No one knows for sure... But tbh it would be ridiculous now to not include waterproofing in a flagship phone, so they must've done it.

I also thought it isn´t waterproof but then I read a (german) test about the OP5 and they wrote: (Translated, Original article is german, source https://www.androidpit.de/oneplus-5-test) "OnePlus Cradles Some OnePlus-5 devices on the production line in a water bath. This must be 20 seconds. There is therefore no IP certification, but the onePlus 5 should therefore be well protected against penetrating water.". That means your phone should survive little water accidents =)

This is true. You can't go swimming with your phone, but it can survive a pickle it a toilet drop.

i think it had some IP grade protection..
But they don't want to spend on obtain the certification (it cost very much).
I've see already video on youtube doing bend test, waiting the waterproof test...

Right, I looked at the tests on Youtube for OP3T, seems like at least waterproof to a certain extent... keeping my fingers crossed for OP5!

Translate from this french site : Why is the OnePlus 5 not officially waterproof?

Many were disappointed to learn that OnePlus 5 was not IP67 certified for water resistance ... but is this really the case? The French branch of the manufacturer tells us rather that the phone is built to resist immersion, but that the phone simply has not passed the tests to claim it.

Oneplus 5 test autonomy
Summer is now on us, and the wave of heat wave that accompanies its arrival is also synonymous with lull in the middle of the smartphones. Except that some manufacturers take advantage to quietly announce their smartphones without competitors to annoy them.

This is the case of the Chinese manufacturer OnePlus that did not cool (ohohoh) anyone last night unveiling its new OnePlus 5 , a phone still advancing the best technical data of the market for a much more reasonable price. But some detail is missing for some buyers.

Would the OnePlus 5 eventually be waterproof?
Many of you expressed that the phone, despite its higher price this year, was not a watertight minimum. That's why we turned to the French branch of OnePlus to better understand the situation.

A few days before the official announcement of the OnePlus 5, we met a brand executive who gave us details about this OnePlus 5. When we discovered the complete datasheet, we realized that the IP67 standard was not Appointments . The OnePlus 5 is therefore not officially waterproof.

So we asked the OnePlus framework about this. He then explained to us that technically the OnePlus 5 had all the criteria to display the IP67 certification . But the time taken to have the smartphone certified would have caused a delay in the release date. OnePlus wants to keep the same pace of renewal, so the company decided not to have OnePlus certified.

You have certainly understood, the phone is not officially IP67 certified, but is built in such a way to be in fact. In addition to the delays, the manufacturer has also made this choice to avoid the problems of VAS related to the incomprehension surrounding this certification.

To put it simply, some users think that the IP67 standard certifies a tightness to any liquid, which is not the case. An IP67 certified smartphone is waterproof only in fresh water and at a certain level of water pressure. OnePlus therefore preferred to focus on customer satisfaction and good relations with its community rather than take the risk of dealing with disputes arising from misunderstanding.

The OnePlus 5 will withstand a glass of water spilled on it. While avoiding the classic problems associated with this certification: no, the phone is not able to withstand sea water or a dive in a pool. And he does not drink alcohol or soda.

So thanks OnePlus France for this news, i will can play with my OP5 in my W.C
