You can watch these videos that i found, the first youtuber actually tried that on the Poco F1, he put the device on a bowl full of water for a minute approximately and it survived, however, the device has no actual water/dust protection on any port/slot as seen on the second video, so, everything is confuse.

Like how JerryRig say, the phone is NOT WATER RESISTANT at all. It was advertised as Splash proof due to whatever coding it has.
That means it can resist to some spashed and maybe during rain conditions?
The article is pretty much fake. It does not provide nothing but just words. I never seen a non water resistant device resisit a washtest, as water gets in the device.

It is water resistant or something along those lines

It is supposed to have a similar costing as to Motorola phones. It is good to know but definitely not something I want to purposely try out

As for now, there is no official IP Rating posted by Xiaomi
It is confirmed that it is Splash proof, not waterproof

Problem is, water might not instantly kill the device, but components could slowly oxidize and kill the device down the road. Like that guy that put the phone underwater for a minute, it still works fine, but I'm sure some components oxidized and shortened the lifespan of the device.
