Rain can damage inexpensive smartphone models that are not waterproof.
Head of the telephony department of the MTS retail network Natalia Golitsyna warned that moisture can damage the USB port and display.
If water gets on the screen, dark spots will appear on it or it will stop working completely, Gazeta.Ru reports.
Also, moisture in the USB port will cause problems with charging the phone or the battery.
The expert advises protecting devices with a waterproof case with IP67 certification or higher.
Golitsyna advises not to use a smartphone in the rain. For emergency needs, it is better to have a smart watch or headphones.
In addition, the expert recommends using special plugs to protect open ports.
You should not try to repair a smartphone damaged by moisture yourself. It is better to entrust the repair to service center specialists.
