1. Neither Xiaomi nor Poco have included or stated that the Poco M3 is waterproof.
2. To be considered water and dust resistant, a smartphone must have a special certification in the form of IP67 or IP68 Waterproof / Water Resistant.
3. Poco M3 does not support both certifications. This means that this phone cannot be said to be water-resistant and dust-resistant.
