Did Samsung Introduce Galaxy A10s has Waterproof and Dustproof Ratings?

A modern smartphone is only considered waterproof if it has special IP ratings for the device. The IP Code (or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating*) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. It mainly tells us whether the device is splashproof or waterproof. Every officially waterproof smartphone has IP ratings which prove its waterproof features.
