"The OnePlus 15 is IP68 and IP69 rated for dust and water resistance, whereas the Galaxy S25 Ultra offers an IP68 rating. For the unaware, IP68 is for submersion, while the latter is for water jets at temperatures up to 80°C, ensuring the device can withstand even more extreme conditions. These are more important in day-to-day use, thanks to a screen that can withstand water droplets."
"You can't use a Samsung or Apple phone's screen in a drizzle or around the pool because the water droplets register fake touches. I could be replying to a text message and have to wipe off the screen consistently to get my message right. By contrast, the OnePlus 15's display allows you to interact with the screen even when it's covered in water droplets."
OnePlus 15 launches as a lower-cost flagship alternative to top-tier models like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The phone pairs the latest Qualcomm flagship processor with a big, bright display and a large battery. Durability is emphasized with IP68 and IP69 ratings, enabling interaction with the touchscreen even when covered in water droplets. The Galaxy S25 Ultra remains a strong option for buyers seeking Samsung’s flagship features and ecosystem advantages. Pricing can approach flagship levels when opting for higher storage and RAM configurations. Buyers should weigh durability, display behavior in wet conditions, performance, battery, and price.
