Rating of the best IP68 rugged and shockproof smartphones for 2022

We all know the terrible feeling when a gadget falls screen-down on concrete, that brief moment between dropping and picking up the phone when you pray the screen won't crack. The fragile nature of glass and expensive smartphones is the bane of today's technology-dependent existence, although current devices are slightly more resistant to damage, they are still vulnerable. Salvation - smartphones with IP68.

More and more devices are being issued with the IP (Ingress Protection) marking, a two-digit code that signals the ability to withstand the external environment. Have you ever looked at a new phone wondering what IP68 stands for? How does this affect the potential client or user? Is it different from the IP67 rating?

Deciphering the IP protection classes

The first number is protection against solid particles, the second is water resistance:

	1st digit	2nd digit
0	No protection	No protection
1	From the penetration of solid objects larger than 50 mm; parts of the human body such as hands, feet, etc. or other foreign objects with a size of at least 50 mm.	From falling drops falling vertically downwards.
2	From the penetration of solid particles larger than 12 mm; fingers or other objects with a length of not more than 80 mm, or hard objects.	From falling drops, falling objects from above at an angle to the vertical no more than 15 ° (equipment in normal position).
3	From the penetration of solid objects larger than 2.5 mm; tools, wire or other objects with a diameter of at least 2.5 mm.	From droplets or jets, objects falling from above at an angle of no more than 60° to the vertical (equipment in normal position).
4	From the penetration of solid objects larger than 1 mm; tools, wire or other objects with a diameter of at least 1 mm.	Against drops or splashes from any angle.
5	Partial protection against dust penetration. Complete protection against all kinds of accidental entry. Perhaps only the ingress of dust in an amount that does not disrupt the operation of the device.	From water jets falling at any angle.
6	Complete protection against ingress of dust and accidental intrusion.	From water jets from all types of pressure at any angle.
7		From water ingress during temporary immersion in water. Water does not cause damage to the equipment at a certain depth and time of immersion.
8		From the ingress of water with constant immersion in water. Water does not cause damage to equipment under given conditions and unlimited immersion time.

As can be seen from the table, the number is determined by the manufacturer. This means that it will vary from one phone to another. For example, according to manufacturer Samsung, the Galaxy S9 can withstand being submerged up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. That's why it gets IP68 instead of IP67.

A few things to keep in mind

Below we list some of the subtleties of the rating:

• The water resistance test is often carried out in fresh water, salty environments are more aggressive.
• Taking a shower can ruin your phone. The pressure that comes from the jets can damage the device.
• For some devices, you need to close the ports (headphones, charging) so that water does not seep through.
• Temperature also affects storage. Saunas, steam baths and hot tubs can be harmful. Do not press any buttons (volume, power, camera).

1. Apple iPhone 11

The first place in the ranking of high-quality smartphones is deservedly occupied by the popular iPhone 11 model, which stands out for its fast system operation. This performance is provided by the low resolution of the display.

The gadget is equipped with two 12 megapixel lenses, with a regular and wide-angle lens capable of recording at 4k/60fps. In terms of quality of night photography, Apple competes with the Google Pixel and Huawei Mate series of smartphones. The front camera is not inferior in quality to the main one.

Photos taken in daylight look very natural, and the iPhone manages to maintain dynamic range (evens out the saturation of colors in the brightest and darkest areas of an image) in almost any light.

Videos recorded on the phone look like they were shot with professional equipment. Apple's Cinematic Stabilization mode has been unsurpassed since the days of the iPhone 6s and continues to improve.

The main drawback of the 11-inch HD LCD is the lack of resolution. If you bring the screen close to your eyes, you can see individual pixels. Another weak point of the gadget is the design, some elements of the case finish look rather controversial and awkward.

The iPhone 11 is an expensive device, but no matter how much it costs, it definitely deserves the place it occupies on the list.

Conclusion

Smartphones are amazingly fragile and rarely well suited to the rigors of everyday life. A spilled glass of water can break your processor, a fall on the sidewalk can ruin your screen, and dust can clog ports.

It is profitable to buy a device marked IP68, where a durable case will provide protection, and you will keep a good mood and smile.
