Looking to bring an end to the watery based deaths of high-end handsets, new reports have suggested that both the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3 and the long mooted Apple iPhone 5 will land boasting Liquipel moisture repelling technology.

Showcased at CES 2012, Liquipel is currently a post-production treatment that can be given to handsets ensuring that when caught in heavy rain or taking an unwanted trip into a puddle or toilet bowl devices remain unscathed and no longer the victim of a watery based demise.

Tipped to add further unique selling points to the next-generation of market dominating smartphones, new reports have suggested that like the waterproofing nano tech currently used on the recently revised Motorola RAZR, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3 and Apple iPhone 5 will combat costly insurance claims with their own water repellent coating.

One of the more understated yet practical features tipped for potential inclusion on Apple’s next-gen smartphone powerhouse, Liquipel waterproofing is tipped to land alongside a completely redesigned form factor with improved camera optics and a potential ARM A6 quad-core processor also on the eagerly awaited handset’s hit list.
