As the Philippines enters the peak of the rainy season, smartphone durability becomes increasingly important for users who rely on their devices for communication, navigation, and emergency updates. The vivo Y31d addresses these challenges with an emphasis on water resistance and usability in wet conditions.
Equipped with IP68 and IP69 ratings, the smartphone also features Wet-Hand Touch and One-Tap Water Ejection and Dust Removal, helping users continue using the device even during heavy rain or after accidental exposure to water.
Wet-Hand Touch keeps the display responsive
Rain, sweat, and water droplets can make smartphone screens difficult to use, particularly while commuting or spending time outdoors.
The vivo Y31d addresses this with its Wet-Hand Touch feature, which allows the display to recognize touch input even when the user’s fingers or the screen are wet. This helps users continue everyday tasks such as reading messages, using navigation apps, booking ride-hailing services, answering calls, and browsing the web without frequent interruptions.
According to vivo, the feature is designed to minimize disruptions caused by damp conditions, reducing the need to wipe the screen before every interaction.
IP68 and IP69 ratings provide added protection
The vivo Y31d carries both IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings.
According to vivo, the device is designed to withstand rain, accidental splashes, dust ingress, high-pressure water jets, and freshwater submersion at depths of up to 1.5 meters for as long as 30 minutes.
While these certifications provide added protection during everyday use, vivo advises users to avoid prolonged exposure to water or intentionally submerging the smartphone beyond its certified limits.
Built-in maintenance tools help remove water and dust
In addition to its durability, the vivo Y31d includes One-Tap Water Ejection and Dust Removal.
The feature uses calibrated vibrations to help expel residual water and dust from the speaker and charging port after exposure to moisture or debris. This can help maintain speaker clarity and charging performance after using the phone in wet environments.
vivo Y31d price and availability in the Philippines
The vivo Y31d is available in Glow White and Starlight Grey, with prices starting at ₱12,999.
The smartphone comes in configurations of up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage and is available through the vivo e-store, Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, and authorized vivo retail stores nationwide.
As weather conditions become more unpredictable during the rainy season, smartphones with enhanced durability features are becoming increasingly relevant for users who need reliable access to communication and digital services wherever they go.
