IP Ratings in smartphones

A BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IP RATING IN SMARTPHONES

When we buy a new smartphone you might have seen the IP rating in it.

Let's know about IP rating simply in this blog.

What IP rating is?

The Ingress Protection (IP) rating tells about how well a device can resist against dust and water. It consists of two numbers:

  • First digit (0-6): It tells about dust protection.
  • Second digit(0-9K): It tells about water protection.

Common IP ratings seen in phones:

  • IP67 - Fully dustproof and can survive in 1m of water for 30 minutes.
  • IP68 - Fully dustproof and can survive in deep water (1.5m for 30 minutes).
  • IP69K - High-pressure water resistance (rare in smartphones).

Keep these in mind...

  • Water resistance will fade as time pass due to wear and damage.
  • No phone is truly waterproof.
  • Avoid the maximum limit of waterproof. 
Understanding IP rating can help you while choosing smartphones as per your needs.

Quantum Computing :   The Upcoming Superfast Technology    Think of a computer which can solve the problems in seconds that would take todays superfast computers a millions of years. That’s quantum computing, a latest technology that will bring a change in the world. Basic understanding about Quantum Computing    Normal computers use bits, which was functioning like a switch it can either be 0 or 1. Every function of the computer is based on this. Quantum computers use qubits which can exist in multiple states (0 or 1 or both) at a time. It allows computer to work smoothly and faster. It is based on the principles of quantum mechanics.  Why Quantum Computing?    It could solve problems which are impossible for today’s computers, such as:  • Security: makes online security stronger  • Improved Artificial Intelligence  • Discovering new medicines by simulation of molecules with more accuracy  • Optimizing logistics for airlin...
