Hi

I'm looking for a new phone. I've just accidentally drowned my previous phone, so as a result I'm now very interested in phones with IP68 waterproofing feature 🙂

Budget is around $600 (might be able to stretch to $700 for the right phone).
Looking for a mid-range Android phone (or previous-generation flagship).

Most important feature is IP68 waterproofing (hopefully to prevent future drownings).

Other important features:
* FullHD (1920x1080) or better screen resolution
* Largish screen 5.5" or bigger
* Decent camera (used often for snapshots)
* 32GB storage minimum, 64GB+ preferred
* microSD card capability (for photo storage) - if not included, then phone storage would need to be larger - 64GB minimum
* Decent battery life
* Decent performance
* Needs to work on Vodafone network

I don't really have a brand preference. My recent android phone history was:
Samsung Galaxy S3, then Samsung Galaxy S5, then I changed to Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (my just drowned phone).

I imagine IP68 waterproofing will drastically reduce the available options.

I guess another option might be a waterproof case to go on a non-IP68 phone.
I haven't had any experience with waterproof cases, so would be interested in any feedback on these too, but I guess it would add a lot of bulk to the phone.

Any suggestions welcomed.

Thanks in advance,
Tim
