smartphones are really amazing and loved by most people

author=IheomaAkparanta post=136331514]Water-resistant phones have become increasingly popular in recent years, and it's easy to see why. With the IP69 rating becoming a standard feature in many flagship and mid-range devices, phone manufacturers are prioritizing durability and water resistance. But what exactly does IP69 mean, and which phones are leading the charge?

Understanding IP Ratings

IP stands for Ingress Protection, a rating system that measures a device's resistance to solid particles (dust) and water. The rating consists of two numbers: the first digit represents dust protection, while the second digit represents water resistance. For instance, IP68-rated phones can withstand submersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, it's essential to note that IP ratings apply to freshwater in controlled lab conditions, and saltwater, chlorinated water, or high-pressure water can still damage devices.

Every brand in Nigeria right now is doing their best to incorporate water resistance into their devices. Phones like the Tecno Spark 40, realmeC75 & C75X, the Samsung S25, you name it. The least waterproof rating on any newly released phone in Nigeria now is the IP54 and the highest is the IP69. It's fun to see phone adverts including intentionally dropping phone in water, freezing phones, putting phones under running water and all sorts of weird water tests to prove how resistant to water these phones are. Like how did we get here?

Benefits of Water-Resistant Phones

Water-resistant phones offer several benefits, including:
- Increased Durability: With water resistance, phones can withstand accidental splashes, rain, or brief submersion in water.
- Peace of Mind: Water-resistant phones provide users with confidence in their device's ability to withstand unexpected water exposure.
- Enhanced Camera Capabilities: Water-resistant phones enable users to capture photos and videos in wet conditions or underwater.

The rise of water-resistant phones has revolutionized the mobile industry, offering users increased durability and peace of mind. With top brands like Apple, Samsung, realme, Tecno and other popular brands incorporating water resistance into their devices, it's clear that this feature is here to stay. Whether you're an avid photographer or an outdoor enthusiast, water-resistant phones are definitely worth considering.
So tell me would you be getting a water resistant device? Does the water resistant trend appeal to you?

Leilalee:
yeah I'd go for the C75 it's has better features

yeah I especially like the military grade protection

Unspeakablejj22:
It's better to get a smartphone that will serve you better and last longer than substandard ones that has low durability qualities

author=Shawn29 post=136328760]Of course you can

exactly that's why it's good to do research before buying

Jozilinn:
See that realme c75x I. Just need a selfie camera shot to. Determine if I would get it the mp is too low

from the reviews I've seen, the pictures are pretty decent tho

Guyss the water resistance is real, my mum's realme C61 which she got recently fell into water and it's still working well!!

So we're saying that water-resistant phones will never go bad no matter how many times it falls into water?

StellaGirlie:
If a phone is waterproof, why do brands still say ‘don’t intentionally submerge’? Marketing or real limitation?

broo why would you want to intentionally submerge your phone before 😭, they just trying to tell us that incase it accidentally falls into water you don't have to worry not to actually throw your phone in water nau

I'm glad you got something that can handle your needs perfectly!

Dimmah:
Has anyone tested the water resistance yet?

I'd not willing dip my phone into water to test any water resistance feature o except mistakenly 😂

Doppy13:
Your budget determines the type of device you get jsyk. You can't expect a device with low price with high performance

but budget phones these days are gradually meeting up to expectations, so I feel that you can get something good on a not so high scale

Tolalizzy:
Nothing can make me consider infinix phones again, I had a terrible experience when I used it, unfortunately the phone got stolen. I don’t know about realme phones cause I haven’t used one.
I might give it a try soon.

bro my last infinix made me weep, never ever again

I took this into account when I got the phone I'm using now, both are really important and should not be overlooked when getting a phone. I suffered so much with my previous 4gb RAM/64gb ROM

Rictus1:
Does any release realme have 5G network?

I don't think so

Nice thread, I learnt a lot

Tolalizzy:
realmeC75x here and there. A days can’t pass by without seeing videos and advert from the brand.
What’s the deal?

they have good marketing tbh, got me to buy one for my mum 😂

Rictus1:
Very wise decision to not over use while charging. This act alone reduces phone battery quality

True that's one bad habit I had to unlearn
