Is Samsung Galaxy J4 Waterproof Device?

With the increasing demand for budget smartphones from customers, Samsung launched their another smartphone named Samsung Galaxy J4 in May  2018. However, users are eagerly waiting for announcements about its official IP68 ratings. Months have passed but there is still no news on the official IP68 ratings on Galaxy J4 smartphone. So to uncover, the truth lets do a Samsung Galaxy J4 waterproof test. Since the device comes under just 10,000 INR price segment, it is quite justified for Samsung not to post official IP68 ratings. However, customers and potential buyers need to know the truth about this smartphone. So Without a further do, let’s start with our Samsung Galaxy J4 waterproof test.

Before proceeding with our Samsung Galaxy J4 waterproof test, let’s get to know some of the device specifications itself.

The storage of the device can be further extended to 256 GB using an external SD card. Talking about the camera department, Galaxy J4 s featuring a 13MP rear shooter and a 5MP selfie shooter camera. This is more than enough to meet the requirement of normal users.

In Splash proof test, we will test the device to withstand an accidental water splash to see whether the device survives in such condition. Since there is no official information on IP68 ratings about Samsung Galaxy J4 device, so it might not pass our splashproof test.

Samsung Galaxy J4 Rainwater test

In this test, we are going to suspend the device in artificial rain environment. This also mimics the showering conditions as well. Later on, we will see if the device withstands these conditions or not.

After testing Samsung Galaxy J4 in artificial rain conditions, we observed that the device is capable of performing well. Since the device touchscreen stops responding to touches underwater, users can not make or receive calls. But hardware is fully functional at this point.
