Mobile phone manufacturers have been touting IP68 dust and water resistance technology for years, and the concept has been widely popularized. We evaluate the dust and water resistance performance of a mobile phone mainly based on its IPXX index. The first X stands for the dust resistance rating, which ranges from 0 to 6, with 6 being the highest rating;The second X stands for water resistance rating and ranges from 0 to 8, with 8 being the highest rating. The specific dustproof and waterproof standards are shown in the figure below.
The highest rating for dust and water resistance is IP68, which we all already know. However, you may wonder why IP69 is mentioned in the titleDon't worry, I'll explain it to you.
Today, Redmi's product manager posted a surprising news on Weibo: the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has successfully passed a series of rigorous tests and reached the new dust and water resistance standard - IP69 rating.
This Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is commendable for its resistance to dust and water resistance. It uses state-of-the-art protection technology, which has been carefully designed and rigorously tested to ensure that users can use their phones with confidence in any harsh environment.
IP69 dust and water resistance means that the phone has the highest level of protection against dust, which can effectively prevent fine particles from entering the device, thus ensuring the long-lasting and stable operation of the phone.
Meanwhile, when it comes to water resistance, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ delivers excellent performance. It is capable of being used underwater for a long time and is able to resist intrusion under a certain water pressure. Whether it's a rainy day out or a beach vacation, users can enjoy the convenience of their mobile phones without worry.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro+'s improvement in dust and water resistance standards is a reflection of the continuous innovation of the Redmi team.
Redmi's product manager announced on Weibo that the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has achieved an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, which is exciting news. IP69, IP69K to be exact, is a degree of protection in DIN 40050-9.
IP69K is an extension of the IP68 standard and represents a higher level of protection. It has undergone a series of rigorous tests and verifications to ensure that the equipment can maintain excellent dust and water resistance performance in the harsher environments.
The IP69K standard is very strong against dust and water.
It can effectively prevent fine particles and liquids from entering the equipment, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment under a variety of harsh conditions. IP69K-certified devices can be used under high-pressure water columns and are resistant to high temperatures and humidity.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is IP69K dust and water resistant, which means that users can use the phone outdoors and in harsh environments without worrying about the intrusion of dust and moisture. It provides users with a higher level of protection and gives users more peace of mind in their daily use.
This breakthrough once again proves the strength and determination of the Redmi team in technological innovation.
Of course, the concept of IP69 waterproofing is really exciting. However, we must be clear that even if a phone has an IP69 water resistance rating, it does not mean that it can be placed underwater without fear in actual use.
The IP69 waterproof rating is a standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to evaluate the waterproof capability of equipment. According to the standard's definition, IP69 waterproofing requires the device to be able to withstand high water pressure and high temperature currents under certain conditions.
However, even though the device is IP69 waterproof, the manufacturer does not unconditionally provide a warranty for damage caused by water ingress.
In fact, in the vast majority of cases, water ingress on the phone will void the warranty. Therefore, we still need to be cautious when using our mobile phones and avoid exposing them to water or washing them with high-pressure water.
Of course, in normal daily use, if the phone accidentally encounters rain or a slight splash, it will not affect it too much. The IP69 waterproof design does provide additional protection, making us feel more at ease when using our phones in some special environments.
Overall, the introduction of IP69 waterproof technology has brought greater water resistance to our phones. However, we still need to use and protect our phones wisely and avoid exposing them to excessive water pressure or prolonged water immersion.
The development of mobile phone waterproof technology is still advancing, and we can expect the emergence of more advanced protection technologies in the future to further improve the safety performance of mobile phones in underwater environments. Let's stay focused on technology and enjoy the convenience and fun it brings.
