Smartphones that are Safe for Holi and The Ones that need to be handled with Utmost Care

Indians celebrate the festival of colours ‘Holi’ with much pomp and ceremony amidst friends and family. And when there is any festive occasion, we tend to capture every moment of it on our smartphones.

But you need to check if your Smartphone is capable enough to endure the damage that might happen due to carelessness during the festive time.

As holi is a festival of water and colours, you need to check whether your phone is dust and waterproof or not.

You can check the water and dust resistance capacity of your handset with the IP ratings of your device.

The higher the rating, the better equipped the device is to handle water and dust. Here is a list of phones to measure how ‘Holi-safe’ is your smartphone.
