Rating of the best rugged and shockproof IP68 smartphones for 2024

We all know the awful feeling when a gadget falls on concrete with the screen down, that short moment between falling and picking up the phone, when you pray that the screen does not crack. The fragile nature of glass and expensive smartphones is the bane of modern technology-dependent existence, although today's devices are slightly more resistant to damage, they are still vulnerable. The salvation is smartphones with IP68.

More and more devices are issued with IP (Ingress Protection) marking, this is a two-digit code that signals the ability to withstand the external environment. Have you ever looked at a new phone wondering what IP68 means? How does this affect a potential customer or user? Does it differ from the IP67 rating?

Decoding of IP protection classes

The first number is protection against particulate matter, the second is water resistance:

	1st digit	2nd digit
0	No protection	No protection
1	From penetration of solid objects larger than 50 mm; parts of the human body such as hands, feet, etc. or other foreign objects not less than 50 mm in size.	From falling drops falling vertically downward.
2	From the penetration of solid particles larger than 12 mm; fingers or other objects no longer than 80 mm, or hard objects.	From drops, falling objects from above at an angle to the vertical no more than 15 ° (equipment in normal position).
3	From penetration of solid objects larger than 2.5 mm; tools, wire or other items with a diameter of at least 2.5 mm.	From drops or jets, objects falling from above at an angle to the vertical no more than 60 ° (equipment in normal position).
4	From penetration of solid objects larger than 1 mm; tools, wire or other items with a diameter of at least 1 mm.	Protect from dripping or splashing from any angle.
5	Partial protection against dust ingress. Complete protection against all types of accidental penetration. Perhaps only the ingress of dust in an amount that does not disrupt the operation of the device.	From water jets falling from any angle.
6	Complete protection against dust and accidental penetration.	From water jets from all types of pressure at any angle.
7		From water ingress when temporarily immersed in water. Water will not damage equipment at a certain depth and dive time.
8		From water penetration by constant immersion in water. Water will not damage equipment under specified conditions and unlimited immersion time.

As you can see from the table, the number is determined by the manufacturer. This means that it will vary from one phone to the next. For example, according to the manufacturer Samsung, the GalaxyS9 can withstand immersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. This is why it gets IP68 instead of IP67.

A few things to keep in mind

Below are some subtleties of the rating:

• The water resistance test is often done in fresh water; salty environments are more aggressive.
• Showering can ruin your phone. The pressure from the jets can damage the device.
• On some devices, you need to close the ports (headphones, charging) so that water does not leak.
• Temperature also affects preservation. Saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs can be harmful. Do not press buttons (volume, power, camera).

Rating of the best rugged and shockproof IP68 smartphones for 2024

This list is based on consumer reviews of IP68 rated devices. A description of waterproof devices is given, with their advantages and disadvantages. The review will tell you how to choose the right phone and not to lose money.

5.Samsung Galaxy S7 Active

The Galaxy S7 Active is not as attractive as the standard S7, but it is equipped on par with the best manufacturers. The device is designed for people who need a nimble, comfortable, durable premium gadget that can withstand drops and submersion. Usually, shock-resistant phones are made of glass and metal, and many will be skeptical about the plastic that the S7 Active's case is made of, but they are wrong.

The front is smooth and looks like a regular S7 except for the three buttons on the front.Since you can use the Active underwater or with wet hands, the touch keys for menu, home and back are mechanical. The device has an IP68 water resistance rating and boasts a military grade rating (MIL-STD-810G). Fans of outdoor activities, hunters, fishermen, tourists will be able to appreciate the aesthetics and durability of the gadget.

The filling of the S7 is impressive, and when the question arises which company is better to buy a smartphone, the gaze involuntarily stops at Samsung. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM. The small size of the built-in storage is transformed using microSD into a tangible 200 GB, which can hardly be filled with photos of cats and music.

The 5.1-inch display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels is worth mentioning. It's as bright as any Samsung screen, great for watching videos in a tent after dark, but creates a lot of glare when you climb a mountain in the sun.

4. Unihertz Atom

If you are expecting a large screen, sleek bezels, and a fashionable glass case from your phone, then Atom is not about that. In return for the design, the manufacturer promises fast operation of the gadget, durability, and the IP68 standard guarantees water resistance, which is ideal for outdoor activities.

The name corresponds to the size of a smartphone, Atom is tiny and light, even a small child can comfortably use the device.

The 2.4-inch display is surrounded by a massive bezel. On the front there is a fingerprint scanner and two mechanical buttons. Volume key on the left along with the sim card tray, on the right is power, PTT.

The back panel is textured in a diamond shape for easy grip. There is a 16MP lens with a flash, a 5MP selfie camera, the only speaker that can hardly be recommended for listening to music, due to the bad sound from the bottom of the gadget. Better to pair the Atom with a pair of wireless earbuds or Bluetooth speaker.

Now for the bad news, considering that the Atom is equipped with a 2.4-inch LCD screen, its resolution is 432 x 240 pixels, with an aspect ratio of 16: 9. Like any IP68 phone, there is Gorilla Glass protection, which ensures the safety of the display.

The device has an indisputable advantage - excellent performance.The hardware consists of an eight-core ARM Cortex-A53 chipset with 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage will be enough for most people. Biometric device unlocking is provided. Despite support for two sims, there is no microSD card slot, which is a bit disappointing.

Great difficulty will arise when typing on a 2.4-inch screen. Using Gboard's features makes things easier, but not much. Taking pictures on the gadget will give you a pleasant experience, since the pictures are clear and of decent quality.

The 2000mAh battery may seem small, but keeping in mind the size of the device, it lasts for a couple of days.

If you are choosing which model to buy, the Atom will not be your main device. This is a smartphone that you can take with you on a weekend out of town so as not to worry about damaging your expensive gadget. It is durable, the build quality is excellent, and its dimensions and weight, only 108g, do not require much space on the hike.

1. Apple iPhone 11

The first place in the ranking of high-quality smartphones is deservedly occupied by the popular iPhone 11 model, which stands out for its fast system operation. This performance is provided by a low display resolution.

The gadget is equipped with two 12 megapixel lenses, with a regular and a wide-angle lens, capable of recording at 4k / 60fps. Apple rivals the Google Pixel and Huawei Mate series of smartphones in quality of night photography. The front camera is not inferior in quality to the main one.

Photos taken in daylight look very natural, and the iPhone manages to maintain dynamic range (equalization of color saturation in the brightest and darkest areas of the image) in almost any light.

Videos recorded on your phone look like they were shot with professional equipment. Apple's Cinematic Stabilization Mode has remained unrivaled since the iPhone 6s and continues to improve.

The main flaw of the 11-inch HD LCD is its lack of resolution. If you bring the screen close to your eyes, you can see individual pixels. Another weak point of the gadget is the design, some elements of the body finish look quite controversial and awkward.

The iPhone 11 is an expensive device, but no matter how much it costs, it definitely deserves its place on the list.

Output

Smartphones are surprisingly fragile and rarely do well in the harsh environments of everyday life. A spilled glass of water can break the processor, a drop on the sidewalk can ruin the screen, and dust can clog ports.

It is profitable to buy a device with IP68 marking, where a durable case will provide protection, and you will keep a good mood and smile.
