Why does the Xiaomi Pad Mini experience low sound or noise after being exposed to water?

The Xiaomi Pad Mini is rated IP52 for basic splash resistance, meaning it is not fully waterproof. If water enters the speaker or microphone area, it can cause vibration and distortion, resulting in reduced sound quality or noise during playback or calls. Moisture can also block the microphone openings, reducing sound clarity. Allow the device to dry completely before use, avoiding forced drying methods such as heat.
If the issue persists after the device has dried, don't hesitate to get in touch with the after-sales service center for professional inspection and repair.
