An IP68 phone is built to withstand dust, water, and tough conditions without compromising on performance. Whether you work outdoors, on construction sites, or in industrial settings, these smartphones ensure uninterrupted communication and durability where other devices might fail.
Explore our selection of IP68-certified phones to find the perfect model for your working conditions.
IP68 phones are engineered to perform in the harshest conditions. With complete protection against dust and prolonged immersion in water, they offer unmatched durability for users who demand more from their devices. This guide will walk you through the key benefits, usage tips, and common questions to help you choose the right rugged phone.
Before using your IP68 phone in water or dust-prone environments, make sure all ports (SIM, charging, audio) are properly closed. While IP68 allows for submersion, it's always best to rinse the phone with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chemicals to avoid corrosion.
If you're deploying several IP68 phones across a team, consider configuring them with remote management tools or MDM systems. This ensures security and efficiency across your workforce, especially in mission-critical environments. Don’t forget to use rugged accessories like reinforced holsters or screen protectors for added protection.
What does IP68 mean?
IP68 means the device is completely dustproof (6) and can be submerged in water deeper than 1 meter for extended periods (8), typically 30 minutes or more depending on the manufacturer.
Are IP68 phones also drop-proof?
Not necessarily. For drop protection, check for MIL-STD-810 certifications. However, many IP68 phones are built with reinforced casings that provide solid impact resistance.
Can I use an IP68 phone for underwater photography?
Yes, but always check the brand’s specific guidelines. Not all models support camera use underwater, and touchscreen functionality may be limited when wet.
Is it safe to use an IP68 phone in the rain?
Absolutely. Rain, splashes, mud, and even short accidental drops in water won’t affect an IP68-certified device.
Do IP68 phones need special maintenance?
Just minimal care. Clean your device regularly with fresh water if exposed to salt or chemicals, and keep charging ports clean and sealed when not in use.
