At the presentation of OnePlus 6 we were clearly told that the new flagships killer is protected from splashing. However, there is no information about IP67 / IP68 standard. Moreover, 3.5mm audio jack says that it is NOT waterproof. Yes, today some manufacturers learned how to combine open audio jack and waterproof protection.
From other side OnePlus company does not confirm waterproof protection in new smartphone. So, does OnePlus 6 have IP68 waterproof protection or not? Let’s find out.
Some YouTubers have already tested OnePlus 6 for water resistance and new phone successfully passed the tests. Some pople even completely disassemble the smartphone to find out what is inside it.
So, we know that every detail and internal component, which has the slightest risk of penetrating moisture inside, is rubberized. Also, it is protected by a special coating and glued along the perimeter with special waterproof substrates.
So, the conclusion is following: OnePlus 6 has protection against water according to IP68 standard.
OnePlus 6 Waterproof Test Video
You can watch the video above how OnePlus was immersed intro the water. Of course, it is only a laboratory test, and we don’t know how it will behave on a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Anyway, this test shows that you can wash under water, take a shower and stuff.
WARNING: please, note, the manufacturer didn’t confirm waterproof protection, and there is no guarantee that your phone will be alive after diving into the water. Therefore, all responsibility on the user.
Also, over time, special impregnations and elastic bands inside the body have the property of cracking and deforming. It depends on the conditions of use, the surrounding humidity, falls and a million more factors. Even with the officially declared IP68 protection, it does not guarantee the safety of your smartphone. Especially, when you are already using your phone for several months.
