OnePlus 13 durability feature

According to an Android Authority report, OnePlus confirmed that the global variant of the OnePlus 13 will come with IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance. These two ratings are two different certifications that ensure that the smartphone can be submerged in water up to a certain level, whereas, the IP69 ensures that the OnePlus 13 can withstand high-pressure jets of water. These showcase a significant upgrade over last year's OnePlus 12 which was launched with an IP65 rating. The IP rating certification is quite necessary and it has left several flagship phones such as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and others behind.
