I keep lamenting the fact that there aren’t enough waterproof phones around. Sure, there are quite a few that are splashproof, but that isn’t the same thing is it? As a feature, waterproofing seems mainly limited to premium flagships currently, with high-end smartphones from Samsung and Apple offering it. There are very few waterproof phones available in lower price segments. The Moto G 3rd-gen (review) comes to mind, a phone that was launched back in 2015 and carried IPX7 rating. In recent times, the iPhone SE 2020 (review) stands out as a relatively affordable waterproof smartphone. This is why I’m glad Samsung is bringing this feature to the masses with the Galaxy A52, its new mid-ranger priced at Rs 27k.
