According to him, the use of even protected frommoisture of devices in the bathroom can lead to a short circuit inside the smartphone and breakage of the motherboard, which is not always repairable. Kuzmenko noted that despite IP68 protection, when the device is protected from even short-term immersion in water, a sharp temperature drop can lead to condensation inside the device, which causes danger to internal components that are not in a vacuum.
From the outside, condensate can enter the device through scratches, cracks, chips on the glass, smartphone case. As a result, this will shorten its life.
Modern smartphone models are protected from moisture anddust according to the IP68 standard. This standard protects the device from water ingress in most cases, even from small, short-term immersion. When taking the gadget to the bathroom, where there are strong temperature changes and condensation, it is worth considering that the device protection standards are not designed for such use. Thus, there is a high probability of moisture forming inside the device as condensation, which will certainly lead to a short circuit of the motherboard, which is not always a repairable case.
