Oops! I hope my phone is waterproof.
What's up guys?
Welcome to my channel.
As you guys might have noticed, today's video is actually waterproof test for your phone.
I have Samsung S8+.
This test is actually good for any phone or any device that says it is IP68 certified.
This video is gonna be divided in 3 parts.
The first part i'll talk about What is IP68?
Second part, the performance of the phone in/under water.
And the third part would be the hardware configuration that makes your phone waterproof or water-resistant.
So what is IP68?
IP68 is a certification that actually certifies your phone to be "water-resistant".
The number 6 in IP68 stands for Dust Protection which is of the highest quality whereas the
number 8 in IP68 stands for water protection which is actually not of the best quality
in our phones but it is actually water-resistant and do consider "water-resistance" is actually
different from "water-proof".
While waterproof means you can actually get your device under water as long as you want,
water-resistance comes with a condition and for our phones you can take the phone under
water upto 5ft of water and for maximum of 30 minutes.
If you are thinking, why this number?
We will talk about this number 5ft for 30 minutes in the third part of the video when
i will discuss about the hardware configuration of the phone.
And now we will see the performance of the phone under water. So i am actually playing
one video in the phone and i'm gonna dip the phone in the water and let's see how the phone
performs.
As you can see i am not able to actually do any operation on the phone, i am not able
to touch anything any button on the phone.
The touch screen is actually not responsive whereas the video is actually playing.
The phone is not responsive anymore.
And the moment i take my phone out of water, i can see the touch screen is actually working,
phone is responsive again.
I can actually operate my phone now.
The phone is responsive back again.
The moment you take your phone out of water, even though there are droplets on the screen
the phone is responsive.
However, i do get a notification saying that "the phone cannot perform charging right now
because it has detected some moisture in the phone".
However, the moment the water dries from your type c port, the USB charging port the phone
can be charged again.
But what about the camera?
Will the camera perform under water?
Would you be able to take pictures and videos under water?
Let's check it out.
Let's dive under the water.
As you guys just saw our phone was perfectly able to take photos and videos under the water
however you would have to make use of the buttons to take photos or videos that's because
our screen wasn't responsive.
The photo quality both for front screen camera as well as rear screen camera was perfect
however the audio may or may not be perfect for you.
Now it has been some time and my phone is dry let's try to connect the charger and see
what happens.
And the phone is charging back again.
And what would have happened if i tried to connect my charger when my phone was wet?
Would the charger work in that case?
Let's check it out.
Now as you can see the phone actually has detected the moisture in the charging port
and what if i connect the charger right now?
Will it work?
It says unplug charger, moisture has been detected and it's continuously vibrating.
So it's actually not responding to the charge.
So what you can do in that situation if you urgently need the charge?
You can actually make use of the wireless charging right.
So just put your phone on the wireless charging pad and it will actually charge.
What about the earphone?
Let's try out the earphones.
Will that work?
So i have connected the earphones let's try to play the song.
And i can hear the songs in my earphones although the phone is actually not responsive on the
screen, the songs are actually perfectly working fine.
What about bluetooth?
So i have actually connected my bluetooth with the speaker.
Let's try to play some song and dip the phone under the water.
Yes the songs are working fine.
Ok so now let's move onto the third section of the video which is the hardware section.
So what Samsung has done, they have actually put a rubber sealing all around the exterior
of your phone that means your sim tray, your power button, your USB type C port,
your headphone jack, so this is why the water doesn't enter your phone and you can stay
upto 5ft for 30 minutes.
Let's talk about the speaker.
The speaker actually has a screen that allows the air to go through but doesn't allow the
water to go through but if the pressure of water increases, it will actually force the
water to pass through the screen.
This is why they have actually specified a limit of 5ft for maximum of 30 minutes because
if you exceed any of the limit the pressure of water will exceed and the water will actually be
forced through the screen of the speaker into the motherboard or may be the rubber sealing
might also break in that case.
So this is why they have actually recommended you should stay like maximum of 1.5 meters
or roughly 5ft for a maximum of 30 minutes under water.
