My Galaxy S20 Ultra is beyond recoverable, even it was only in water for less than 3minutes, and just in 4ft. Would you still believe that this flagship phone complies with IP68 rating?
Further, please refer to below about water and dust resistance tips.
If you are headed to the beach or waterpark, you can take comfort knowing your phone can keep up with you if it has a high IP rating. Just make sure you don't drop the phone in the ocean or while you're going down a waterslide.
Keep these tips in mind when you're facing the elements:
Whenever your phone gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not expose the phone to salt water or ionized water. If your phone is exposed to salt water, wash the phone with fresh water, and then dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise, when it dries, salt may accumulate and block the primary microphone, earpiece, or external speaker.
When drying off your phone, be sure to pat the earpiece (top front of the phone), primary microphone (bottom of phone), external speaker (bottom of phone), and the power/accessory (USB) interface connector with a clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as possible.
Do not try making a call immediately after your phone has gotten wet. The microphone may have water in it, which may lower the volume of your voice on the other line. Wipe the phone with a clean, soft cloth, and then allow the phone to air-dry before making a call.
Physical damage to your phone, such as chips and cracks, can significantly reduce its ability to resist dust and water.
Facts: 1. My phone has no history of drops, so I'm 100% there will be no cracks 2. Phone was immediately rescued in a 4ft swimming pool in less than 5mins. As far as I know, it can withstand 1.5m deep upto 30 MINUTES! 3. I know precautions, never turn it on while it is wet. But this phone just keeps overheating, and shuts off on its own and never boot again even 3 days had past.
Therefore, your feature does not comply and do not deserve IP68 rating, IT IS A DEFECT!!!
