Waterproof has become a big selling point of modern smartphones. Many mobile phone brands claim that their products are IP68 waterproof. So, can IP68-rated waterproof mobile phones really be cleaned externally using regular water washing?Today, we're going to demystify this problem.
First of all, we need to make it clear that IP68 is an international standard that defines the degree of protection of sealed equipment. IP stands for Intruss Protection, and 68 is a two-digit number**. The first digit "6" means that the phone is completely dust-proof and there will be no dust entering. The second digit "8" indicates that the phone can work normally in a long and continuous immersion under water, and the water resistance is very good. However, there is a misconception here, IP68 does not mean that the phone can work well in any underwater environment, but that under specific conditions, the phone can be waterproof.
So, for a mobile phone with IP68 waterproofing, is it possible to use a regular water wash for external cleaning?The answer is yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The phone is waterproof
First of all, although an IP68-rated phone can work well in a long and continuous immersion under water, it does not mean that the phone can withstand the impact of a high-pressure water gun. Therefore, when cleaning your phone, you should try to avoid using a high-pressure water gun to avoid damaging the waterproof layer of your phone.
Secondly, although IP68 mobile phones can be waterproof, when cleaning mobile phones, it is still necessary to avoid letting the mobile phone come into contact with places where the water flow directly impacts, such as the interface and buttons of the mobile phone. Because these locations are the weak link of the phone's waterproof layer, if it is impacted by water flow for a long time, it may cause damage to the waterproof layer, which will affect the waterproof effect of the phone.
Finally, while IP68-rated phones can be waterproof, you still need to avoid using chemical-containing cleaners when cleaning your phone. Because these cleaners may damage the waterproof layer of the phone, which can affect the waterproof effect of the phone.
To sum up, although IP68-rated mobile phones can be waterproof, when cleaning mobile phones, you still need to be cautious to avoid using high-pressure water guns, avoid exposing mobile phones to places where water is directly impacted, and avoid using detergents containing chemical ingredients. Only in this way can the waterproof effect of the mobile phone be guaranteed and the damage caused by improper operation of the mobile phone can be avoided.
At present, there are many waterproof mobile phone brands on the market, including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and other well-known brands have launched waterproof mobile phones. According to market research, user feedback from waterproof mobile phones is generally good, and many users say that the waterproof function does bring great convenience to their lives. However, there are also some users who report that the waterproof effect of waterproof mobile phones is not as ideal as advertised, and there are some design and manufacturing problems. Therefore, when consumers buy waterproof mobile phones, they should carefully understand the performance and user evaluation of the product, and choose the right product for themselves.
In this era of waterproof mobile phone popularization, it is necessary for us to know the waterproof level of the mobile phone, use and clean the waterproof mobile phone correctly. Only in this way can we give full play to the advantages of waterproof mobile phones and avoid damage to mobile phones caused by improper operation.
