Few days back we saw a guy posted video on Youtube where he dropped his One Plus One in water for few seconds and concluded that One Plus One is waterproof out of the box. Most of the people believed the video without investigating into the matter.
This caused curiosity among a number of people and to know the ground facts, Android Police contacted One Plus One to find out if the phone is waterproof out of the box. The authorities from One Plus One told that Phone is not at all waterproof hence one should avoid doing waterproof tests as it will only hamper the beautiful device.
To set the records staright, every phone can bear a light drizzle or undergo water few seconds. In past, we have seen videos where Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5 were places under water few seconds and still they managed to work perfectly fine. Actually, every phone can bear few seconds in water but when the time extends to few minutes most of the phones break down. Only out of the box waterproof phones with proper waterproof certification can withstand extended time under the water.
It is good to see that phone like One Plus One can withstand few seconds under the water and it is even better that we now know that the phone is not waterproof. So, avoid doing waterproof tests on your beautiful One Plus One as you might end up hampering your own device.
