Waterproof phones are waterproof??

Waterproof phones are waterproof??

So basically, I have work for fast cell repairs for a while

And I have seen a lot of water damaged phones and

They were marked as water resistance

So it's clear that no phone is guaranteed for waterproof.

Usually, these phones are supposed to work in water for like 35 to 40 minutes in one the meter of water some phones are good so they work around 1 hour properly in water

But if you read the caution carefully you will find out that

There is no guarantee that the phone will work properly

After the water exposure.

Water damage immediately lower the worth of your warranty even if your phone is supposed to be water-resistant

So there is a list of waterproof phones that I have seen personally that they have been still damaged by water

And there are more than maybe I have to forget the most common one are:

. iPhone 7 & iPhone 7+

. Samsung galaxy s5, s6, s6 active, s6 edge, s7 & s7 edge

And so on.

So some of these phones are supposed to be water-resistant only got lightly splashed still damaged by water I also heard by people and in fact, my friend went for swimming and used their phones to take underwater photos and videos. Then why do phones stop working and some of them continue?

So basically, it comes down with what condition a phone that you purchase might have been waterproof when you bought it. But general wear and tear will degrade the seals. a lot of these phones have those tiny little protectors to cover the power ports or slots to make sure that water doesn’t get into the phone. These tiny little protectors are easy to break and lose and top of that any crack or damage will cause the water to get into the phone and make your phone water damaged.

So whenever you dropped your phone and find a little crack or damage on the phone not on cover maybe it’s time to be careful before you put your phone on water and try to fix it with experts in fast cell repairs in Vancouver.
