Someone accidentally tried drowning the OnePlus 13, and it didn't flinch


This man's narrative pretty much says it all—the OnePlus 13 is way tougher than expected.

A Reddit user’s story of the OnePlus 13 surviving 4.5 hours underwater shows the phone may be even more durable than its ratings suggest. With top-tier IP ratings for both dust and water resistance, the OnePlus 13 goes a step beyond the usual IP68 crowd, outclassing the leading Android phones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro. While a few Oppo models in select regions have quietly sported it, the OnePlus 13 is the first phone with IP69 protection to officially hit Western markets.
