IP Rating

(Related: IP ratings explained.)

Ah, the missing official IP rating on the Honor 90 GT - the mystery in the world of smartphones! Now, should potential buyers break into a cold sweat over this absence? Not necessarily.

An official IP rating is like a phone's way of saying, "I've got this. I can handle a splash or a bit of dust, no problem." Without it, it's like going on a tech adventure without a map.

While an official IP rating would be the cherry on top, it's not a deal-breaker for everyone. If you're the type who likes to live life on the edge, take your phone to places where other phones fear to tread, then you might want to exercise a bit of caution.

To protect your precious gadget from the environmental elements, consider adopting a "safety first" approach. A protective case can be your phone's superhero cape - guarding it against accidental drops, bumps, and, to some extent, the elements. Alongside it, a screen protector is like the knight's shield, defending against scratches and minor scuffs.

Think of it as giving your phone a suit of armor - it might not make it completely invincible, but it'll certainly withstand the battles of daily life a lot better. With a little extra care and the right accessories, the Honor 90 GT can still be your trusty sidekick, ready to face the world with you. Just don't take it swimming with you, okay?

For comparison, the predecessor Honor 80 GT did not have an IP rating, either.
