Over the years, water resistance in phones has gone from a luxury reserved only for high-end phones to a standard feature expected of any mid-range gadget. There are countless devices with this or that level of protection against water, but let’s look at just a few of the most interesting ones that you can buy now. True, not all of them are officially sold in Russia, but it will not be difficult to find them and you will not need to order delivery from other countries.
It is better not to wet the phone, but protection will not be superfluous.
Best Water Resistant Phones
Samsung Galaxy S22 is the best Samsung phone
The Samsung Galaxy S22 arrived earlier this year and quickly became the best Android smartphone. It is balanced, fast and shoots well. I talked about this in a separate review on our website. He also had disadvantages, but it is precisely in terms of balance that it is difficult to find equals to him. And yes, it is water resistant.
The base S22 is even more interesting than other models in the series.
Unlike its more expensive counterparts in the S22 series, this phone has a battery life that sometimes falls short of a day. It also gets a little warm during gaming, but other than that it’s a premium smartphone. The beautiful frosted glass back panel looks and feels very luxurious. And in the hands of the gadget is more than comfortable.
In addition to being water resistant, you get a top-notch Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. The cameras are superior to many more expensive flagships, and the icing on the cake is that the Galaxy S22 is guaranteed to receive OS updates for four years.
OnePlus 9 Pro is the best OnePlus phone
The OnePlus 9 Pro is well-designed, like any other smartphone from the brand, but it has fewer cons than others. Especially now, when the price has fallen and it is no longer as inadequate as it was last year. OnePlus is not very willing to give its devices an IP marking, but in this case it is.
This phone is even better than the OnePlus 10 Pro in some ways.
The phone has a great display. It’s bright, colorful, and has a high refresh rate of 120Hz. OxygenOS is super fast, and it’s good that OnePlus has abandoned its plans to bundle Oppo’s ColorOS with its operating system.
The OnePlus 9 Pro also has one of the best cameras of any OnePlus. This became possible thanks to the beginning of cooperation with the pioneer in the field of cameras – Hasselblad. OnePlus 10 Pro shoots a little better, but not by much, which means last year’s device will still work.
Google Pixel 6 – Google phone with water protection
The Pixel 6 brings the best of Google software in the form of dynamic Android with Material You. The hardware is pretty good too. It also has IP68 water resistance. This means that during the tests, he withstood half an hour at a depth of one and a half meters. 8 GB of RAM, combined with Google’s proprietary Tensor processor, provides very high performance and exclusive features.
We will remember this design for a long time.
You also get stereo speakers, a 90Hz display, and, of course, one of the best cameras on any phone you can buy. Night Sight allows the Pixel 6 to take amazing photos even in near-total darkness, and in daylight, photos come out great.
Blackview BV4900 – rugged phone
If you’re looking for a rugged and reliable Android phone that you can take with you wherever you go and can handle anything, then the Blackview BV4900 is the one for you. It’s just a tank among phones. He has MIL-STD-810G certification (US Army Compliant) and water and dust resistant according to IP68 standard. This phone does not need a case. He is his own cover and it is difficult to break it even on purpose.
This phone is protected from a lot.
This gadget is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts or just those who often drop their phone. Also, it has a massive 5580 mAh battery, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, expandable up to 128 GB. You also get NFC, but you won’t get a fingerprint sensor.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 – water resistant clamshell
The foldable phone that most people have been waiting for is finally here! Best of all, it’s beautiful, durable, has cool features, and – oh yes – it’s water resistant! Many thought it was impossible for a foldable phone, but Samsung convinced us otherwise. Galaxy Z Flip 3 is completely protected even from immersion in water and all this in a compact package.
It’s hard to believe this phone is water resistant.
Samsung has been developing foldable devices for several years, but it seems that right now its engineers have succeeded. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 features stronger hinges and glass than previous versions and is the first Flip with IPX8 protection. It is better to keep it away from dust and sandbut he passed the test with honor.
Galaxy Z Flip 3 is not only more durable, but also has a larger and more comfortable external display than the previous generation. And it also has powerful Snapdragon 888 and good cameras. If you’re looking for convenience, portability, technology and water resistance in one package, this is it.
How much does a waterproof phone cost
If you’re sure your new phone needs to be water resistant, then most of the good Android phones available today are at least IP68 rated. You can even find devices that are not afraid of water, cheaper than 30,000 rubles. And this is taking into account the general increase in prices. A couple of years ago, this was more of an exception.
Everyone will choose the best secure phone for themselves, but for now I have given my priority list. Name the model you think deserves the title of the best water resistant phone in the comments or in our Telegram chat.
