More than 82 millions phones are damaged each year after being dropped down the toilet, into swimming pools or lost at the beach.

每年都有超过8200万部手机因为掉进厕所、泳池或在海滩上丢失而损坏。

A number of waterproof handsets have been released to solve this problem, but Comet takes it to the next level.

Not only is the Android handset IPx7 water-resistant, it has been designed to float meaning owners don't have to fish it out from the bottom of the sea, or stick their hand into a toilet basin.

Comet was designed by California-based Prashanth Raj Urs who has launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund production of the device.

Comet has a 4.7-inch screen, 16MP camera and runs Android. It additionally has LED notification lights, similar to those on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.

Other features include 4GB of RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, 2GHZ octa-core Processor and a 2800 mAh battery said to last a 'full day of work, party and excitement.'

While a 'mood recogniser' uses biometric sensors to detect a person's body temperature to gauge how happy they are.

The LED lights will then display different colours to suit these different moods.

Comet additionally features an encryption tool called Qlock.
