hi I'm Luke Westlake the cnet here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona we're taking a look at an exciting new type of phone waterproofing tech it's p 2 i's dunker ball system so most waterproofing on smartphones happens using mechanical barriers that means that the phone has actual bits of waterproof hardware bolted onto the side like gaskets to stop water getting in this technology doesn't require those mechanical barriers though it applies a nano coating of a polymer and that's actually done in a plasma chamber and what it means is that you can take any smartphone you don't have to have special waterproof design and you can make it completely waterproof I think waterproof smartphones are great it's definitely something that should be standard on our phones and tablets these days and I love the idea of not having to make any design compromises to make that technology waterproof you'll be able to buy phones that use p 2 i's dunka ball technology later this year on luke westaway for cnet's check out cnet com for much much more from Mobile World Congress
