The new Google Pixel offers us fantastic specifications at a price that is no longer the main reason to get hold of the terminals that Google launched on the market. But in addition to the price, the other but that we find in this terminal is the IP53 resistor, which does not allow us to submerge the device in water, it is only capable of splashing water. Currently, most of the high-end terminals on the market, where Google wants to put its head, offer us resistance to water, so they can be submerged without problems. In this sense, the Google Pixel goes wrong and is one of the reasons why many users do not decide to buy it.
In this video three tests are carried out to see the resistance of the Google Pixel to water. First, he dips slightly in a puddle for a while, to see if water gets in through any of the connections. Secondly, it is sprayed with water, simulating rain, and thirdly the Google Pixel is immersed in water for 30 minutes And as we can see, it is able to resist without offering any subsequent problems in its operation, at least as soon as the test is finished. In this video we cannot see if the camera has been affected in this last test.
We can only see how the screen works correctly. We also do not know if connecting USB-C has suffered a problem when charging it. What is clear is that in all probability Google will add water resistance in the next version if you really want to be an alternative to the kings of the current high-end, where we only find Samsung and Apple.
