Is the Galaxy S23 waterproof?
It should be noted that almost no device is waterproof per se. Strictly speaking, most smartphones on the market today are only water-resistant to a certain extent, the Galaxy S23 lineup being no different.
In short, under normal circumstances, exposure to most liquids is not a problem. However, bear in mind that seawater should still be avoided and prolonged submersion is never ideal.
What does IP68 mean?
The ingress protection rating (i.e. for what the letters “IP” stand for) measures the extent to which the internals of a device are protected from external elements such as liquids and small particles.
The first number (0-6) of the IP rating reflects the level of protection from small particles, while the second (0-9) — from liquids. In the case of the Galaxy S23, the number 6 means that the device is effectively dust-tight, with no ingress of dust being possible. The number 8, on the other hand, indicates that the smartphone can survive full immersion, under the aforementioned conditions.
