OnePlus 7, OnePlus 7 Pro won’t have IP rating for water and dust resistance, company confirms

OnePlus released a teaser video for its upcoming flagship device that shows a OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 7 Pro falling into a bucket of water. The video also says in fine print that “Waterproof ratings for phones cost you money. We bought something less expensive instead.” The promo text for the video on Twitter reads, “We just bought a bucket.”

The company highlights that OnePlus 7 does not have an IP rating but still, it can be dropped in a bucket filled with water. But OnePlus co-founder Carl Pie does not want you to drop your phone in a water bucket. The phone does not cover water damage. The teaser video, instead of boasting about a feature OnePlus 7 series smartphones have, highlights a feature it does not have.
