Id rather have a good ip68 rated phone with shitty adapters than a shitty phone with native 3.5mm port and sdcard slot, but to each their own.

The removal of headphone jacks or sdcards have nothing to do with ip68 rating. It's to sell adapters and to make you pay a lot for extra storage

Oh man, FYI you can't get an IP68 rating with a headphone jack alone unless you manually cover the slot each time.

say that to my xperia with ip68 and a headphone jack, or my s9+ which had ip68 and a headphone jack, or my s7 that had ip68 and a headphone jack, or...

Ok, I'll say that to your xperia, s9+, and s7

Per manufacturer's website for xperia:

This device is water resistant and protected against dust. All ports and attached covers should be firmly closed. Do not put the device completely underwater or expose it to seawater, salt water, chlorinated water or liquids such as drinks. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate the limited warranty. The device has been tested under Ingress Protection rating IP65/68. Sony devices that are tested for their water-resistant abilities are placed gently inside a container filled with tap water and lowered to a depth of 1.5 meters. After 30 minutes in the container, the device is gently taken out and its functions and features are tested. Note this model has a capless USB port to connect and charge. The USB port needs to be completely dry before charging.

Per manufacturer's website for s9+:

Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP67 Rating, which tests submersion up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. Not shockproof.

Per manufacturer's website for s7:

Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP67 Rating, which tests submersion up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. Not shockproof.

xperia 5 iii (my device) official website: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/mobile-phones-tablets-mobile-phones/xperia-5-iii/specifications

s9+ official website: https://www.samsung.com/levant/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-s9-s9-plus-are-galaxy-s9-and-s9-plus-dust-and-water-resistant-ip68-rating/

s7 official website: https://www.samsung.com/levant/business/smartphones/galaxy-s/galaxy-s7-g930f-sm-g930fzdamid/

all rated for ip68, all with a headphone jack. every company lacks water damage warranty because of the nature of being unable to tell if you were using it within spec or not.

not the hill i would die on, also confused where the hell you even got those quotes?

Read the footnotes on those sites, you silly goose...

Do you want me to make a video that shows you where that is on the page?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

okay do youre just trolling

s7:

s9:

this page doesnt have a footnote, the information is where it should be

xperia:

it says in the text you pasted that the usb port is capless, that text is pasted from every other footnote they have to put legally, from a time that devices did have a water cap for ports

these companies wouldnt be allowed to say their device is ip68 rated if it needed a cap in the ports, so not only are you just making shit up youre also wrong anyway?? ill be blocking you now since you're obviously trolling. so keep posting nonsense i guess

.world users man

On the samsung phones, click to show the full specifications. Then go down to the dust resistant spec and hover over the question mark.
