Li Weixing discovers a new way to dry a wet phone

The Chief Executive Officer Xiaomi Internet, Li Weixing, recently discovered a new way to dry a wet one My 9, who had accidentally fallen into the water.

ΈA generally proven way to save a phone that fell into the water is to turn off the phone and remove the battery immediately, and then keep the phone in a jar full of rice for at least 24 hours.

The heat generated by the rice grains in the jar dries the wet phone and in most cases the phone starts working again.

The general manager of Xiaomi Internet, In Weixing, recently discovered a new way to dry a wet one My 9, who had accidentally fallen into the water.

According to Weibo, Weixing, after his Mi 9 fell into the water by accident, and as it was not possible to solve the rice as he was away from home, he continued to use the phone at work, but touch screen sensor did not respond.

So he put the phone under the sun and let it play loud music at the same time. Apparently, the vibration of the speaker created the proper airflow between the inside and outside of the phone to dry, and before sunset the phone was working well again.

Xiaomi Smartphones do not have an IP rating to indicate that they are waterproof, but are made with features that help protect them from other hazards. The Mi 9 is no exception, as it comes packed with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the back and Glass 6 on the front. Gorilla glass offers waterproofing, and adds some level of water resistance, but of course you should avoid this if you do not want to end up with a damaged device.
