I miss you, Xperia Z3 Compact. The perfect phone form factor for me IMO, give me the same phone but with updated internals and I’ll get it without any ounce of hesitation.
They are two different ratings, 6 to 8 is submersion (changing length of time in water and depth) I think while up to 5 is water jets / splashes (while 9 is fancy hot water jet)
A lot of the newer Chinese phones are rated for IP68, IP68, and IP69!
Their Xperia line all have microSD + jack + good front speakers (so no cutout/notch). Their software is generally clean (nothing like the Samsung, Xiaomi, etc. with loads of bloat), and many of their devices support LineageOS (like the Xperia 1 series up to V and the Xperia 10 VII)
Sony literally has one of the most waterproof phones.
It is IP68 AND IP 65 rated (submersion and jets) which pretty much no other phones have.
Headphone jack and SD card.
It is a complete lie for profit. Just like getting rid of chargers without lowering the price.

What does that mean? As far as I understand, IP ratings don’t work like that. It’s either IP65 or it’s IP68. It can’t be both.

Water RESISTANT.
hi, sorry, which phone?
They’re referring to the Xperia line from Sony. They’re water resistant while offering headphone jacks and micro SD slots.
They can get expensive pretty quickly though, depending on the model.
Which one is that? If it’s not bloated up with crapware it sounds like one on a future considerations list.
