When it comes to waterproofing, the company says that the device is splashproof. However, there are no official waterproof ratings for the device. So we need to test it ourselves with the OnePlus 7T waterproof test.

OnePlus 7T waterproof and dustproof Test

Since we don’t have any official IP ratings for the device, it’s not safe to assume its waterproofing capabilities. So we need to perform a OnePlus 7T waterproof and dustproof test. Since the official sources say that OnePlus is splash resistant, we don’t need to do any splashproof test here.

This test will only give an idea of whether a device is waterproof or not. We recommend users not to try this test at home, as it might damage your device.

OnePlus 7T Waterproof Test

In this waterproof test, we are going to put the device in a small tub full of water for 1 minute. This test will give us a rough idea of whether the new OnePlus 7T is splashproof or not.

Camera	works
Screen	Works
Speaker	Distortion in sound

After conducting this test, we can say that this phone is not fully waterproof. The speaker’s sound was muffled up and the touchscreen was unresponsive. Users must take proper care of this device when near any water bodies such as pool, pond, lake, etc.

OnePlus 7T Dustproof Test

In our dustproof test, we will keep the device in a sandy environment with lots of grain and sand particles with a running fan around it. This situation mimics dust storms and will check how the device holds in such conditions.

Camera	Works
Headphone jack	works
I/O ports	Little dust, but ports still work fine

As you can see from the test results above that the new OnePlus 7T is fully dustproof. There is no compromisation in any of the functionality due to dust particles in the test. Since the device doesn’t have any headphone jack or any other such jacks, it’s non-vulnerable to dust particles.
