Sony smartphone supported waterproof in their phones (the Xperia Z line) but now has removed that feature in most\u00a0Xperia X siblings. HTC and Motorola do waterproof their phones but only with a limited number. So how about the Xiaomi smartphone?<\/p>\n<p>Back to Xiaomi, this brand is the only one that NEVER waterproofs their phone. Talking about the reasons behind that, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, has shared some convincing ideas. According to Lei Jun, many customers has requested for a Xiaomi phone that comes with waterproof technologies, but the answer is always no. Mr. Jun shared that he doesn&#8217;t want to add waterproof to the Xiaomi smartphone because that would raise the price much higher.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- MY End of Content -->\n            <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n                 style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n                 data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n                 data-ad-slot=\"7887885268\"><\/ins>\n            <script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script>\n            <!-- MY News Mobile Middle -->\n                                <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n                                     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n                                     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n                                     data-ad-slot=\"3890141663\"><\/ins>\n                                <script>\n                                (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n                                <\/script><\/div><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22637\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Xiaomi-smartphone-2-e1466412509849.jpg\" alt=\"Xiaomi smartphone (2)\" width=\"470\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One more reason, said Lei Jun, is that the water proof function is very fragile. Any damage to the smartphone could possibly\u00a0cause the waterproof feature to malfunction. This could happen even with minor damage to the device. And the risky thing is: we don&#8217;t know whether the phone is still waterproof or not! Moreover, Xiaomi brand don&#8217;t want to mass-produce the waterproof Xiaomi smartphone because it will charge\u00a020-30% more than the actual price of the phone to create\u00a0a really strong waterproof system.<\/p>\n<h3>Xiaomi smartphone: is waterproof really necessary?<\/h3>\n<p>Mr Lei added that, if the customers are willing to pay 20-30% more money for the waterproof feature, the brand will produce the waterproof Xiaomi smartphone. However, it seems like most customers don&#8217;t want to pay that extra fee. That&#8217;s why even up to now, the Xiaomi brand founder still has to\u00a0keep his phone away from the rain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"903844ba193d23ab2be2617b0fd6a8be\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- MY End of Content -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7887885268\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waterproof has always been a desirable feature.
