Holi 2018: Are festivals not the best time to buy something of your choice? So, here is Holi. The festival of Holi has just begun with the first day marking the eventful Holika Dahan while the second day will begin with people throwing balloons filled with coloured water and aiming their water guns at almost everyone, even if they don’t like getting drenched in coloured water. Well, much like these people, your smartphones are also reluctant to Holi colours and may begin malfunctioning should you allow even a single drop of water get inside the smartphones. However, if you are an owner of one of the smartphones that are ‘waterproof’, you can continue playing Holi without anxiously fretting about your phone.
The smartphones that won’t ruin your festive mood if you own them come with IP67 and IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. Usually, the high-end smartphones come with IP67 and IP68 rating. IP stands for Ingress Protection while the numbers behind it mean that level of resistance offered against water and dust. Here is the list of the device that you may consider:
iPhone X – The premium iPhone X comes with the resistance offered against the ingress of water drops and dust particles. If you are an owner of iPhone X, you don’t need to worry about keeping your phone at home or covered with an otherwise water-resistance cover that would still render useless as there are cutouts for buttons and the camera bump.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 – The Samsung Galaxy Note is the latest addition to the Samsung Note series. The smartphone offers protection against water splashes along with dust resistance, making it one of the perfect devices that you can freely use while someone throws a colour-filled balloon.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ – While Samsung launched its newer Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ smartphones at the MWC 2018, its year-old Galaxy S8 still is one of the best Android devices that you can get for yourself today. Both the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones come with the IP68 rating for water resistance.
Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL – The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have been witnessing an unfortunate time since their launch as several users have reported uncountable bugs and malfunctions in the devices. While Google will eventually fix the bugs, if any, on the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, the water and dust resistance on the phones make them the perfect choice to be taken outside.
LG G6 – LG is yet to announce its next flagship that has so far been said to be named something else but G7. LG G6 that was launched last year did quite attract people but the water and dust resistance offered by LG G6 puts it in line with the water-resistant smartphones.
