2 years later, and this is just the information I needed. Thank you

[@valerafox7795]

True👌❤️

[@ObiKwabKenobi]

Same here 😅

[@RealTimePogo]

So I could technically go swimming with my earbuds with IP67 rating 30 min -1 meter. I’m not going to because i loose them in normal situations, I don’t need to add elements to my troubles. 😂

[@nrbgamingYT]

Nice. And well done with the honest-ish presentation style.

[@9ks]

Phones were waterproof loooong before Motorola.
I can't believe how often I'd forget to remove my Nokia 3310 from my clothes when throwing it in the laundry bin; still worked like a charm.

[@ajaydaniel3746]

is rain is a problem of ip68 waterproof

[@ryanjossanduque5509]

How about Military Grade line LG Phones

[@isnoozeulose]

Should the phone be dried off before charging? Can you explain how water resistant seals work with cable charging? Thank you!

[@JamieR]

More premium and modern phones will disable the ports for charging if there's something stuck in there or it has had water there. Does your phone give you a warning that there is debree in the port? It will go away when it should be safe to use again. More budget phones might not have this as it's device by device basis. I would at least wait minimum 24h and leave it in a warm room. Don't put it in rice as that will insulate the water and make the problem worse.

Anyone else remember the Motorola Droid Turbo 2? It was waterproof and had an unbreakable display. Seems like we have gone backwards in ruggedness.

[@carlosaramosss8166]

Hi! I've got a question. .. if you put an ipx68 phone in an ipx68 case, do ratings add up??

[@CatSharkGurl]

I wonder how safe it is for phone

[@scothu]

My phone of 3+ years was no longer water resistant within 1meter for 1 minute. I guess upgrading every 2 years is best

[@szewei85]

Haha interesting

[@blackdynamite9940]

Before the xperia z there where the Xperia Go, acro s and v back in 2012 wich where also ip certified.
It's not that hard to Google these things you nabs from phone arena

There is no such thing as water proof PERIOD, hard stop. There is always a failure point whether it is a physical point or a point in time. Any company advertising any device as being waterproof is false advertising period.
