Next Nokia Lumia, PureView will be Waterproof

Bangalore: Nokia is now building up to get back its losing battle in the smartphone market with some water weapons. The mobile maker is promising to solve one of the main pain-point which users face with their high-end smartphones. The company states that they are going to use ‘superhydrophobic’ technology to repel water in their next smartphone which includes Lumia and Pureview.

At the launch of Lumia 610 in the European market Conor Pierce, Vice President at Nokia Western Europe says, “What happens when a drop of water lands on a lotus leaf… has baffled scientists for generations… but our team in Cambridge UK found a solution.” He went on to explain by claiming, “Nano technology lets us do it. Superhydrophobic technology makes water bounce, it stops it, rolls it off the device and leaves it water impregnant, that’s the magic, that’s what we’re going to bring to the party”, reports Tech2.

We all love or smart-devices and it’s a real worry and sadness if a sudden downpour made our favorite gadget go bad. The new superhydrophobic technology will make your phones waterproof by repelling the water and leaving the device dry. This will lead you to carry and use your phone in rain, pool or any other water porn areas and indirectly increases the life span of your device.

The company doesn’t give any confirmation about when these waterproof devices will hit the market, but the work is underway and it’s for sure that the future Lumia smartphones and Symbian phones which come with PureView technology will not water phobic.
