2013-02-27
hey guys this is bryan bennett for cnet.com and we are at mobile world congress 2013 in barcelona right now we're taking a first look at a really interesting technology by a company called dry wired and what they do is basically coat phones with something that uses a nano technology to basically coat the inside components and also the outside of the device to protect against water they could say that it is almost totally waterproof not quite so it's very water resistant can survive water submersion for about 30 minutes in a one meter or about three feet so we're going to just take a look and see how that'll work we've got a galaxy note 2 here and I'll start the timer and we're just going to dunk it in the water this is something I would never want to do with my phone I have to tell you there we go you can see the counter running everything's fine the phone is ticking away and we can leave this in here for about 30 minutes without any issues interesting thing about dry wired is that they want to get into company's products from the beginning so they can put this technology into phones as they're made and then also they want to give it to retailers to do the same thing two phones and after you purchase the phone it also will work with tablets to any sort of electronic device so as you can see this galaxy note 2 is sitting under water spin here for about three minutes now apparently you can leave this in for up to 30 minutes without any issues and all you got to do is just reach in here grab it and everything is fine here it's a little wet as you can tell but I can stop a timer the screen is not affected buttons no problem and there you have it completely water resistant almost waterproof so there you have it folks we just took a look at the new technology from dry wired which will protect your phone against splashes and water I'm Brian Bennett for cnet com
