This company, CARD, has been my favorite booth since last CommunicAsia<\/a>. This year, without fail, it has shown some innovative products that are very affordable. Check out its latest CM1-AQUA card phone. It is super slim, light and yet water resistant.<\/p>\n

It has an IP68 rating that means it can be submerged into less than 2m deep water for less than 30 minutes. According to the CARD people, they have actually tested much longer time without issue. Here are some views of the phone.<\/p>\n

Close up of the back view. As you can see, it is translucent. When I dipped it into the water, the internal is actually wet. I am not sure how they protected the circuitry from water, it is still working fine.<\/p>\n

The phone itself is heavy and will sink to the bottom when you put it inside the water. However, the maker has made a “float” like a cover to prevent it from sinking.<\/p>\n

Here is a video to show you how it is done.<\/p>\n
