The OnePlus 10 Pro is a capable smartphone with a high-end processor, a vibrant display, and a big battery. But is the OnePlus 10 Pro waterproof? This is a question that's important to ask of any smartphone you're considering buying. No matter who you are, accidents happen. Maybe you get stuck outside in a rainstorm. Perhaps you knock your phone in the sink. You might be at the pool and accidentally jump in the water with your phone in your pocket. Whatever happens, there are plenty of situations where having a waterproof smartphone is essential.

For its part, the OnePlus 10 Pro checks many boxes for its $899 price tag. Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset is one of the fastest mobile processors available in 2022. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display with its 120Hz refresh rate is a joy. The 5000 mAh easily lasts for more than a day per charge and is quickly refueled with 65W charging. Add all of that together with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and Android 12, and you end up with a well-rounded smartphone that's cheaper than competing phones from Samsung and Apple.

Depending on where you buy the phone, the OnePlus 10 Pro may not be waterproof. Of the two versions of the OnePlus 10 Pro available in the U.S., only one of them has an IP68 rating. This is a downgrade over the OnePlus 9 Pro, which had IP68 waterproofing as a standard feature for every model. Likely to save money, OnePlus has decided to scale things
