This is confirmed by a video in which the manufacturer sends a novelty into a bucket of water. Accordingly, the model has moisture resistance, but at the same time, the smartphone does not have any degree of IP protection. What is the matter?
OnePlus 7: drowning or not drowning?
Apparently, the manufacturer simply decided to save on certification. However, the model received a water-repellent coating P2i, as well as good insulation buttons with connectors. Unfortunately, there is no information yet to draw a conclusion regarding the quality of protection of the front camera (retractable).
The company’s representatives said: “We are aware that IP rating is the easiest way to confirm the moisture protection of our smartphone, but this will not help bring attention to the device’s operating experience.” Accordingly, with the help of a roller, the manufacturer decided to really prove that the device is not afraid of water.
Finally, I want to add that last year with the OnePlus 6T, a similar situation was seen. A certificate was not assigned to him, but the model easily copes with immersion in water, and many bloggers managed to make sure of this.
