Oneplus 7 Pro - Waterproof ?

[jgoedhard]

In one of OnePlus's ads they show the phone going into a bucket of water to do their IP rating instead of getting the phone certified. And that's it for the bucket ad. They didn't show the end results if the phone still works or has water damage. Will the phone survive the bucket 9f water?

I saw a couple of youtube videos where they reviewed the device while it was submerged in water.


My guess is, you can take it out on a rainy day and it will survive but don't count on it.

OP elected not to get the phone IP certified in order to save money and production time. The phone can be submerged, but that doesn't mean it's a underwater camera. If you drop it in a puddle or the toilet you'll be fine, but don't do it on purpose.

Well as i see it if could take protection from example dropping on a table a glass of water or a walking on raining weather condition(for those don't have an umbrella) or taking it with wet hands it will cover most people.

That's kind of protection most of us wants after all.

And 7 Pro will deliver that kind of protection.

An IP rating does not mean your phone is covered by warranty for water damage, so the IP rating is for nothing but peace of mind. I have peace of mind knowing I'm never going to throw this thing in a bucket of water, but if it accidentally gets wet it'll be fine.

I've dropped all 3 of my previous OnePlus phones in sinks fill of water, and in the toilet without any permanent damage. All of them continued working fine and still do work fine. My previous OnePlus phones were the 3T, 5T, and 6T. If they could sustain multiple submerging's in water then this one will be fine too.

Willing to pay $100 for each of these features? I wouldn't. Also, S10+ doesn't have 90Hz

I accidentally took my 6T for a swim...after being in the pool for 5 minutes, a wave of panic washed over me as realized I had forgotten to take it out of the shoulder strap of my bathing suit (I had been taking pictures on the beach in Florida)! I dried it off immediately...no damage!

Not everyone wants all that features.
Only headphones jack was mistake oneplus remove it.

They're welcome as long does not have any further increase oneplus device prices otherwise I prefer not having it at all (wireless charging,official ip rating)

But hey have you seing any kind OEM adding all time new features and maintain the same price or even getting lower ??

I'm not.

20 years with dozens of smartphone never nedded wireless charging neither official ip waterproof.

And if you've asked I'm not either fan of glass made smartphone.

I would prefer solid aluminum construction and I can live without wireless charging.(Thats not actually wireless)

Water resistant, not waterproof. S10+ isn't waterproof and warranty doesn't cover water damage even though its IP68

I have Bose sound links and jabra active pro ear buds for sound. My truck has Sync.
I don't plan on taking under water pool pics with my phone, so saving 10 not having it "rated" is fine. Wireless charging? Seriously? They don't make a QI base that meets warp charging yet. I have absolutely no problem spending 2.8 secs plugging it in. When you design a better piece of trash, let me know, I'll be your first tester.

I don't really care about the device not having an official ip rating because since Sony promoted their phones with underwater video and dealt with a huge amount of returns from water damage it seems no OEM is willing to replace a water damaged device. This is mainly because over time at least one part of the seal is likely going to fail just enough for water to get in. Based on how this phone is designed I bet it could pass IP67 and it's water resistance will endure longer because the Oneplus 7 pro seems designed to avoid the kind of heating up that often causes a seal to fail in the first place.

Welp guys I'm must be the first person with water damage....need pics anyone?....to lazy to pull out my other phone just to take a pic of this 7 pro as I'm typing with it now...anyway I didn't dunk my phone in water I just basically let water run all around it so it might as well be dunking it in there lol...
I usually wash my phone no soap just to get the dirt off of it
What happened to my phone is camera gets fogged up and my power button will not work at all.....

Um, remind me to never let you hold my phone.

I did ruin a phone once by having it fall out of my back pocket and, of course, right into the toilet.

Still, it's good to know you got away with it a bunch of times.

I have a different concern and that is falling off of my boat into the water and being able to make a call. I don't want to carry the waterproof portable radio all the time.

That's very reassuring.

I'd be much more comfortable holding your phone to look at a photo you wanted to show me than the other poster who keeps dropping his phone into the toilet. :laugh:

The IP rating is over rated. The only reason I have this phone is because my water resistant IP certified Pixel 2xl didn't quite survive my visit to the water park last week.

 

[tech_head]

Water resistant is not waterproof.
These phone will survive splash and rain.

Don't expect.to swim with any phone.
I tend to keep electronics away from water.

when that advertisement was its main selling point they had to cover it over warranty or they wouldve been smacked with a case.
