ROG 2 - Is there any safety regarding water splash

[RAIDEN_]

So considering the big vent on the backside of Rog 2 , will the device survive if the water gets inside through the vent ? Is there any safe mechanism Asus did to prevent such ?

ROG 2 - Is there any safety regarding water splash

No, it won't survive. You can see the teardown video from JerryRigsEverything

We do not recommend using ROG Phone II during a water fight. It would probably survive some minor splash but there's no guarantee. Minor rain shouldn't be a problem but if the water indicators inside are colored when we open it up, then the warranty is voided.

With the vent in the back being open to the internals, what level of ambient humidity would become "unsafe" (either for the water indicators, or the phone itself)...?

[Anders_ASUS]

Humidity will always find its way in regardless unless the phone has a high IP rating like IP67. It's more a question of how long it's exposed to extreme humidity. I do not have any numbers on what it can and cannot handle. What I also do not have is a lot of users in this forum that has managed to damage their phone due to humidity. As long as you care about your phone, it will be safe.
