Rain wouldn''t really affect a waterproof phone any less than a normal one. Those random splashes will however all be registered as button presses and make it really hard to use.


    Thus you also won''t actively try to use a phone whilst swimming since it would be annoying. Using it on a fishing trip (or whilst kayaking/canoeing) would still be just as risky.


    The only thing you''re going gain from having a waterproof phone, is the ability to take that one really nice underwater photo.


    Since most newer smartphones are waterproof, to a certain degree, I wouldn''t recommend choosing a phone based on how waterproof it is. It''s just not really necessary.
