But even Samsung and Apple have warranty disclaimers that if the phone is water damaged it will not be covered by warranty. So why the need for an IP rating and the need for such? Pay extra money for an IP rating just to be out of a phone that has water damage because it went for a swim however brief or long. I understand it is Linus's Blanket to have and IP rating but no warranty covering the IP is lazy. That means they paid for a rating that they are not willing to stand behind. At least with my Moose Lights if they fail because of water, I can send them back for new ones under warranty.

"That is not a good phone" is objectively false. Fair point about the micro SD card. Also, not in the OP's requirements, so irrelevant.That is not a good phone. No microsd for starters...
Not really. Not the only complaint, it also does not have a great battery nor great battery life. The Pixel 3a XL would be a MUCH better phone because of the larger battery(22%) if not for the lack of microsd."That is not a good phone" is objectively false. Fair point about the micro SD card.

Rubbish. One of my employee's has one and the thing barely gets him through lunchtime.Pixel 3a's battery lasts longer than a day of full use.
No, but just because it wasn't stated doesn't mean it's not worthy of serious consideration.the OP didn't mention abnormally large battery as a requirement.
See above. And both Blackberry models are water resistant. Hell even the Priv was water resistant. No phone is water "proof", I don't care what the certifications say..And once again, the OP did not mention a concern for an SD card slot.
No, I'm recommending good phones with good to great specs & features at a reasonable price point that meet the one major requirement the OP stated, Qualcomm SOC. @remixedcat didn't state that it had to be the fastest SOC made, just has to be Qualcomm. Condition met. As for the rest of the mentioned desired features, the Evolve X has wireless charging, is unlocked and can be rooted.You're more worried about hawking your favorite phone than the subject of the thread.

1. Anecdotal. Tell your employee to stop installing crapware games with popup ads that drain the battery. Everyone else in the world so far disagrees with you.Rubbish. One of my employee's has one and the thing barely gets him through lunchtime.

No they don't. Scripts do. Use AdBlocker and NoScript and surf like there's no tomorrow. You can even let AdBlock's unobtrusive ads on.Ads drain battery baaad. I need more than just browser blocking
Yeah, cause that's what going on. While you're at it, can I get tomorrows Power-Ball numbers from you?1. Anecdotal. Tell your employee to stop installing crapware games with popup ads that drain the battery. Everyone else in the world so far disagrees with you.
What was that a response to? TPU's reply system is excellent, learn how to use it.2. True, but you can't have everything in a $400 package.
There's your "Anecdotal" statement. Performance is relative. However, while the Snapdragon 636 might be a bit on the mid-range side, the 660 and 675 both are easily in the upper tier range. None of them will have any issues running today's range of apps & features and all of them are energy efficient.They're also slow as hell by comparison.
Your opinion, and not a very good one. If the OP works in or will use the device in an environment which is subject to frequent water exposure, water resistance is an important feature which can not be understated.But my opinion stands: it's ridiculous to sacrifice speed for water resistance.
