Waterproof phones
The waterproof smartphone offers enhanced water protection. Our engineers have applied their expertise to the design of water-, liquid- and dust-resistant models to ensure component protection in the event of clumsiness, water splashes, water jets or immersion in water. This level of protection is measured by an international standard that identifies the risks to which the phone is protected.
Waterproofing is a very important criterion, depending on your professional activity, your lifestyle or your hobbies. That's why we're committed to providing you with waterproof and dustproof smartphones. Find out how to choose your waterproof phone.
Why choose a waterproof phone?
Waterproof smartphones are protected so that their components are not damaged when the device comes into contact with water, except when immersed too deeply and for too long, or by dust. The deeper the immersion, the higher the de facto water pressure, and the greater the risk of damage to the phone's components. So, depending on the level of waterproofing, your cell phone will be protected from minor or major incidents.
With a waterproof mobile, you can rest easy in case you drop your smartphone in the toilet, bath, puddle... or if it gets caught in water, such as rain or a jet.
This protection is particularly practical in everyday use for clumsy people who often drop their phone, for those who work in particularly damp environments, or for those who want to use their smartphone to take photos or videos underwater.
Waterproofing is a highly appreciated feature for sportsmen and women who take part in outdoor activities on sand, earth, snow or water, such as mountain biking or skiing. During physical activity in a natural environment, it can happen that you get caught out in the elements or drop your smartphone... in the wrong place.
Professionals working in sensitive environments, such as construction or industry, will also benefit froman optimal level of waterproofing to protect their equipment on a daily basis.
If you're going to be traveling regularly, you'll need to make sure you opt for a rugged, waterproof phone that's sufficiently resistant to both shocks and contact with water and dust.
Features of a waterproof smartphone
IP rating
A cell phone's level of resistance to solids and liquids is certified by the IP (Protection Index) standard created by the International Electrotechnical Commission. It is expressed in two numbers, respectively indicating the level of protection against dust (on a scale from 0 to 6) and the level of resistance to water (on a scale from 0 to 9). A phone can be considered "waterproof" when certified to IP67 or IP68.
Index | Dust protection | Water protection |
---|---|---|
0 | No protection. | No protection. |
1 | Protected against solids larger than 50 mm. | Protected against vertical drops of water. |
2 | Protected against solids larger than 12.5 mm. | Protected against dripping water up to 15° from the vertical. |
3 | Protected against solids larger than 2.5 mm. | Protected against rainwater up to 60° from vertical. |
4 | Protected against solids larger than 1 mm. | Protected against splashing water from all directions. |
5 | Protected against dust and other microscopic residues. | Protected against water jets from all directions. |
6 | Fully protected against dust. | Protected against strong water jets from all directions. |
7 | Protected against the effects of temporary immersion down to 1 m for 30 min. | |
8 | Protected against the effects of prolonged immersion at depths of over 1 m. | |
9 | Protection against high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning from multiple directions. |
You also need to determine all the other features that are important to you, and that are useful in your day-to-day life.

The design of waterproof phones
Not all waterproof smartphones are hermetically sealed against the same liquids and solids. While most provide protection against water, our engineers have chosen components and technologies thatprovide optimum sealing against a wide range of liquids: fresh water, salt water, paint, oil, snow, chlorinated water, hydroalcoholic gel... but also dust, sand and other microscopic residues.
As a result, our waterproof cell phones are designed using high-performance materials:
- Polymer membranes (Gore-Tex technology) around audio elements: microphone, earpiece, loudspeaker
- Polymer seal between the front and back of the phone
- Elastomer watertight caps around connector elements
Waterproof smartphones
The best waterproof smartphones stand out for their high resistance to contact with solids, liquids or immersion. They featurea robust casing and waterproof seals that protect the smartphone's components from damage caused by water or dust infiltration.
To choose the right model for your use, you need to define the level of risk you want to be protected against. Accordingly, check the protection rating of the corresponding phone.
