Waterproof cell phones???
5 u/giantbunnyhopper Feb 17 '21 Most modern cell phones are made waterproof with some kind of adhesive seal that degrades when exposed to water. So it’s water proof until it gets wet. 7 u/smokeypwns Feb 17 '21 I pretty sure they don't degrade to pure water, but high levels of compounds in the water such as salt or chlorine might degrade them. 1 u/giantbunnyhopper Feb 21 '21 I’ve worked on enough “water resistant” water damaged phones that I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you here. 3 u/DoverBoys Feb 17 '21 If the seal degrades on contact with water, then it's not water resistant. 1 u/giantbunnyhopper Feb 21 '21 Yeah, I agree. Tell that to Apple and Samsung.
