Fans around the world have been waiting for the OnePlus 13 more early since it debuted in China months ago. Finally, we have the global launch event scheduled for January 7 and OnePlus seems to be all geared up. Since the China launch most of the details about the phones have already been out in the open but the brand has finally confirmed an important detail. It is about the OnePlus 13 and IP68/IP69 water resistance ratings. Here’s what we know.

OnePlus 13 – Water Resistance Confirmation

OnePlus has always built phones with strong water resistance but didn’t always have formal IP certification in the past. This has made things confusing for many over the years. Moreover, the company sold some phones without an IP rating in certain markets but had one when sold through carriers elsewhere.

The company is finally changing its approach with the OnePlus 13.

The company has confirmed to Android Authority that every model of the OnePlus 13 will come with IP68/IP69 certification regardless of the market or sales channel.

Apart from the official confirmation of water resistance specs, recent rumours now also suggest that the company is bringing a special India edition of the OnePlus 13.

Earlier reports indicated that the phone would be available in two configurations:

• 12GB RAM + 256GB storage
• 16GB RAM + 512GB storage

Now, reliable tipster Yogesh Brar on X (formerly Twitter) has revealed that OnePlus plans to launch a 24GB RAM + 1TB storage variant exclusively for India.
