Video A Japanese Company Has Invented a Smartphone You Can Wash Nextgov com

If you’ve ever wanted to give your smartphone a good scrub with soap and water, then you’re in luck: A Japanese company has invented a smartphone that can be thoroughly washed.

Kyocera said it created the device, called Digno Rafre, by developing “better sealing” for the phone. It will go on sale in Japan next week for ¥57,000 ($460), but there are currently no plans to sell the phone elsewhere.
