How to choose some best waterproof mobile phones?
A lot of people are looking for a waterproof phone, but most of them are vaguely unaware of how to choose the most suitable one, depending on their own interest and budget. So, what should we look for in a waterproof mobile phone? First and foremost, the IP rating is a guarantee when it comes to the water-resistance ability of a waterproof phone, so there's a lot to consider.
Then here's our suggestion of the list of best waterproof mobile phones in July 2019:
Samsung Galaxy S10 – $799
The curved- screen Galaxy S10 lands itself an IP68 waterproof certification – which is the highest level of waterproof ability by now, joining the same water-resistance rating as the Google Pixel 3 XL and iPhone XS. You have it covered in up to 5 feet of stable water for up to half an hour, so there’s no wondering why it appears in this list.
Talking about the specs, the Samsung phone runs on Android 9 Pie and Samsung One UI with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor and 6GB of RAM. On the surface of the 5.8-inch screen with Dynamic AMOLED, there’re 16MP and 12MP cameras on the rear, and a 10MP front camera.
Overall: A brilliant flagship from Samsung.
Google Pixel 3 XL – $899
The Google Pixel 3 XL holds a waterproof IP68 certification, which means it can live within 30 minutes in water with up to 6.5 feet of depth. You can take a light swim and the phone will still survive, but it’s absolutely not recommended for you to swim all day.
As for specs, the Pixel 3 XL comes with a 6.3-inch display, a 12.2MP rear camera, and an 8MP front camera for taking selfies. The phone runs on Android 9.0 Pie along with Google Interface. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor will ensure everything working well on the phone. The Pixel 3 XL packs 4GB of RAM.
Overall: A top-quality experience for Android lovers. Google Pixel 3 XL is rated as the best waterproof phone running on Android at present.
Apple iPhone XS – $1,000
Like the Google Pixel 3 XL, the iPhone XS is also certified IP68. In term of waterproof ability, the phone is one step ahead of the iPhone X, which only supports IP67 certification. The iPhone XS can survive in water for 30 minutes in up to 6.5 feet.
Of course, the iPhone XS is definitely not an affordable smartphone, but there’re many good reasons that come for the cost. Apart from the ability to live in such a water condition, it boasts an incredible design along with a fascinating seamless interface when we take a very first glance. Notably, the iPhone XS takes over the Face ID technology from the initiate iPhone X for helping users unlock it without any taps on the phone.
The iPhone XS has supported iOS 12 since its launch, but we’re all expecting to experience the out-of-the-box iOS 13. It is powered by an A12 Bionic chipset Neural Engine and 4G of RAM under the hood. The screen goes about with a 5.8-inch display with Super Retina AMOLED technology. To round out, the phone has a 12MP dual-camera setup on the rear and 7MP TrueDepth on the front.
Overall: Apple's phone is not only great but also pretty expensive.
Huawei Mate 20 Pro – $1,215
The crazily expensive Huawei Mate 20 Pro will withstand submersion in up to 6.5 feet of stable water for about 30 minutes thanks to the IP68 certification, so don’t worry if you accidentally drop it into the water in a matter of minutes.
The crazy price comes along with crazy specs, too. It’s extremely impressive when coming to its camera setup: there’re a 40MP lens, a 20MP lens, and an 8MP one on the rear – and an overwhelming 24MP camera on the front. At such price, it’s understandable when having 6GB of RAM and a Kirin 980 processor underneath. A 6.4-inch AMOLED display will make you enjoy all the experiences on the phone. Of course, it supports an in-display fingerprint sensor.
Overall: Crazy specs, crazy expensive, but can be difficult to get hold of.
Conclusion
An IP68-certified waterproof phone actually comes in handy for everyone. Apart from those listed above, there're also a lot of other waterproof mobile phones with a wide range of ability and price, including iPhone XR ($750), iPhone XS Max ($1,099), Motorola Moto X4 ($282) and so on.
