Vivo, the mid-range mobile phone manufacturer, usually focus on the camera but nowadays, they have started looking into many other aspects, such as waterproofing. The all-new Vivo V23 5G and V23 Pro are set to be launched into the market with some cool features, and people want to know whether they are waterproof.
In 2022, having a water-resistant mobile phone has become a necessity. Owning a waterproof and dustproof mobile phone means you can use it while you relax in a pool or use your handset in the rain without fear of damaging it. Usually, waterproof mobiles have an IP(Ingress Protection) rating—IP67 or IP68 rating, which means the device can withstand being submerged in water for 30 minutes.
In an IP rating, if the first digit is “6” then it means it has good dust protection while the second digit is related to liquids. The second digit should be “7” or more than it, as below that is not a complete water-resistant phone which means it can handle water splashes only.

Conclusion
So, we can say that either of the smartphones, Vivo V23 5G and Vico V23 Pro have waterproof or dustproof abilities.
