The Best Waterproof Phones Today
No matter how graceful you are, you’ve probably dropped your phone into the sink or toilet or spilled a drink on it. Sometimes it’s easy for our Atlanta phone repair specialists to fix a water damaged phone, but you always risk the phone getting damaged again by an accidental dunking or downpour. Fortunately, manufacturers have responded to the demand for more waterproof phones. Here are our choices for the best options on the market today.
Sony Xperia Z3
Sony’s Xperia line offers sleek style, thin profile and your choice of a compact or more tablet-like HD display. It’s also waterproof, meaning you can take it with you when you go swimming or answer calls in the rain. The Sony Xperia Z3 is everything you could want in a phone — except that it isn’t available yet. Sony has just announced this model as of September 12, and the release date is still undetermined. It’s also unsure whether it will be available in the states as previous Xperia models were only available in the U.K. and other European markets. Still, our Atlanta cellphone repair experts think this phone might be worth a visit to Amazon’s U.K. site when it is released.
Other phones in the Xperia line also have superior waterproof capabilities, though none of them can be fully immersed for long periods the way the Z3 can. Still, these phones are the very best in waterproofing.
Samsung Galaxy S5
Samsung’s latest Galaxy model is definitely available in the U.S., and the line has a proven track record of being waterproof since the launch of the Galaxy S4 Active. Waterproof coating inside entrance ports and rubber stoppers help to keep this phone safe in case of contact with water. Samsung’s Galaxy S5 is also a leader in the Android smart phone market, so you will enjoy using the phone every day, with or without water.
If you want something a little cheaper, our Atlanta Mac repair gurus recommend checking out the aforementioned Galaxy S4 Active. It has many of the same features as the S5, including waterproofing, but it has a much lower price tag because it’s last year’s model.
Kyocera Hydro Elite
Available exclusively through Verizon, the Kyocera Hydro Elite is a splash-proof phone with a very reasonable price. This mid-range phone has a decent camera, 4G LTE capabilities and wireless charging in addition to its waterproofing. This phone is definitely a win for parents and teenagers in our Atlanta iPhone repair technicians’ minds.
