Once you have given your Android device enough time to dry out, it’s important to examine it closely. Check if it appears completely dry before proceeding. If it looks dry, you can reinsert the components (if you removed them) and attempt to turn it on. If you acted quickly and followed the correct steps, your phone should hopefully work without any issues. However, it is important to keep an eye on its functions in the following days. Test the primary components such as the microphone and speaker to ensure they are working properly.

If your Android device does not turn on even after drying, it is most likely damaged beyond repair. In this case, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer of your phone to discuss repair or replacement options. If you have insurance that covers water damage, you may be eligible to receive a new device at no additional cost. However, if you do not have insurance, you will have to bear the expenses for repairs or a replacement device.

If you were able to save your SIM card, you can insert it into a new phone to retrieve most of your old data. However, if you were not able to save it, it is important to have a backup of your data stored on the cloud, if possible.
