Ulefone Armor 2 IP68-Rated Rugged Phone Dust-Proof Test


Chinese phone manufacturer Ulefone had already showed us how their latest Ulefone Armor 2 rugged phone behaves in water, but we still had to see how it stands against dust. Well, in their recent uploaded to Youtube they do just that, let’s check it out down below!

In the video test we see how the guys over at Ulefone dump the Ulefone Armor 2 in a bowl filled with flour, shake things up and take the phone out. As we expected, give the smartphone’s IP68 rating, the Armor 2 came out just fine from the test.

They then added water to the mix and made a nice dough with the device. After getting out and washing it a bit with some clean water the phone is back to service. As the company confirms, these kind of tests are really easy to withstand for the Armor 2 which theoretically withstand submersion in concrete at a depth of 1 meter for 24 hours.
