Last time we saw about the waterproof technology from Nokia as their research work, but now its closer to reality. During the Nokia Lumia 610 launch in London, Conor Pierce, Vice President of Nokia Western Europe unveiled the Superhydrophopic technology that makes your phone waterproof.

“The biggest challenge is making nanostructures robust enough to withstand every day wear and tear. You could put a superhydrophobic coating inside a device now because people can’t degrade it, it can’t get knocked around in your pocket. To put it on the outside is much, much tougher. But you want it on the outside because that’s where you see the effects of keeping your phone really clean.”

The Inquirer expects this technology to appear as standard on all future Nokia Pureview and Lumia Windows Phone handsets. Even we would like to have it on our Lumia devices!
