Well this Kyocera Rafre model could be the phone of my dreams, given the fact that I am so careless when I use my smartphones (sorry).
Kyocera’s latest model is one of the first “washable” smartphones in the world, it can be cleaned using foaming soap and can be used even when it’s wet (touchscreen included). It’s (obviously) water resistant, so you can use it during your shower in the morning, or during a relaxing bath before going to sleep and it also includes a cooking app that enables you to operate the phone using hand gestures while you prepare the meal!

They’ve got alot of innovative models in their portfolio, still baffles me why they are nowhere when world major smartphone makers come into question.
Only sell in US through carriers, that’s why.
Japan has always been the leaders when it comes to mobile technogy. People went ape shit over the xiaomi mi mix but Sharp made that move in Japan years ago.
Yeah. The Aquus Crystal. Hope I got the name right?
Japan had other innovations too. If I remember correctly, many of their flip phones have the same features we have gotten in our “smart” phones before touch screen even took over.

Why would anyone want to wash his phone ?
I don’t get it.
Because smartphones are full of germs and are dirty af
Docs say there is no probleme if its your phone because it comes with your own germ ecosystem. The problem is when you use someone else’s phone. Like this man in Uganda who stole a phone in an hospital and got Ebola from it xD
My concern is not with my own germs but rather those that get on it when I put it on the table
I work in a hospitals and want to wash my phone constantly instead of using antimicrobal wipes
OK… that makes sense from an ecological point of view ^^
