Are there any maintenance tips to preserve the IP68 rating of the Galaxy S25

Avoid High-Pressure Water Exposure
Do not expose your Galaxy S25 to water moving with force, such as in a shower or during water sports. High-pressure water can exceed the device's resistance capabilities and potentially cause damage[1][2].

Limit Submersion Depth and Duration
While the IP68 rating allows for submersion in freshwater up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes, it is advisable to avoid intentional immersion. Prolonged exposure or deeper submersion can compromise the seals that protect against water ingress[3][4].

Clean After Liquid Exposure
If your device comes into contact with any liquid other than freshwater—such as soapy water, oil, or chemicals—rinse it gently with fresh water immediately. After rinsing, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent residue build-up that may affect its performance[2][4].

Monitor for Physical Damage
Be cautious of drops or impacts that may damage the device. Such physical shocks can weaken the seals and gaskets that contribute to its water resistance. If the device has been dropped or damaged, it's wise to have it inspected for potential loss of water resistance[2][4].

Avoid Extreme Environments
Refrain from using the device in extreme temperatures, such as in saunas or steam rooms, where sudden temperature changes can affect its seals and overall integrity[2][3].

Regular Maintenance Checks
Over time, the water and dust resistance can diminish due to normal wear and tear. Regularly check for any signs of wear, especially around ports and seams, and consider using a protective case for additional safety[1][6].

By adhering to these guidelines, you can help maintain the IP68 rating of your Galaxy S25 and ensure its longevity in various environments.
