Galaxy S5 was IP67 with a headphone socket, removable battery and dedicated microSD card slot.
Others have also existed.
Taking like adding a headphone socket costs more than 5 cents is stupid.
I'm a Bluetooth buds convert now, but I'd still like the choice.
IP67 and IP68 are considerably different. It's basically the difference between water-resistant and water proof. IP67 could handle splashes of water and, at least on paper, brief submersion. In reality, most. IP67 phones did not handle any level of immersion well.
IP68 on the other hand allows phones to be submerged deeper in water and for much longer. You can have IP67 with those features, but IP68 is a different beast.
LoL... Really?
1 number apart, but considerably different.
Sure.
Difference between x5 and x7 maybe.
To pass x6 a device must be submerged to a depth of 1m for 30 minutes.
IPx7 is for a device intended to operate permanently submerged. So not a phone.
That fact your picking the difference shows you don't know the difference.
IP67 is just a marketing gimmick.
I'd be impressed if a phone with this rating would endure 12 months submerged and still function. Who needs this anyway?
IP67 in reality won't last 30 minutes submerged in most cases. I've had flagship level IP67 devices get damaged by water ingress by being splashed or dunked a couple inches into a pool for less than a second. My Pixel 8 Pro goes into the shower, bath, pool, hot tub, and rain with me and it's never skipped a beat.
