In Splash proof test, we will test the device to withstand an accidental water splash to see whether the device survives in such condition. Since there is no official information on IP68 ratings about the Huawei Honor Play device, so it might not pass our splashproof test.

Huawei Honor Play Rainwater test
In this test, we are going to suspend the device in artificial rain environment. This also mimics the showering conditions as well. Later on, we will see if the device withstands these conditions or not.
After testing Huawei Honor Play in artificial rain conditions, we observed that the device is capable of performing well. Since the device touchscreen stops responding to touches underwater, users can not make or receive calls. But hardware is fully functional at this point.
