@sekki @copd if my device only cost around $500, that IP rating would be fine, but when you’re paying three times that, you want it to be fully waterproof, sorry, resistant.
For the kind of money flagship phones go for these days, I want that bastid waterproof down to 300 meters AND last a week.
I don't know what a Fairphone costs where you live but where I live the Fairphone 5 starts at 550€ and the model with more storage and memory is 629€. That is no where even in the near of three times the price.
@sekki I didn’t say it was. I said at that price, a lower IP rating wouldn’t bother me. My device cost $1,600 so it better have the best IP rating available.
