IP Rating Decoder
Understand the two digits in a phone's dust and water-resistance code. An IP rating is not a promise that a phone is waterproof.
Use two digits or X, for example IP68, IPX8 or IP6X.
How to read an IP rating
The first digit describes protection from solid objects and dust. The second describes protection from water. X means that digit was not tested or is not stated.
Frequently asked questions
Is an IP68 phone waterproof?
No. It is tested under controlled manufacturer conditions; follow the device limits and warranty terms.
What does X mean?
X means that part of the rating was not tested or is not available in the listed data.
Can I use my phone in seawater or a shower?
Do not assume so. Salt, soap, heat, steam and impact pressure can damage seals and electronics.
