The blogosphere has been considering cell phones as magical devices that can do almost anything, they have really helped to change our lives drastically. Every year, competitors in the mobile industry continue to surprise people with what their latest flagship products can offer. Need I mention how important these gadgets are?

And so smartphone users are obliged to keep their phones protected as they are vulnerable. In most cases, smartphones can do a lot of things and swimming isn’t one of them, is it?

When you thought that wearables can’t swim, here is the list of mobile phones that will give you a paradigm shift. Now, you won’t have to wince every time you drop your phone in a body of water, or you will if it had blown your device away. Check out the list of waterproof phones below:

#1: sony xperia z1

First on the list is the Sony Xperia Z1 as it packs the best with a new 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor from Qualcomm. This 5-inch camera also features a Full HD display and a whopping 20.3-megapixel rear camera. And finally, you can capture those moments underwater beyond 1 gp for as long as you like.

#two: samsung galaxy s4 active

And so, here is the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active to steal the spotlight from the Sony Xperia Z. This phone is the waterproof version of the Samsung Galaxy S4, only the S4 Active has fewer features. However, Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is very decent with its underwater credentials. With its good photographic results, you will definitely love taking photos underwater up to 1m for 30 minutes!

#3: Motorola Defy+

As its name suggests, Motorola Defy+ defies the idea that regular phones get soaked once they’re submerged in waters. This 3.7 inch 480x854px screen definitely boasts to be the latest rugged mobile which is priced considerably cheaper than others! With a 5-megapixel shooter on the back, taking photos won’t be too bad. This phone is not only waterproof but also scratch and dust resistant.

#4: lenovo a660

This 4-inch is arguably a better phone as it is cheaper compared to the Defy+ at just 3.7-inches. Not only does it have the same resolution as Defy+, but it also has a 5-megapixel rear camera. It also has a front camera, but it’s only 0.3 megapixels. However, it is equipped with a 1 GHz dual-core processor and includes Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich which definitely explains why it is worth a try. This phone is waterproof up to 1m for 30 minutes.

#5: Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2

Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 has almost the same specifications as the Lenovo A660. Powered by a dual-core processor, this 4-inch phone boasts all-round ruggedness that can keep up with all of your most intense adventures. This phone is not only waterproof, but also dustproof and shockproof. Galaxy Xcover 2 also includes Bluetooth 4.0 which allows you to connect all your wireless BT devices up to 50m away. And like the others, this phone is waterproof up to 1m for 30 minutes.

Water is not something that cell phone back covers can protect, but it’s a good thing that waterproof phones have hit the shelves! So get ready to splash!
