Hello

I wonder if it's true that the usb-port doesn't follow usb specs regarding size/length? I.E I can't use cables and connector following the usb-c standards?

I also wonder if the IP68 specs thats on Desoon's page stipulating 1,5m at 30minutes, is correct?

Best regards
Joel

The usb connector of this phone is longer than normal to fit in the water-protected area.
The phone is IP68 certificated, that means it is dust tight and give Protection against "permanent submergence" in laboratory conditions when you follow the instructions.

I bought a generic USB c lead and took a craft knife to the plastic 2mm from the end, this worked fine. I saved some money compared to the specific leads on eBay. The audio lead is another matter. No headphones I have found fit. A 3.5mm plug to 3.5mm socket would not go amiss in the box, rather than the tacky buds supplied.

That's disappointing and an unfortunate approach as many other phonemakers are able to build phones with watertight usb-ports and keeping standards. Ok for earlier versions that relied on plugs to seal the ports, but not now. The same goes for the 3,5-inch port.

Regarding IP68, it doesn't say anything without the extra spec, that's why I asked.

Thanks for sharing info. However as it doesn't support wireless charging, the second best is Wsken magnetic usb-conectort. But if it's not standard these won't fit, unless you modify the frame surrounding the usb-port...

The first thing you need to look for is a device's Ingress Protection Rating (or International Protection Rating), although it is more commonly referred to as an IP rating. Rating codes do not include hyphens or spaces, and consist of the letters IP followed by one or two digits. Two common ratings for consumer devices are IP67 and IP68. Read on to find out exactly what that means.

IP codes are a standard set forth by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). According to the organization, the codes are designed as a "system for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical equipment."

The first number in the rating code represents the degree of protection provided against the entry of foreign solid objects, such as fingers or dust. These protection levels range from 0 to 6.

The second number represents the degree of protection against the entry of moisture, with protection levels ranging from 0 through 8.

An IP code with an "X" in place of the first or second number means that a device hasn't been tested to protect against the entry of solid objects (the first number) or moisture (the second number). For example, a device with the rating IPX7 is protected from accidental submersion in 1 meter (3.3 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes, but it has not been tested against the entry of dust.
