July marks the peak of the rainy season and tropical cyclone activity in the Philippines. With frequent downpours and sudden flooding, having a durable, reliable smartphone isn’t just a luxury—it’s an essential tool for emergency updates, navigation, and staying connected.

Exposure to heavy rain and moisture often ruins touchscreens and damages internal hardware. To tackle these exact challenges, vivo has introduced the vivo Y31d, a budget-friendly smartphone packed with premium water protection features.

Here is how the vivo Y31d is built to survive the unpredictable Philippine weather.

Top Weather-Proof Features of the vivo Y31d

1. Advanced IP68 and IP69 Water Resistance

Most mid-range phones offer basic splash resistance, but the vivo Y31d steps it up with IP68 and IP69 dual ratings. This means the phone is fully protected against dust ingress, high-pressure water jets, and can even survive being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. Whether you are commuting in a downpour or caught in a flash flood, your device is built to endure.

2. Wet-Hand Touch Technology

We’ve all experienced the frustration of a glitchy touchscreen when it gets wet. The vivo Y31d features Wet-Hand Touch, allowing the screen to accurately recognize swipes and taps even if your hands or the display are covered in raindrops, sweat, or splashes. This ensures uninterrupted access to ride-hailing apps, maps, and messaging when you need them most.

3. One-Tap Water Ejection and Dust Removal

Water getting trapped in the speakers or charging port can degrade audio quality and halt charging. The vivo Y31d solves this with a built-in One-Tap Water Ejection feature. By utilizing finely calibrated audio vibrations, the phone actively forces residual moisture and debris out of the ports, preserving long-term performance.
