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

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. 😂

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.

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

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

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

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

How about Military Grade line LG Phones

Hey #PhoneArena, can you do a video for in depth comparison of OPPO RENO5 PRO 5G vs SAMSUNG GALAXY A52 5G ❤💞🤍

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.

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