How do you know if your phone is really waterproof? !!

Water resistance is one of the competitive advantages that global phone companies have resorted to

During the recent period, to increase its market share, and strengthen it in front of its competitors in global markets,

 

All modern smartphones such as iPhone and Samsung leave the manufacturer with an IP mark attached to them, but many users of these phones do not know the meaning of this mark, as it means - the global protection mark - for the phone's ability to resist water and dust.

 

Attached to this mark are two numbers that indicate the extent of the water resistance of the phone. We provide you with a full explanation and clarification of these signs below.

How to read the IPXX code

The IP code consists of two numbers. The first number indicates a certain level of the device's resistance to dust (or interference by any solid object in the device) and the second number indicates a level of protection against liquids, and the higher the number, the better the level of protection.

 With regard to protection from liquids, it is not only evaluated on its resistance to water spontaneously, but rather the amount of the phone's ability to withstand water pressure.

The first number - the degree of resistance of the device to dust (or the interference of any solid object in the device)

Code	Signification
IP0X	There is no protection "so it can be represente in the code with an X"
IP1X	The phone is able to withstand any hard object such as 50 mm dust.
IP2X	The phone is able to withstand any solid object such as 12 mm dust
IP3X	The phone is able to withstand any hard object such as 2.5 mm dust
IP4X	The phone is able to withstand any hard object such as 1 mm dust.
IP5X	It means that the device is dust-proof, so there is no harm in the event that some dust gets inside it.
IP6X	The phone is completely dust-resistant, whatever its density. (Put him in the desert and he'll endure)

Number two - water resistance and water pressure

Code	Signification
IPX0	: X There is no protection "so it can be represented in the code with a sign"
IPX1	Vertical anti drip
IPX2	15-degree anti-droplet angle
IPX3	Anti-drip 60 degree angle
IPX4	Anti-drip from all directions
IPX5	Low water pressure
IPX6	Large anti-pressure surface water
IPX7	Water resistant to 1 meter for short periods of time
IPX8	Water-resistant to a greater depth and longer duration
