New Water Resistant Smartphones
Cellphones can be quite expensive and people do all they can to protect them. They buy various cases that can protect their phones including hard cases, shockproof and even waterproof cases. What if we tell you there is a waterproof phone, will you buy it? Well the is,
Due to a high demand, leading smartphone manufacturers are trying to work out with a feasible solution to obtain the shockproof and waterproof features on the phone itself instead of buying cases and protective cover to do the job. As of now, there is a private Utah based company named HzO who came up with the idea and design of waterproofing electronic devices such as smartphones. This method is known as Water Block technology, which can protect your gadgets from damage caused by water accidents.
The waterproof casings that are available for smartphones add weight to the phone and some people will prefer not to use them. However with HzO Water Block technology it’s different. The phone feels lighter, they were able to maintain the actual size and weight of the phone of the thin and transparent film used that is not visible at all in this waterproofing method. The other good thing about this technology is that, , it doesn’t only provide protection on the outer parts of the phone but it also protects the internal electronic components such as batteries, logic boards and transistors using the same waterproof coating.
As mentioned, there are other waterproof casings available in the market especially made for smartphones. Nevertheless, some users prefer not to use it because it adds weight to the phone itself and looks bulkier, thus becoming inconvenient to use. With HzO Water Block technology, they were able to maintain the actual size and weight of the gadgets because of the thin and transparent film used that is not visible at all in this waterproofing method.
It uses a water repellent barrier for waterproofing and this is what keeps the smartphone safe from moisture even if it gets immersed in water. The very good thing about this technology is that, it doesn’t only provide protection on the outer parts of the phone but it also protects the internal electronic components such as batteries, logic boards and transistors using the same waterproof coating.
The process of waterproofing the device with HzO’s Water block technology can take several hours and so they find it too costly if they offer it at an after-market option that is why they have been conducting talks with various phone makers like Apple and Samsung to integrate this technology with their phones. If phone manufacturers incorporate the waterproofing technology in the manufacturing process of their phones, then this technology will be made available at little or no additional cost to consumers.
Apple and Samsung are likely to adapt this technology in their forthcoming products including Apple’s iPhone. HzO aims to make their water block technology a standard for all phones. If they succeed in negotiating with phone manufacturers, then this is another great feature that will benefit consumers.
