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?

Tecno and the likes have been producing water proof phones since

Spark 40 series is of them!
Amazing device.

Since when?

Fill me in Abeg!

Waterproof phones from IP66 upwards?

i agree with this

yes, we don’t applaud them enough. Dem Dey try

I agree with this review.

Unfortunately, Samsung and iPhone users will not relate with this. The truth is that TECNO, Infinix, Realme and some other brands that are really innovative are taking over the market. These other two are just surviving based on brand name. Soon, they'll be fazed out as they have nothing new and interesting to keep their fan base.

IP64 and above is the new trend in Phones and I thank God that TECNO, REALME, INFINIX, even ITEL are doing it now.

The Spark 40 series and Camon 40 series actually impressed me a lot. I've also heard about the C series of Realme. Really impressive

Kudos to them, especially TECNO who has been here longest and yet hasn't given up but always improved upon what they had

One would think an iPhone is water resistant😂Take am play first😂

realme isn't playing at all

Dust and water resistance phone are many now
But that realme is no joke

Almost all phones has the water and dust resistant feature with different ip ratings but there's no doubt that realme has the lead in that with its ip69 ratings
