The Oppo F27 Pro+ is finally confirmed to arrive in India on June 13, 2024.
The brand announces some interesting information about the durability of the phone and how the model will stay strong against environmental factors.
The Oppo F27 Pro+ boasts of a world-first smartphone with three Ingress Protection (IP) certifications.
What does that mean though?
The International Electrotechnical Commission offers an IP rating, which is a standardized code that indicates how well an electronic device can resist dust, dirt, and liquids.
Let’s see what that could entail for the Oppo F27 Pro+.
What Is an IP Rating?
Most smartphones commonly have an IP68 rating, which makes them safe from dust and submersion in water at a depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes.
However, the durability factor with the Oppo F27 Pro+ combination of ratings has gone a notch higher, with the device being certified as IP66, IP68, and IP69.
An IP66 rating indicates the highest level of dust protection and regular water jets, such as those from the rain or a shower.
The IP68 rating, as stated earlier, only protects from water immersion to a certain depth and for a certain duration.
The IP69 rating is the highest rating for dust and water, protecting from high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, usually used in industry.
Although it may sound confusing that there exist three different IP ratings, it is generally understood that the IP ratings are a hierarchy.
This implies that if a device has a higher IP rating, it automatically qualifies for the conditions of lower IP ratings.
For instance, an IP69-rated device should automatically have the resistance quality of IP68 and IP66 ratings.
What Does it Mean for the F27 Pro+
Alongside those impressive IP ratings, the Oppo F27 Pro+ is also being certified for other durability standards.
It comes with SWISS SGS Premium Performance 5 Stars Drop Resistance certification, which ensures the chassis and screen can take accidental drops.
The device also holds the MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification, which ensures protection from harsh environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, vibration, shocks, and humidity.
The Oppo F27 Pro+ will feature Gorilla Glass Victus 2 by Corning for the screen for protection against scratches and daily wear and tear.
From the design point of view, Oppo does not hold back on durability.
The F27 Pro+ will have a leather back with a siloxane coating, which is stain-resistant—a welcome add-on to a device that is looking to last.
Is this the most durable and weather-proof phone from Oppo?
The company claims to position the F27 Pro+ as a smartphone that can withstand various environmental challenges, making it an attractive option for consumers, especially during the upcoming monsoon season in India.
Even so, we would be remiss to say that perhaps it would not be the best of ideas to use your phone without any adding a case to it.
