OnePlus 9 Pro has been tipped to feature IP68 dust- and water- resistance rating. The phone is expected to be part of the next flagship series from the Chinese company that may include the vanilla OnePlus 9 and a toned-down OnePlus 9E. Till now, only OnePlus 8 Pro has come with an official IP rating, though some OnePlus phones in the past have had some water resistance measures like with the OnePlus 7 Pro. As of now, OnePlus has not shared any official information on the OnePlus 9 series.
Known tipster Max Jambor (@maxjmb) has OnePlus will add some sort of water resistance to the these phones.
OnePlus first added an official water resistance rating with OnePlus 7 Pro, presumably because it was the first phone from the company with a pop-up selfie camera.
Additionally, the alleged schematics of OnePlus 9 Pro have been shared on Twitter by TechDroider and they show two large sensors on the back.
Earlier this month, renders of OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro had expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC.
Further, OnePlus 9E appears to sit between the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus Nord series. It could come with some toned-down specifications compared to OnePlus 9 and cheaper price tag as well.
