In this roundup, we look at the absolute best-the Android phone you can't go wrong with. The habits of young people or to accentuate trand blindly lifestyle, make this a medoroang this clever device industry vying to do modifications to the device, with a distinctly vitur vitur-tercanggihnya. So it can be received over the counter Counterclockwise: water resistant phones

Water was never a friend to electronics, but there have always been phones with an adventurous spirit that have protection against the elements. The Benefone Esc! from 1999, famous for being the first cell phone with a built-in GPS receiver, was shock and water resistant. But that was before phones were given official IP codes, so we'll fast forward to 2008.

But first, a crash course on what the numbers mean. The first digit measures the protection against solid particles, the second is protection against liquids. We'll focus on the second digit.

IPX3	Spraying water
IPX4	Splashing of water
IPX5	Water jets
IPX7	Immersion, up to 1 m depth
IPX8	Immersion, 1 m or more depth

We'll be looking at weighted averages again (scaled by reader interest). This is because in the early days, something like the Sonim XP3 Enduro was one of the few water resistant options (IP67). This was a niche rugged handset and only a few people got one.

Things chug along slowly until relatively recently. In 2013, the Xperia Z wrote the rulebook for a Sony flagship and that included water resistance. The next year the Samsung Galaxy S5 also secured an IPX7 rating, though the S6 didn't follow suit (and that partially explains the dip in 2015). Then Apple joined the party

in 2016 with the iPhone 7.

Sony Xperia Z • Samsung Galaxy S5 • Apple iPhone 7

Samsung and particularly Apple are perhaps the strongest in their ability to influence consumer tastes. Sony definitely left its mark too. The first generation Pixel phones started with splash resistance and upgraded to proper water resistance in later models.

Some Motorolas are IP-rated as well, though most have a special coating on the internal components that makes them splash-proof (but doesn't stop water from getting in).

Not that it makes a ton of difference. No manufacturer actually recommends going for a swim with your phone, so the depth didn’t matter. The water resistance was there to guard against accidents (e.g. spilled water or dropping the phone in the can).

Water resistance requires rubber seals on all openings, which increases complexity and cost. There have been a couple of gimmicky hole-less phones, but the general trend in smartphone design is there. For example, recent LG and Huawei flagships replaced the earpiece with an acoustic display. Soon phones may be waterproof by default as they will be sealed completely shut - no ports, no buttons, no nothing.
