Xiaomi still does not have IP certification - water resistance is therefore not guaranteed. For example, you shouldn't take your smartphone with you in the shower to listen to music - underwater photos are completely excluded. The Mi 10 (Pro / Lite) should also be able to withstand a few raindrops. In this case, you should only try to dry the device quickly and have to live with minor operating problems on the touchscreen.

Without IP certification, you should still be careful with splashing water. Liquid indicators are built into almost all modern technical devices. If your device shows damage due to moisture, the manufacturer can determine this - the manufacturer's guarantee is thus void.

Xiaomi Mi 10 (Pro / Lite): make it waterproof afterwards - is that possible?

Before each use, you should test the case with a handkerchief instead of your smartphone in order to rule out a production error or damage.

Waterproof smartphone: sense or nonsense?

Actually, a smartphone shouldn't be used in a water-near environment. Exceptions are people who work on or in the water. But there are special devices for this. Or does so many people actually drop their smartphones in the toilet? Does your new smartphone have to be waterproof?
