Is Realme 5i Waterproof device?
To make any smartphone waterproof, it must go through very complicated engineering and a couple of tests. After that, the smartphone can possess some sort of IP67 or IP68 waterproof ratings. This process is hard and costly, and that is why most companies do not provide waterproof features in their budget devices. However, Realme is ahead of its game and might give a splashproof or waterproof rating to its newly launched Realme 5i device.
