What is the concept of IP53 and IP68 waterproof level? Which one has a higher waterproof level, IP67 or IP68?

Many big-name mobile phones now have a certain degree of waterproof function. There is an international "IP" (Ingress Protection) standard for waterproof function, which indicates the protection level of electronic equipment from foreign objects such as dust and water. IP68 is the highest level, so what are the waterproof levels of IP53 and IP68? Which level is higher, IP67 or IP68?

What are the concepts of IP53 and IP68 waterproof levels?

IP53 and IP68 are parameter indicators that often appear when high-end mobile phones are released, indicating the level of dust and water resistance.

IP- is the abbreviation of international protection. In Chinese, it means protection level.

The first byte is represented by a sequence of numbers from 0 to 6 or the letter X.

The second byte is a sequence of digits from 0 to 9 or the letter X.

The remaining two items are optional and can be ignored.

IP53 dust and water resistance level means that it is completely protected from foreign objects. Although it cannot completely prevent dust from entering, the amount of dust entering will not affect the normal use of the appliance. It is protected from rain or water falling at an angle of less than 60 degrees from the vertical without causing any damage.

IP68 dust and water resistance level means that it is completely protected from the intrusion of foreign objects and dust. It can be immersed in water at a depth of 2 meters for 30 minutes. It is the highest level of dust and water resistance.

Which waterproof level is higher, ip67 or ip68

The IP68 rating is the level of protection for the casing of electrical equipment against the intrusion of foreign objects, while IP67 means that it can completely prevent the entry of dust and can also be immersed in water for a short time under a certain pressure. The main difference between IP67 and IP68 is that the numbers after IPXX are different, but the preceding values ​​are the same, which means that the dustproof performance is the same, but the waterproof performance is different. IP67 is for short-term immersion in water, while IP68 can withstand long-term water ingress.

Can I swim with IP68 waterproof?

IP68 refers to the waterproof and dustproof level. The 6 in front refers to the dustproof level, and the 8 in the back refers to the waterproof level.

Currently, the waterproof levels are divided into three categories: daily waterproof, IP67 waterproof, and IP68 waterproof.

Daily waterproof means that it can be used on rainy days without fear of a little water vapor; IP67 is slightly stronger, and it can be placed underwater at a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes; IP68 is the highest waterproof level at present, and it is fine to be directly immersed in water for a long time. For example, MANN triple-proof mobile phone, the current 3S is IP 68 waterproof.

There is definitely no problem using it in the swimming pool, but whether you can take underwater photos depends on whether the phone supports wet hand touch and shortcut key photography. If it supports it, underwater photography is no problem.

IP68 waterproof and dustproof has become a standard feature of high-end flagship phones in recent years. For example, the flagships of Samsung, Apple, and Huawei all support this feature. Although OnePlus has never advertised that its mobile phones support IP68 waterproof and dustproof, in fact, the OnePlus 7 series supports a certain degree of daily waterproofing.

However, recently, Max J., a whistleblower, released a picture on Twitter, which seems to suggest that the upcoming OnePlus 8 series will support IP68 water and dust resistance. It is not clear whether the entire OnePlus 8 series will support it or only the OnePlus 8 Pro.
