Holi is one of the very popular festivals in the country and it is the festival of joy, music, and vibrant colours. It offers a special vibe and creates special bond with friends and family. However, while we are busy splashing “Gulaal” and water balloons, our essential tech products like smartphones, smartwatches, and earbuds are often at high risk. A single splash of colored water or a grain of fine powder in a charging port can lead to expensive repairs. Today we will be checking out the ultimate guide to protect your gadgets during the celebration of Holi.
Understand Your IP Rating
It is very important to check the water resistance of your device and most modern flagship devices come with an IP68 rating, meaning they can manage submersion. Unfortunately, “water-resistant” is not “colour-resistant.” Fine mica particles in Holi powders can still scratch screens or clog speaker grilles. If your device has a lower rating (like IP53 or IP64), you need to keep your devices far away from the splash zone.
The “Ziplock” Hack
It is one of the very effective solutions for tech protection. Placing your phone in a high-quality transparent Ziplock bag will enable you to use the touchscreen and even take photos while keeping 100% of the water and dust out.
Seal the Ports
The charging port and headphone jack are very sensitive, and it is the most vulnerable spots. Even a tiny amount of moisture can trigger a “Liquid Detected” warning, it will restrict you from charging your device for hours. So you need to use dust plugs or a small piece of clear adhesive tape to temporarily seal these openings before you go out to play the colour of the festival.
Avoid Charging a Wet Device
If your phone does get wet while playing Holi then the golden rule is: Do not plug it in. Charging a device with moisture in the port can cause a short circuit. So simply wipe the device with a microfiber cloth and let it air dry completely. It is worth mentioning that you never follow the old “rice bucket” myth. You must keep your device in a well-ventilated area or near a fan.
Use Bluetooth Accessories Wisely
You must switch your phone and use a water-resistant Bluetooth speaker to add some extra vibe to the Holi celebration with music. This will enable you to keep your phone safely in your home, and you will be able to control your Holi playlist remotely.
Technology is an investment, and a little bit of grit will destroy your phone. By following these simple steps, you can capture every colourful moment without worrying about your device and additional expenditure the next morning.
