Can I take my samsung s10 in the shower?

Writer Andrew Davis

Of course, you can. S10 is waterproof and dustproof to IP68 It can go down to 1.5m for 30 minutes in water. It isn’t waterproof 100% like diverse watches are for instance but it is able to withstand some quantity of rain. The device can be used to take underwater pictures and also withstand accidental splashes of water and much more. If your phone doesn’t come with an IP68 rating, simply put the phone inside the Zip Lock bag so that you can bring it into the shower.

It is also suggested to avoid taking the Galaxy S10 swimming with you. You are able to use your S10 at a distance or in a pool, but in the event that you decide to take the device too far underwater when swimming, the pressure may break through the rubber seal, thereby flooding the internals, causing damage permanently. The alarm will sound when trying to connect the charger, and it is recommended to not do it until the port is dry. Samsung suggests gentle shaking of the device (right-side upwards) to allow the water that’s trapped to escape and expects that the water will disappear naturally within one to two hours.

If you’re keeping your Smartphone inside the bathroom during your shower and wash, you’re doing everything wrong. We all like listening to music in the background as we rinse. While your shower is heating up and warm air fills the room and water slowly seeps in the crevices and corners of your smartphone. It has the potential to cause device damage in the long run.

Put your phone into an airtight ziplock bag and you’ll have a quick and extremely cheap waterproof case that fits your phone. It’s taking the phone in an airtight plastic bag that’s mostly water and air-tight.
