Smartphones often got into water damage because it is our best friend. Smartphones accompany us when we go to the toilet, shower, even into the pool. These cause an increase in water damage. Most of us does not know how to differentiate the difference between water-resistant and waterproof phone. We just think they are the same and go straight to the water without a second thought. Check out the difference between them and it will prevent you from shortening your best friends’ lives.
What types of phones are waterproof?
While most modern smartphones are water-resistant, which means they can withstand some water contact, none of the prominent phones on the market today are completely waterproof. This means your phone will also get water damage. Choose one of the following alternatives for waterproof phones that can endure scuba diving and lengthy-time underwater:
- Purchase a waterproof smartphone, such as the Caterpillar Cat S61.
- Purchase a waterproof case from a manufacturer like Lifeproof.
The Galaxy S9 is IP68 certified, whereas the iPhone X is IP67 certified. However, neither of these phones is certified to withstand pressured water, which implies that even swimming vigorously with a phone in your hand might result in harm.
To summarise, water resistance does not imply waterproofness. Consider water resistance to be an additional layer of safety for your phone if you are caught in a downpour, fall in a pool, or have another water-related disaster.
How can I prevent water damage?
Follow these phone-safety recommendations if you want your water-resistant phone to endure for years to come:
Avoid exposing your phone to seawater or chemically treated water. Engineers conduct water resistance tests in a lab using steady, pure water.
If your phone becomes wet, make sure it is totally dry before charging.
Avoid hitting any buttons while the phone is submerged, since this may allow water to enter.
Water resistance solely pertains to water exposure (as in, your smartphone may not be milk-, soda-, or beer-resistant).
Even though the manufacturer advertises their phones as water-resistant, water-related damage may not be covered by the warranty. Therefore, keep your phone as dry as possible.
