I'm not about to review a jar of water
no that would be very boring but what I
have here is my Mi 6 it's about six
days old and it's working perfectly fine
there's nothing wrong with it I'm going
to test to see if it really is
waterproof as some sites are claiming
there's this rumor going around that it
and in fact is waterproof and that
Xiaomi didn't want to pay for the IP
certification and they didn't want any
warranty claim issues or whatever so
that's why they just say it's place
resistance if you happen to get a water
damage then it's your own damn fault so
I'm going to drop this in here hopefully
it's going to survive I'm going to keep
it in there just for a little while to
make it more realistic because I don't
think most people will let their mobile
phone fall into a sink for example and
just sit and watch it for 30 minutes no
I'm going to drop it in leave it for a
few minutes maybe a minute or so then
pull it out see what happened so let's
have a look
okay so just set up my Mi Max which is
on the left that you can see with the
timer I'm going to hit that timer to
start as soon as I put it in the water
to this phone fully working as you can
see. I'm going to say I'm a little bit
nervous about this I really hope I'm not
about to this waste $450 worth of mobile
phone so here goes nothing going to drop
it in so start the timer as soon as it
hits I'm not going to leave it in there
for too long only point about a minute I
think is realistic so here we go start
and drop okay it's still on no problems
it's going to move it so you can
actually see the screen there we go
touch is still working there okay so so
far so good I think by now you would
have pulled it out of the sink if you
were having a shave and you dropped it
or if you dropped it in the toilet you
would have run off by now to get some
rubber gloves on and then pull it out so
it's lasted 30 seconds now bubbles are
coming out of it or off it which doesn't
look too good so far
good okay we're coming up to a minute
now and I'm probably just going to let
it go for about a minute or so because I
think that's realistic enough I'm not
going to freeze it now and then drop it
off a cliff or anything and then put a
5,000 degree burning hot iron through it
none of those kind of tests here but if
it does die then I might actually do a
beam test in a scratch test okay I don't
know how long I want to leave it for I'm
going to leave it for 1 minute 30 I
think that's plenty of time for people
to pull their phone out of a swimming
pool pull it out of this bar pool pull
it out of the ocean wherever you dropped
it by mistake quickly okay all right
let's pull it out now don't worry this
will not be the one I'm giving away I'm
giving away a completely new one okay
seems to be working fine back button
home button see if the fingerprint
reader is going to work my fingers all
wet soaking wet yes it no mmm okay it
wants my super secure password there so
it survived 1 minute and 30 seconds
which is really good so there we go that
may be it is actually waterproof well
I'd say it's waterproof for maybe a
couple of minutes at that at best really
so hopefully you can see that at the
ports they're all full of water you can
see on that USB type-c port and inside
the speaker microphone grill that
there's yeah that's full of water that
has still little has to come out so I'm
going to have to dry it off and
hopefully I'm not going to run into any
port issues like it stops charging or
date or anything like that okay not good
is I need a few minutes later and this
has happened it completely died on me
see that nummy logo just flashed and the
battery icon is flashing by
is completely dead now I had about 60%
or I think it was a left 40% battery and
it's also making this hissing noise so
it's not what approved that I think I've
just killed my nice ex there oh dear not
good okay so I'm sad really I'm kind of
half laughing at my stupidity I was
really hoping it was going to be
waterproof and look promising doesn't it
and then suddenly I mean it won't even
power on this thing the speaker's was
making this crackling noise as well I
don't know whether it was from the
earpiece or the bottom but note yeah I
can hear it making that noise under the
me logo just flashed in me and I did so
I'm probably going to have to open it up
somehow or I can see water's still
dripping and coming out of the speaker
grill there there's a lot of water in
that so obviously it got in from the
bottom and I think it got in through
this site here so yeah don't believe the
rubbish that they post those show me
fanboys I think they're paid by them
it's just all crap it's not waterproof
they show them pouring massive amounts
of jugs of water on it clearly no no no
no no so what do you do don't drop your
phone in water like me oh I hope I can
make some money
back off this and this video goes viral
what a waste so there won't be any more
water tests or anything like that drop
test ever coming from me I don't think I
just hate killing perfectly fine Tech's
nothing wrong with it anyway thank you so
much for watching bye for now and don't
forget that you can win one of these I
do have a giveaway of course it won't be
this model I have a second unit that's
perfectly fine
still got all the factory wrapper and
stuff on it so make sure you enter into
when that which will be drawn on the
22nd so I've got some rice to the rescue
now hopefully I can bring this thing
back to life let it sit in this for a
few days I hope
