OnePlus 13 to feature IP69 rating
- The latest details come from Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station who's talking about a flagship phone due to launch by the end of this year. The phone in question is believed to be the OnePlus 13.
- Here, the tipster says the OnePlus 13 will come with an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, which is the highest rating for water and dust resistance on a smartphone.
- With IP68, the phone can be submerged in water up to 3m for around 30 minutes. IP69 gives more protection by withstanding high-pressure and high-temperature water jets.
- Even IP68 would be an upgrade as the OnePlus 12 has an IP65 rating but IP69 would be the best here.
At present, only the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G (OPPO A3 Pro in China) comes with an IP69 rating. We found the phone quite durable in our tests, which we explained in our review. Considering OnePlus uses OPPO's resources we might just see an IP69 rating on the OnePlus 13.
