These Waterproof Smartphones Can Handle Being Submerged In Up to 5 Feet of Water

Zeeshan Mir Baz has collected the information from this website:https://www.bestproducts.com/tech/electronics/g3138/water-resistant-waterproof-smartphones/ in this article said that:

Some say electronics and water don't mix, but that's not the case with these waterproof smartphones. They're covered with a water-resistant coating that protects them against rain, sweat, spills, or a tumble in a puddle. Their water resistance is categorized with a rating determined by the International  Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The most common ratings you'll come across are IP67 and IP68. Smartphones with an IP67 rating are fully protected from dust and can withstand being submerged in 3.3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. IP68 means the phones can be submerged in 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes.
Most manufacturers claim their devices are either water-resistant or waterproof. Water-resistant means the smartphones can survive small splashes of water, rain, sweat, a drop in the snow, or a spill. Waterproof means the phone will be fine if it's completely submerged or soaked, so it'll be fine if you accidentally drop it in the pool, toilet, or your drink. You can get your waterproof phone wet from the shower, sink, or bathtub, too.
It's important to note that waterproof and water-resistant smartphones don't bode well in saltwater. They also shouldn't be used in saunas, steam rooms, or hot tubs, because higher temperatures can damage your device. You should also avoid pressing buttons on your devices while they're underwater, because it could lead to unwanted water entering the casing. Be sure to wait for your smartphone to be completely dry before charging it.
Please note that the prices for these phones are for contract-free devices. When shopping for a factory-unlocked smartphone, check carefully to ensure that it's compatible with your wireless carrier. Most devices will work with AT&T and T-Mobile, but not necessarily with Verizon and Sprint.

1 Apple iPhone X

Apple

from $999 BUY NOW
The iPhone X is Apple's vision for the future of smartphones. It's elegant, superbly crafted, and more powerful than any other phone. We think it’s the best smartphone you can buy, thanks to its fantastic design and amazing user experience. Compared to its predecessors, this one has a gorgeous OLED Retina display without bezels, and it ditches the fingerprint sensor for facial recognition.
The home button is replaced by swiping gestures, so instead of pressing a button to go to the home screen, you just swipe up.
It’s outfitted with dual 12 MP camera sensors, a 7 MP selfie camera, and a large 2,716 mAh battery. The iPhone X is rated IP67 water-resistant, so it can be submerged without breaking.

3 Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus

Apple

from $699 BUY NOW
The new waterproof iPhone 8 features an all-glass design, better graphics and processing power than last year's models, and two superb cameras with impressive low-light performance. It's also the first iPhone that supports wireless charging and augmented reality.
The smartphone still has the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays as the iPhone 7 (depending on if you get the Plus variant or not), but there's a new gold or red color option for the iPhone 8. Plus, it's equipped with better cameras with faster auto-focus and greater noise reduction, and Apple’s speedy six-core A11 Bionic processor — the same one featured in the iPhone X. It lacks a headphone jack, though, so make sure you pick up a pair of wireless earbuds!

T-Mobile: $849.99 BUY NOW
Despite the release of the Galaxy S9, Samsung has yet to announce a Galaxy S9 Active. For now, the older Galaxy S8 Active is still a great option for those looking for an ultra durable, water-resistant smartphone. It features a military-grade, shatter-resistant screen, but it's missing the elegant infinity edge curves found on the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
This model's polycarbonate back is shock-resistant, and it won't crack like the S8 or S8+'s glass backing would. It also packs a larger 4,000mAh battery, compared to the Galaxy S8's 3,000mAh one.
