So today, we will conduct Oppo A5 2020 waterproof test to find out whether the new Oppo A5 2020 is waterproof or not.
Smartphone markets are not booming up with new entries every month. Midrange or budget devices are very much in demand so companies are taking care of them by providing affordable yet powerful smartphones. The new Oppo A5 2020 is one such device. However is the new Oppo A5 2020 a waterproof device? Well, today we will find out in our Oppo A5 2020 waterproof test.
Is Oppo A5 2020 waterproof device?
For any smartphone to be waterproof, it must possess certain IP ratings. These IP ratings can tell us whether the new smartphone is waterproof, splashproof or both. Many modern smartphone manufacturers are now including IP67 or IP68 ratings with their devices.
info
An IP rating is an international standard that is used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of modern smartphones. These IP ratings are presented in the form of IP followed by two numbers.
IP68 rating is the best that a smartphone can hold. However, it is important to note that this IP testing is done against freshwater. So you might end with slightly different results against saltwater or other liquids such as soft drinks.
According to the official website of Oppo mobiles, no waterproof IP67 or IP68 waterproof ratings are mentioned for the device. This suggests that the device is officially waterproof. This is expected from such a mid-range smartphone. However it might be splashproof, so we will still proceed with our Oppo A5 2020 waterproof test.
