Is The Google Pixel 4 Waterproof?

Image
Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust.

It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest

Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras.

Is The Redmi Note 8 Pro Waterproof?

Xiaomi revealed today that the Redmi Note 8 Pro would be launching in India on October 16 . Just about every manufacturer has to cut corners with their budget smartphones to keep costs down. This results in budget phones not receiving any IP rating. If you're wondering whether the Redmi Note 8 Pro is waterproof, then here's everything you need to know. The Note 8 Pro does not have any official IP rating. Ingress Protection ratings are used to define how well-sealed and protected an electrical enclosure is from things such as water or dust. This does not mean that the Redmi Note 8 Pro would be damaged with minor contact with water. As we've seen with Xiaomi's other budget offerings such as the Redmi Note 7 and 7 Pro. The devices do have a splashproof body. While we are not suggesting exposing your brand new Redmi Note 8 to liquids, in case of an accidental spill the device should not suffer any water damage.
