A waterproof device is nothing but a smartphone with special IP ratings. These IP Codes (or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating*) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. It mainly tells us whether the device is splashproof or waterproof. Every officially waterproof smartphone has IP ratings which prove its waterproof features.

There are no IP ratings for the device in the product launch page neither the specs sheet page. But don’t worry, as we will continue with our Realme XT waterproof test to find out wether this device can sustain underwater or not.
