In a groundbreaking move for the Indian smartphone market, Oppo is set to launch the F27 Pro+ on June 13, marking the introduction of the first IP69-rated smartphone in the country. While the industry has seen a prevalence of IP68 ratings in high-end flagship devices, the Oppo F27 Pro+ sets a new standard with its superior ingress protection capabilities.

The IP69 rating, a step above the IP68 commonly found in premium smartphones, signifies the highest level of protection against dust and water ingress currently available. This rating ensures the device can endure higher pressure and lower temperatures for prolonged durations, providing unmatched resilience against water and dust penetration.
As detailed on Oppo China's official website, the Oppo F27 Pro+ (essentially a rebranded Oppo A13 Pro) is engineered to survive submersion in water for up to 30 minutes without compromising functionality. Besides its IP69 certification, the device also boasts IP68 and IP66 ratings, underscoring its robust defense against environmental hazards.
One notable aspect of the IP69 rating is its applicability to fresh water; other liquids such as soda, alcohol, or seawater may still pose risks. To achieve this high level of protection, Oppo has meticulously redesigned the F27 Pro+ from the inside out. Key features include the use of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for enhanced display protection and an innovative waterproof dam that guards against water ingress even under extreme conditions.
Commercials for the F27 Pro+ have demonstrated its remarkable durability, including scenarios where the phone withstands hot water and even a washing machine cycle, highlighting its resilience. The IP69 rating assures users that the device can endure harsh environments without succumbing to liquid or dust damage. However, potential buyers should note that damage to the device may not be covered under warranty.
The launch of the Oppo F27 Pro+ on June 13 will undoubtedly set a new benchmark for smartphone durability in India, offering users peace of mind and reliability in even the most challenging conditions.
