Is OnePlus 10R 5G Waterproof Device
So, the question arises, does this new flagship really on par to be called a flagship killer? The short answer is NO. OnePlus 10R 5G device has NO protection from dust and water combined. It has no IP waterproof rating. If you are planning to buy this device, please look at the pros and cons of the device too.
Note
Since OnePlus 10R 5G is not officially a waterproof smartphone, you can’t really use it near water bodies as there will always be a risk of liquid damage. If you wish to clean your phone, then you can by using a soft cloth as well as some drips of water and nothing else. You can also some cleaning solutions like IPA if you have access to them.
Pros
- Amazing display: This OnePlus device has an amazing fluid AMOLED display.
- Good Cameras: The triple camera setup takes beautiful pictures, as seen in the early review
- Superfast charging: The 150 watts charger does excite us and can save lots of time.
Cons
- No expandable memory: There is no slot for the external memory card.
- No NFC: NFC is not present for the nearby sharing.
- Lacks IP rating: There is no ingress protection (IP) rating / waterproof rating for the device which can lead to water damage.
Although I have seen many people test their phones using water by washing or rinsing them in the water faucet. Even some people wash them in a bucket full of water to demonstrate the waterproof capability of the phone. But that’s doesn’t mean the smartphone is fully waterproof. We recommend users NOT to try such stunts as it will ultimately harm your device beyond repairs.
