S21 is laughing at the Mi 11 with no IP rating, only a small splash resistance.
Obviously the Mi 11 is not flagship quality.

At least this does show that Samsung’s IP68 rating is effective.

Too perfect conditions that are almost impossible to replicate/achieve in real life. Hence, different results.

I hope you do realize that it isn’t the IP certification that … moreIP X7 / X8 is rated for IP X0 to X4

X5 and X6 are separate tests.

IP X9 is rated for IP X0 to X4

K – increased pressure, temperature, duration

IEC 60529 was born out of bathrooms washrooms

ISO 20653 – where k is found, is road vehicles, but can be used elsewhere.

Look for ‘versatile’ and ‘restricted’

IP X6 is a 1 / 3 min test…. BUT manufacturer can ask for longer.

IP X8 can be tested and approved for any length of time form 30 min to days… months…

Lol, i really don’t care of this rating when i buy a phone, since the smartphone get released in the past i never take my phones in the shower, pool or something other crazynes ????

So effectively it won’t teleport magically indeed, but it will lessen or even totally break the water resistance, and if you had any build defect, which happen quite often, well, your phone is dead.
It doesn’t mean that it is fine to put the phone in water too, even distilled water for that matter, there are waterproof bags where we can put the phone in for those who want to take them underwater.

OK, Samsung is trying to be creative promoting their unsuccessful release. Two questions:
– Will USB ever work or the moisture detector will keep bugging you for the rest of your life?
– Will Samsung honor their IP rating in their warranty?

I mean, many drive without their seatbelt and aren’t dead, but does it mean their luck will last forever?

The speakers are weak spots and doesn’t need any cracks nor damages to cause issues.
The simple natural wear of the body and its joints by carrying in your pocket or because of temperature differences can be enough to allow enough to get in and damage or kill it, and unlike the myths about the pop up, this is actually a real thing that do happen.

Plus, washing your phone with soap and flowing water isn’t the most effective method and is more dangerous than anything for the phone, I’d hate to be your phone’s USB port…
Here is how it is done :

So dropping a phone in salt water does not mean it is done for. Salt doesn’t let the water magically teleport inside. It causes corrosion of exposed metal components.

So if you drop a water resistant device into salt water just rinse out the charging port (headphone jack if present) with fresh water and you’ll likely be fine. Still you should never intentionally immerse your phone in fresh or salt water– it’s resistance, not proofing.

I’m washing my phone (Galaxy S9+) since the release 3 years ago, and it didn’t got damaged by water yet. Sometimes I put it for some time in a bucket of water and soap too.

If there are no cracks in the front and back glass, then it is totally fine.
