Many users have misunderstood the waterproofing of mobile phones, thinking that their phones have IP67 and IP68 ratings to guarantee permanent waterproofing. In fact, the waterproof ability may gradually fade or become invalid with the use of time or maintenance and other reasons. Recently, a program appeared in the Google Play Store, allowing users to test the water resistance of Android phones without getting wet.
Ray W, the programmer who developed this Water Resistance Tester, explained that the program uses the barometer built into the Android phone to measure the water resistance. In the latest version, Water Resistance Tester will also first test whether the phone comes from a barometer to ensure that the test can be performed normally. After the user installs and opens the Water Resistance Tester, as long as the user presses the screen firmly with two fingers as instructed, the water resistance of the phone will be tested.
Some netizens tried to test the accuracy of the program. A Galaxy Note 20 Ultra that was tested by the Water Resistance Tester was tested after removing the SIM card slot. The program was immediately displayed as unqualified. Of course, the developer also “worn a helmet”, indicating that the program cannot be fully guaranteed to be correct and cannot replace the official test results.
