IP is Ingres protection or “penetration protection class”. The first step after this abbreviation shows Gadget’s stability of penetration on internal objects (including dust and sand) on the second number – resistance to moisture. The maximum protection degree is IP69. At the same time, the IP68 means that the device is completely protected from dust and can be immersed in water for a short time and a small depth (usually up to 1 m).
According to the IP67 standard, protected smartphones can be dipped in water for a short time to a depth of approximately 0.5 m. Dust and moisture protection IP65 degrees indicate that Gadget can withstand weak water flows, but not designed for long -term contact with deep dipping or liquid.
The budget models of smartphones are generally protected by water and dust according to IP54 or IP53 standard. This means that the device can only get rid of small rain and are protected from small mechanical pollution.
However, for warranty situations, the damage to the smartphone is rare when contacting the liquid. Therefore, it is best to handle any mobile device carefully.
