Its IP65 if the headphone jack isnt covered. Per the manufacturer’s website for this phone model:
The device has been tested for water resistance using IEC 60529 standard and has achieved an IP65/68 rating. Water and dust resistance can deteriorate over time in normal usage, or if the device is damaged, repaired or taken apart. The device should never be completely submerged underwater, and should not be allowed to come into contact with seawater, brine, chlorinated water or drinks. Failure to observe correct precautions will invalidate the device warranty and the function of water and dust resistance. Water resistance is tested by submerging the device to a depth of 1.5 meters in tap water for 30 minutes. After the test the device is removed and fully dried, then checked for normal operation. Please note that the device has a USB-C charging port, and this USB-C port must be completely dry before any attempt is made at charging. For related warranty information, please refer to the product warranty card.
I don’t see that mentioning anything about covering the headphone jack before the test. As I understand it, being ip65/68 means it’s both, where 65 is “low power spray” and 68 is “immersion”, not that it’s 68 only if some unspecified conditions are applied
This device is water resistant and protected against dust. All ports and attached covers should be firmly closed. Do not put the device completely underwater or expose it to seawater, salt water, chlorinated water or liquids such as drinks. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate the limited warranty. The device has been tested under Ingress Protection rating IP65/68. Sony devices that are tested for their water-resistant abilities are placed gently inside a container filled with tap water and lowered to a depth of 1.5 meters. After 30 minutes in the container, the device is gently taken out and its functions and features are tested. Note this model has a capless USB port to connect and charge. The USB port needs to be completely dry before charging.
Per manufacturer’s website for s9+:
Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP67 Rating, which tests submersion up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. Not shockproof.
Per manufacturer’s website for s7:
Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP67 Rating, which tests submersion up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. Not shockproof.
all rated for ip68, all with a headphone jack. every company lacks water damage warranty because of the nature of being unable to tell if you were using it within spec or not.
not the hill i would die on, also confused where the hell you even got those quotes?

Waiting for the phone model so I can pull up the specifications that will have this information. I don’t keep a list of phones that have a 3.5mm port on me.
I’ve needed my phone to be water proof exactly once in the 20ish years that I’ve had one and that was in 2006. I think I’ll manage without it. I use my headphone jack and SD slot every day.
Uh, Android supports using sdcards, 3.5mm headphone jacks, and also nvme drives. Literally just get any usb-c adapter for your use case.
Id go for an nvme drives over sdcards though.
Using any kind of adaptor for features that have been and still easily could be native is shitty.
Id rather have a good ip68 rated phone with shitty adapters than a shitty phone with native 3.5mm port and sdcard slot, but to each their own.
The removal of headphone jacks or sdcards have nothing to do with ip68 rating. It’s to sell adapters and to make you pay a lot for extra storage
Oh man, FYI you can’t get an IP68 rating with a headphone jack alone unless you manually cover the slot each time.
Asus zenphone 10, for example. IP68, headphone jack
I’m sure there are and have been others

I am sorry, I am unable to find any kind of video that shows the Asus Zenfone 10 IP68 test.
I do see this post though: https://zentalk.asus.com/t5/zenfone-10/welp-think-my-zenfone-10-just-died/td-p/414686
As well as a notice from Asus: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1046136/
say that to my xperia with ip68 and a headphone jack, or my s9+ which had ip68 and a headphone jack, or my s7 that had ip68 and a headphone jack, or…
Ok, I’ll say that to your xperia, s9+, and s7

Do you want me to make a video that shows you where that is on the page?
Source?
For which phone model would you like me to look up the manufacturer’s website for you?
Just have to prove your own words. Leaving your comment here in case you forgot 🙂

I don’t want to have to carry a dongle around to use things that should be built into the phone.
