Is Vivo Z1 Pro a waterproof and dustproof device?
Well, looking upon the official website of Vivo, no waterproof ratings are shown for the device. Remember that Vivo Z1 Pro comes in three variants but all of them have the same hardware structure. So if one variant is waterproof, then other must be waterproof as well.
However, you will be disappointed to know that according to the official specs list, this device is not waterproof. But don’t lose hope, we will still conduct our Vivo Z1 Pro waterproof test, to know the truth.
What is an IP rating and why is it important?
An IP rating is an international standard which is used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of modern smartphones. These IP ratings are presented in the form of IP followed by two numbers.
A waterproof device contains special IP ratings. An IP rating is an international standard which is used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of modern smartphones. These IP ratings are presented in the form of IP followed by two numbers. IP68 rating is the best that a smartphone can hold. However, it is important to note that this IP testing is done against fresh water. So you might end with slightly different results against salt water or other liquids such as soft drinks.
Whether your device comes with an IP rating or not, you should always take care while using your smartphone device or tablet around water.
