This day is very special with friends and family, but water and colors can become a threat to your smartphone and other gadgets. In such a situation, it is important that you keep your phone close &#8211; so that it can be useful in emergency and can also capture beautiful moments &#8211; but at the same time take full care of its safety.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some easy and effective ways, through which you will be able to enjoy Holi 2026 and also keep your gadgets safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use a waterproof bag or case<br \/><\/strong>Waterproof pouches and cases available in the market are the safest option. These are transparent covers, in which you can place the phone, receive calls and also click photos. These can be hung around the neck or kept in the pocket. Being available in different sizes, they fit in almost every phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give up expensive phone, adopt old phone<\/strong><br \/>If you have a premium or expensive smartphone, it is better to keep it safe at home while playing Holi. Use an old or spare phone instead. This will reduce the risk of loss. Also, avoid using expensive earbuds or headphones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choose gadgets with IP68 rating<\/strong><br \/>Nowadays many smartphones come with IP68 rating, which provides some degree of protection from water splashes. The good thing is that such phones are available even for less than \u20b9 35,000. However, one should avoid immersing them completely in water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>avoid hair dryer<\/strong><br \/>If the phone accidentally gets wet, do not use a hair dryer to dry it. This may damage the internal parts. Switch off the phone immediately, wipe it with a dry cloth and keep it in rice for a few hours. With these easy tips, you can enjoy Holi 2026 without any worries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atawrap\">\n<h2 class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atahead\">About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899\">\n<div style=\"min-height:52px;margin:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" alt=\"authoring\" title=\"authoring\" width=\"52\" height=\"52\" class=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.news18.com\/byline\/afreen-277.html\" class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atamail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Afreen Afaq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Afreen Afaq has started her career with Network 18 as a Tech Journalist, and has more than six years experience in &#8216;Mobile-Technology&#8217; beat.
