Top 5 Waterproof Rugged Phones for Beach Days in This Summer
Smartphone is one of our cherished possessions that we carry with us every day. If you’re planning on spending some time on the beach or by the pool this summer, you probably have one thing considered: don’t let the phone near water. Precautions are quite necessary if you stick with a non-waterproof phone. But actually, there’s a type of phone in the market that can withstand water immersion, known as rugged phone. Do you have any idea?
The waterproof performance in the industry is measured on the IP (Ingress Protection) scale, which indicates its resistance to dust and water. The scale includes two digits: the first digit after IP is the rating the IEC assigned a unit for its resistance to solids, and the second digit indicates liquid ingress protection. The higher number, the more protection. For example, if a gadget has an IP67 rating, it means it’s totally dust-proof, and waterproof enough to be immersed up to a meter deep for half an hour. IP68 or IP69K is the highest rating – guaranteeing protection in water from close-range pressure and high temperatures up to 1.5m deep for 30 minutes. The phones to be introduced next are all IP68 & IP69K certified, from Blackview brand, the leading rugged phone manufacturers in China. And they are also MIL-STD-810G certified (the strict military standard in USA), withstanding drops, bumps, or shocks.
If you’ve ever bought a pouch or put much care to protect your smartphone, you’ll immediately be able to see the appeal of a rugged phone with some armour built-in to its core design. Blackview rugged phones have gained popularity globally due to outstanding waterproofness and toughness in harsh environments, as well as friendly price. Let’s check top 5 best deals you can get now from Blackview.
