It is the first digit in these IP ratings that is relevant to us, with 6 being the highest possible score for protection from dust, dirt and sand. If that's not enough, these phones are water-resistant too. So if you're looking for sturdy, rugged mobiles, check out this list of the best dust resistant phones in India.
