Why is the touch sensitivity of the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G screen reduced when there is water on its surface?

The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G is designed with a capacitive touch screen that is responsive to touch and supports wet touch technology. This means that the phone can stay connected without interruption and enjoy smooth scrolling even when the hands are slightly wet.
However, capacitive touchscreens are influenced by conductors, and water is one of the most common conductors. If there is too much water on your fingers or water droplets covering the screen, it can affect the touch screen's capacitive sensing capabilities. This is a normal phenomenon, and it is recommended to wipe the screen before use.
Certain screen protectors, especially thicker ones or some third-party protective films, can reduce the responsiveness of touch control, particularly when your hands are wet.
