Huawei is trying to make a premium smartphone since its launch. Their new flagship was launched in March 2018 and is supposed to be a fantastic camera device. However, with unmatched camera features, customers want to know whether this device can do underwater photography. The device indeed comes with an official IP67 waterproof rating, but we will test that to its extreme. So today we will get to know about that in our Huawei P20 Pro waterproof test.
Before we continue with our Huawei P20 Pro waterproof test, let’s get to know about some of its specifications. The device comes with a beautiful 6.1-inch display with 1080 by 2240 pixels resolution. This roughly translates to 408 PPI pixel density. An octa-core processor powers Huawei P20 Pro with a clock speed of 1.8GHz. It is coupled with 6GB of RAM which is more than enough to run apps and heavy games. Talking about the camera department, it has got three different cameras at its rear end. They are capable of taking some awesome shots from the device. Now let’s do Huawei P20 Pro waterproof test.

Hi Rahul ! Thanks for this test. Do you think you could test the waterproof condition of the Huawei P20 ?
Thank you for doing these tests. it is very helpful.
I accidently went swimming for about 30 mins in a Leisure Pool (rapids) before I realised it was in my pocket. So it was submerged about 1 meter at times for all that time. When I realised I thought “game over” but the phone was absolutely fine and wasn’t affected at all thankfully!
