    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.

        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)

        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!

        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.
