Today we learned that OnePlus did not want to take advantage of the 6 GB of RAM that the OnePlus 3 has because if it were like that it would make a excessive consumption battery. To offer a better user experience, it has decided to "layer" it from the software, although it has published the files so that users can create custom ROMs to make use of all RAM.
Now we have another explanation from another manufacturer so that we understand why a Xiaomi phone not waterproof. It is the founder of the company himself, Lin Hun, who gives a sufficiently understandable reason for us not to criticize in a banal way the non-integration of this certification, and it is mainly due to the fact that it is a rather expensive and inefficient process.
The cost of adding water resistance I would raise the final price to 20 or 30% more for this characteristic. This would take away that Xiaomi watchword of offering terminals at a well-adjusted price and that has allowed it to stand out from other manufacturers.
Another reason for what Jun says is inefficient, since any blow received could cause the waterproofing to be lost. So that efficiency that is expected in a terminal with this type of certification, which we have seen in the Galaxy S7 or the Xperia Z, it is not so much and in this way it also prevents the user experience from worsening for your future customers.
So we can forget about having a Xiaomi smartphone with that certification that we do see on other phones like those mentioned. We already saw at the time how certain Sony terminals received a lot of criticism for a supposed impermeability That was not the case in the end, apart from what it means to repair all those terminals and that it entails excessive costs to be able to return the customer's phone to its normal state.
