Key takeaways
- A user on Reddit shared a tale of the OnePlus 13 enduring 4.5 hours submerged, indicating the device might be even more robust than its ratings imply.
- Despite the OnePlus 13 having elite IP68/IP69 certification, this unintentional river test elevates its durability reputation even higher.
- IP68 allows for immersion for up to 30 minutes, while IP69 enhances resistance against hot, high-pressure water. The OnePlus 13 seems to withstand much more than that.
Even though OnePlus has given the OnePlus 13 an IP68/IP69 classification, practical trials are clearly exceeding these benchmarks. Someone inadvertently submerged it in a river for much longer than it is rated for, yet it emerged unscathed.
A new post on Reddit narrates an incredible incident regarding the OnePlus 13’s water resistance being tested beyond its limits. Following a kayaking incident during a camping trip, a child unintentionally left the device submerged in a river for roughly 4.5 hours. Remarkably, when the father retrieved it, it was still operational.
