It is a standard used internationally for protecting a smartphone from dusk, any form of liquid, or even impact upon the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, they have been an increase in the number of smartphones that support protection from water and other harmful things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;d probably be wondering what Ip means, well IP stands for &#8220;Ingress Protection&#8221;. A feature that indicates the protection level of each device, whether high or even low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IP displays the protection level because it depends on the index of the Ip, whether high or low. Logically, you&#8217;d want the Ip index to be higher because the protection will be higher when the Ip index is higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Ingress protection (IP), it cannot be over-emphasized to have the index at a higher tag, because that would guarantee the user having the best protection for all his phone components, even when underwater, exposed to dust, or any other harm causing agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>IP indicates protection for water, dust, and other particles on a phone.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The IP68 rating of the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro represents the capacity of dust and water the Pixel 6 is designed to withstand. &#8216;6&#8217; in the IP68 means the Pixel 6&#8217;s components are designed to prevent the infiltration of dust and other particles from getting into the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While &#8216;8&#8217; in IP68 means the Pixel 6&#8217;s water protection and resistance level.

There is a tendency the weaken the IP68 protection and thereby reduce the strength of the protection compared to when it was first purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"on-a-final-note\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">On a final note<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Google pixel 6\/6 pro comes with a rating of IP68 protection, which is pretty good. It should be noted that no phone no matter the IP rating is 100% resistant to water and regular exposure to water will degenerate the value of your Pixel 6\/6 pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore we&#8217;d advise that you should try avoiding water contact on your pixel 6\/6 pro whenever possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are excellent smartphones with premium features, however, would there be able&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4961,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[128],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pixel-6-devices.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4954"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
