CompactPhones5ever, 04 May 2019False.
Doogee S40.
Released in MARCH 2019.
Costs ... moreValid point , but also take into the account that those Chinese phones have bad software whereas oneplus invests a lot in tat department also. So when u ask me if investing software , dash charging is important OR investing in IP rating is important ? , then I would rather skip getting the phone IP rated.
Just my humble opinion.

This ad might pose an ethical problem but they also have a disclaimer on the bottom, so they aren't exactly straight up lying to your face either.

Doogee S40.
Released in MARCH 2019.
Costs €73.
DOES have IP68 rating.
Seventy-three euros! That's L I T E R A L L Y 1 less zero in the price tag compared to OnePlus 7.
How much do you guys think the IP rating costs? If it added 20€ to the price tag, all these chinese sub-100$ rugged phones couldn't exist.
"The certificate costs too much" argument is absolute 100% pure BULLSH*T. OnePlus is bloating the price while cutting corners. Ridiculous that there're still people defending them even in this.

>sub-100$ chinese phones (e.g. e&l w5s, zoji z7, ulefone armor x2, blackview bv5500, e&l w7 etc. etc.) have ip rating because customers want to know their phones survive some misusage
>800$ oneplus 7 doesn't have it because it's too expensive

1) you get caught by rain
2) you drop your phone in the sink or toilet
3) your phone is dirty and you open faucet to clean it.
They are not going to fix for free if swim with the device ... That is new rule.
That is why they call "water resistant" not "waterproof"

Why don't use that money for use improved features, design, etc. As if it wasn't enough expensive now for a basic phone with only their UI as a sales point. The most expensive UI must be.... Again they have been caught!!!

OHHHH we can't spend $20-$30 in the IP68 protection per phone but we ask $723, $766, $838 and more for them!!! Liars. Does not it have anything to do with the pop-up camera and be a clone of Oppo and Vivo?
