It has finally been confirmed, the Google Pixels are resistant to water and dust. These characteristics were rumored when the first data of these new mobiles of the company arrived. Later in his presentation there was no reference to this feature, but finally Google has confirmed that The Google Pixel has this resistance to water and dust.
The Google Pixels are resistant to water and dust
Well it seems that in the end the rumors that came weeks ago, before the launch of the mobile phones, have been confirmed even when this feature was not referred to in the presentation event of the new mobiles. The water and dust resistance It is a feature that has become essential among high-end mobiles. The iPhone 7 joins that group of select phones in which there were already models from Sony, Lenovo (Moto), and HTC.
We couldn't expect less from Google Pixel. Now the search engine company has confirmed that The Google Pixel, both the standard model and the Google Pixel XL, are resistant to water and dust.
Resistant, although not much
Of course, it must be made clear that this resistance to water and dust is limited. Ok, yes, in all cases it is limited, but in this one more, because we are not talking about submersible mobiles, but only resistant ones. The certification that it has is IP53. The first figure of the certification refers to resistance to dust. In this case, it is a fairly good level, so the mobile can fall onto the sand of the beach, for example, without jeopardizing its operation. In the case of water, yes, it will be better not to submerge it in water. Level 3 water resistance makes it only resistant to splashing water. That is, no submerging it, no washing it with water, or putting it under a stream of water, but it will be able to fall rainwater, or even a glass of water, without endangering the smartphone. It is also very likely that with this level of resistance, it can fall into the water and survive if we recover it quickly.
It is something that we did not find in other mobiles for a long time, that died as soon as they fell into the water, and that at least gives us some more possibility. This smartphone has the same level of water resistance as others like Moto G4 or the HTC 10. By the way, HTC is the one who also manufactures these Google Pixels, so it doesn't seem casual.
