OPPO R15 Pro Water-resistant Feature
The OPPO R15 Pro is a water-resistant phone and is certified IP67 level under the IEC 60529 standard. The first digit after IP is the IEC assigned rating for its resistance to solids. The OPPO R15 Pro rates 6 – which means the handset is resistant to dust or dirt after being in direct contact with the matter. The second digit is the water-resistance rating. The OPPO R15 Pro rates 7, therefore the device can be submerged in up to one meter of fresh water for up to half an hour. Continue reading to learn more about water-resistant and its IP levels.

Water-resistant feature of OPPO R15 Pro
OPPO R15 Pro is a water-resistant phone (from freshwater) and reaches the IP67 level under the IEC 60529 standard. However, the anti-splash, water-resistant, and dust-proof performance is not permanent, it may decline gradually due to daily wear. If your phone has undergone repair, this may not guarantee that the IP67 features will be fully functional as well.
Water-resistant vs. Waterproof
Water-resistant. Designed to not be easily harmed or affected by water or to not allow water to pass through easily.
Waterproof. Impervious to water; especially: covered or treated with a material (such as a solution of rubber) to prevent permeation by water

IEC and IP67 rating
IEC 60529. International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) determines how resistant an electrical device is to fresh water and common raw materials – like dirt, dust and sand.
IP67 Level
The first digit after IP is the rating the IEC assigned for its resistance to solids. In this case, it’s six (6) – which means no “harmful” dust or dirt seeped into the unit after being in direct contact with the matter.
The second digit is for the water resistance rating. R15 Pro has seven (7), meaning that the device can be submerged in up to one meter of fresh water for half an hour.

The IEC rating is strictly for freshwater. It doesn't guarantee protection from submersion to other liquids like saltwater, beer, coffee, soda, and others.
Note:
Please don’t charge the mobile phone when it is in damp conditions. Please refer to the User Manual for the cleaning and drying instructions. Damage caused by liquid immersion is not covered by the warranty. See Learn what to do if phone has water or other liquid damage.
