            In this case it’s “Ingress Protection” rating - as in how well it prevents water and dust from getting inside the phone when exposed.

            Edit: since I’m on hold and bored, here’s the Bard description of the rating system

            The Ingress Protection (IP) rating system is a two-digit code that tells you how well an enclosure is protected against dust and water. Here’s a quick breakdown:

            • First digit: This is for solid objects, like dust, fingers, or tools. It goes from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust-tight).
            • Second digit: This is for water, like splashes, rain, or immersion. It goes from 0 (no protection) to 9 (protected against high-pressure water jets).

            So, an IP67 rating means the device is dust-tight and can withstand being submerged in water for a short time.

            Here are some real-world examples:

            • IP44: Splashproof phone, suitable for light rain or spills.
            • IP65: Dustproof camera, good for outdoor use but not submersion.
            • IPX7: Waterproof smartwatch, can survive a dunk in the pool.
            • IP68: Rugged phone, can handle being underwater for extended periods.

            Remember, IP ratings are just guidelines. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for specific usage advice.

      Do you own one? i bought the phone 1 to use as a work phone and its been pretty stellar tbh. Not something to use as a daily, I’d prefer a flagship for that but the phone has been really good to me

        Honestly the fact that you explicitly say you wouldn’t use it as a daily driver, when that’s all most people have… is a terrible review.

          Ehhh no i’m just not the right consumer.

          The phone is great for someone who wants a phone that still feels premium while being willing to sacrifice some of the frills like a slightly better camera, higher water resistance, etc

            It’s not just water resistance, it’s not even dust proof which is extremely easy to achieve in this day and age.
