IP68
An IP68 rating means that a phone is dust tight and can be submerged in water for extended periods of time without damage. This rating is determined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which is an independent organization that sets standards for electrical and electronic technologies. The "6" in the IP68 rating indicates that the phone is completely dust tight, while the "8" indicates that it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters without any damage.
Camera
The A8 SE 2GB 16GB has a 13 megapixel camera, it means that the camera is capable of capturing detailed images without the added cost and complexity of a higher megapixel count. This can be useful if you want to take high-resolution photos that you can zoom in on or crop without losing too much detail, but you don't need the very highest level of image quality. In general, having this amount of megapixels can provide a good balance of image quality and affordability. You can also use the 2 megapixel selfie camera for video calling, for example.
