00:00What are the two things a normal phone user is afraid of?
00:23One is phone theft and the other is phone water damage.
00:28In India, around 27% of smartphones are subject to liquid damage every year.
00:35Have you ever put your phone in a rice container after it fell into the water?
00:39Then do watch this video till the end.
00:41What important information does the phone's IP rating give you related to damage?
00:47You should definitely watch it before buying a phone.
00:50Welcome to Tech Know by Nazaria.
00:53I am Ashish Atrey and today we are going to talk about the biggest concern of Indian smartphone owners.
01:00What should be done if the phone is damaged by water?
01:04Sometimes because of rain, sometimes because of fun, sometimes because of M.A.E.
01:12Your phone is always in contact with water or dust.
01:15Every phone has its own IP rating.
01:18Which tells you how secure your phone is from dust and water.
01:22IP means Ingress Protection.
01:25And this rating is made up of two numbers.
01:27The first number is for dust particles against protection.
01:30And the second number is for liquid.
01:32Let's understand with an example.
01:34Suppose your phone's IP rating is IP67.
01:376 means that you have been offered 6th level protection against dust.
01:41Which is pretty good.
01:437th level of water protection means that you get protection up to 1 meter in water.
01:48Most of the premium phones these days come with IP68 ratings.
01:52Which can be safe for 30 minutes up to 1.5 meters in water.
01:56But this doesn't mean that you should expose your phone to dust and water.
02:03No.
02:04These are for accidental situations.
02:06And under normal circumstances.
02:08Also look at the difference between water resistant and waterproof.
02:12Water resistant phones can be saved from a little water.
02:15You can't dip them in water and use them.
02:18But waterproof phones survive in water and are used.
02:22So the phone in your hand is most probably water resistant.
02:27Don't consider it waterproof.
02:29Warranty cover.
02:31Now comes the question of warranty.
02:34Does your phone's warranty cover the damage caused by water?
02:38Often not.
02:40In regular company warranty, generally water damage is not covered.
02:45Yes, if you are exposed to extreme conditions like dust and water.
02:49Then taking an extended warranty or damage protection plan will be a wise decision.
02:54Yes, you may have to pay a little extra.
02:56In India, brands like Bajaj Fencer, One Assist, V-Connect Care, Reliance Digital.
03:02Offer you insurance for phone damage caused by water.
03:06Whose cost is generally between Rs.1500 to Rs.3000.
03:10This cost also depends on the brand and value of your phone.
03:14What to do in case of water damage?
03:17Suppose your phone is damaged by water.
03:21What should you do?
03:22First of all, turn off the phone immediately.
03:25Water and electricity combo can be very dangerous for the phone.
03:29Turning off the phone reduces the risk of short circuit.
03:33Don't click on the restart option by mistake.
03:37Remove all accessories.
03:39Phone cases, SIM cards, memory cards and headphones can trap moisture.
03:44Which can cause more damage.
03:47Next, wipe the surface of the phone well and dry it.
03:51I will tell you one way, but you have to be extremely careful about it.
03:55If you have a vacuum cleaner at home, cover its mouth with a sock.
03:59And bring it closer to the phone's affected areas.
04:02Make sure that the intensity of the vacuum cleaner is the lowest.
04:05It should not happen that the phone parts come into your hands.
04:07Be careful.
04:08If there is any electronic device at home, it has small packets of silica gel.
04:13Don't throw them away, keep them carefully.
04:16Put your liquid damaged phone in the silica gel packets.
04:20These are really good drying agents.
04:22They can absorb the internal moisture of the phone.
04:25And forget the phone for at least two days.
04:28Trust me, the insect will jump inside, but stay calm.
04:32A little social media detox is healthy only baba.
04:35Consult a repair professional.
04:37In case your phone turns on after everyone, first backup your data.
04:43After that, access Facebook and Instagram.
04:46What not to do?
04:48As much as it is important to know what to do.
04:51In the case of a phone, it is more important to know what not to do.
04:56First of all, do not blow air into the phone.
04:59It will spread the moisture throughout.
05:01Do not use a heater, hair dryer or oven at all.
05:04The internal components of the phone can deteriorate due to heat.
05:07A habit that we all have is that if something goes wrong, we start shaking it and beating it.
05:13There is no use of this.
05:15In fact, the damage can increase.
05:17I repeat, do not turn on the phone under any circumstances.
05:21For at least 24 to 48 hours.
05:23Now let's address the age-old home remedy.
05:26People say that put a wet phone in a rice box and the phone will be alright.
05:31It's not entirely wrong and neither entirely safe.
05:34Dry rice are great moisture absorbents.
05:37But if this rice gets into your phone, it can be equally dangerous.
05:42In case you don't have a silicone gel packet, put it in a rice box.
05:46But wrap the phone first in a tissue paper and you're all set.
05:50So whenever you go to the market to buy a new phone, make sure to check its IP rating.
05:57iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S24, S23 Ultra models, Google Pixel 7 and 8 Pro,
06:03OnePlus 10 Pro, Motorola Edge 40 Neo are some models which have IP68 ratings.
06:09You will find water-resistant phones in almost every brand.
06:12You just need to check.
06:14Our view is that even after drowning in water, your phone can be saved.
06:19Only if you take these actions quickly.
06:22But prevention is always better than cure.
06:25Keep your phone safe.
06:27Leave it alone for some time so that it can retrospect.
