Today we finally received official confirmation from OnePlus that the OnePlus 11 is rated IP64 for dust and splash resistance in all markets where it is offered.
As defined by the IP Code, this means that the phone is “dustproof” and completely prevents dust particles from entering. It is also resistant to water splashes from all directions.However, it’s less water resistant than what many of its competitors offer – it’s not uncommon to see phones protected immersion Not just splashes. Even if it costs less than the OnePlus 11, considering Samsung’s Galaxy A series handsets.
If you’re wondering why I’m writing an entire article about this, it’s because there was a lot of confusion yesterday on the subject of IP ratings. It looks like you received information about IP ratings earlier. But many other media companies based elsewhere have not.
I didn’t think much of it at first because it’s not at all uncommon for Chinese smartphones to have no IP rating, but when all the retailers sent OnePlus 11 weeks ago published their reviews, the launch event was over After that, it became clear that some people were told about the IP64 rating and some were not. We immediately reached out to OnePlus for comment, but have not received a response to date.
It was not unheard of for valuations to apply only to models in specific markets, such as the United States or across North America. have Also, if certain markets are more sensitive to such specific features than others, even if in theory they could all withstand the same amount, all units sold everywhere It may not make financial sense to do IP testing against it. Dust and water are thrown at them.
Unfortunately, no, if you buy the OnePlus 11 from wherever you get it, it will be IP64 rated. If you’re curious about the OnePlus 11, check out our in-depth review.
