According to Giz China, the Homtom HT20 has an impressive IP68 certification. This means that the smartphone is resistant to dust, water, and humidity. With the HT20, Homtom decided to ditch the rubber materials that it usually uses for most of its rugged phone designs. Instead, the HT20 is constructed using a new vacuum technology, essentially making the phone sealed inside a case with a study and compact chassis. With this unique body design and IP68 certification, Homtom claims that the HT20's camera is capable of taking decent underwater photos.

The Homtom HT20 is also made from military grade materials making the smartphone fall resistant. The metal alloy used on the phones chassis has an impressive high density score and falls into the same category as those materials used in aviation.
