Realme X50 5G Waterproof and Splashproof Test
In our waterproof test, we will test the device for waterproofing measures. Since the device is not officially waterproof, we will test it if it holds good underwater. After the test, we would know if the new Realme X50 is waterproof and splashproof or not.
warning
The above waterproof test’s results are purely based on individual/team observation. These tests will only give an idea of whether a device is waterproof or not. We recommend users not to try this test at home, as it might damage your device.
After conducting the waterproof test, the device seems to operate normally in the splashproof test. This means that the device can handle accidental water spills or juice spills. However, when it comes to waterproofing, the device doesn’t hold good. It gets water damage on major I/O ports including the charging connector and speaker grill. The earpiece stops working after the waterproof test. So it’s safe to assume that the new Realme X50 5G is not actually a waterproof device.
