Are The Redmi Note 11, Note 11s & Note 11 Pro Waterproof?
The answer to this question is: No! The Redmi Note 11, 11s, and 11 Pro are not waterproof. These phones do not have the IP68 rating which means they are not water-resistant and can’t withstand being submerged underwater.
Only phones with the IP68 rating offer water and dust protection. Therefore, users should try as much as possible to keep these phones away from water. But, they feature an IP53 rating which offers dust and splash resistance.
